What BMW X3 do most buyers choose?

The BMW X3 years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.

What is the BMW X3's resale value?

Most BMW X3 model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more value for your money. The steepest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few model years have declined more modestly. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across much of the lineup.

The 2018, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used BMW X3 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest X3 pairs a 255-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a 393-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, and the straight six’s 48-volt mild hybrid system helps keep the automatic engine stop/start system barely noticeable.
• Tech: The BMW Curved Display combines a 12.3-inch digital driver display with a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and BMW Operating System 9 adds cloud-based navigation, Augmented View video, app-store access, in-vehicle gaming, and video streaming capability.

• Starting price: You can buy a 2026 BMW X3 30 xDrive for as little as $52,650 including destination.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
