A fews days ago, BMW Qatar launched the 2018 BMW X3 under the sole authorized dealership of Alfardan Automobiles and JBCMotive was privileged to be in attendance.
The model on showcase is the BMW X3 M with 3.0l Twin-turbo paired to an eight speed automatic transmission, and all that power is delivered to the road through and Xdrive system.
The 3 Series might be BMW’s iconic touchstone, but the X3 is fast becoming its lodestone. The third-generation BMW X3 is therefore a critically important new vehicle for the Bavarian automaker. One in three BMWs sold worldwide these days carries an X badge, and BMW clearly expects the X3 to soon supplant the X5 as the company’s most popular SUV, having announced plans to augment production out of Spartanburg, South Carolina, with new X3 assembly lines in South Africa and China opening in 2018.

The new X3 is slightly larger and roomier than its predecessor, as you’d perhaps expect, but more importantly, it feels a more mature vehicle to drive, quieter and more composed on the road, and laden with BMW’s latest technology. You can tell this is a product that’s now core to the BMW brand.
This model comes with a 355-hp/369-lb-ft version of the 3.0-liter turbocharged I-6 under the hood and a bunch of sport-oriented mechanical components and appearance items.
The new BMW X3 2018 rolls on BMW’s new and highly flexible KLAR architecture, which also underpins the new 5 and 7 Series models. Compared with the previous X3, it’s about 2 inches longer overall and about a half-inch wider. More importantly, the wheelbase has been increased by 2.2 inches, which means a welcome increase in rear-seat legroom. The exterior design is an evolution of the previous X3’s, though it articulated the current BMW house style, with fuller surfaces and softer lines. It not only looks more sophisticated than the old X3, especially riding on 19- or 20-inch wheels, but also boasts an impressive drag coefficient of just 0.29.
