BMW is updating the 2027 X3 M50 with an increase in engine output and changes to its styling. Both outlets report that the 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six receives a performance upgrade intended to raise power by 44 horsepower.
Car and Driver says the update brings the SUV’s output to 437 hp, and describes the addition of a “sinister” appearance package. Jalopnik similarly focuses on the horsepower gain and frames the update in terms of how close it brings the X3 M50 to its main competitor, while also noting that BMW is making additional changes beyond the power bump. Together, the accounts emphasize both the mechanical update to horsepower and the new exterior presentation for the 2027 model year, though details of the appearance package are described more directly by Car and Driver.
