BMW will bolstered the X3 range with the addition of
a four-cylinder petrol powered X3 xDrive20i.
The new two-litre petrol model drops the entry point to the X3 range to $59,200* and is the
fourth engine variant to join the BMW X3 line-up.
Codenamed ‘N20’, the brand new four-cylinder engine features a twin-scroll turbocharger with
VALVETRONIC, Double-VANOS camshaft control and High Precision Injection. This gives the X3 xDrive20i
power output of 135 kW and 270 Nm of torque, allowing acceleration from a standing start to 100
km/h in just 8.6 seconds.
Fuel efficiency of 7.5 l/00 km comes courtesy of BMW EfficientDynamics features such as Automatic
Start/Stop Function, Brake Energy Regeneration and Low Rolling Resistance tyres. C02 emissions are
175 g/km.
As with all models in the X3 range, the X3 xDrive20i comes standard with an 8-speed automatic
transmission with Steptronic, which provides finely differentiated gear ratios, allowing for better
exploitation of the engine speed range. In addition, this smoothly graded gear-stepping means not
only more comfortable, linear acceleration, but also allows the engine to run at optimal engine
speed for longer, increasing efficiency.

The new X3 xDrive20i comes with generous standard specification, further adding to the value of
this new entry point model. Standard specification matches that of the highly successful X3
xDrive20d, including 17” V-spoke alloys, cruise control with braking function, Electric Power
Steering with Servotronic, Rear View Camera, Anti-dazzle interior mirror, Park Distance Control
front and rear, rain sensors with automatic headlight control, Automatic climate control, BMW Radio
Professional and Bluetooth.
Since its local launch in March, the second generation BMW X3 range has seen more than 1,500 cars
sold in Australia.
The new X3 xDrive20i will be available in local BMW showrooms next month.
