Demanding drivers: 4th of 12 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s), 4th of 12 in Power-to-weight (196 hp/t). 4th of 12 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s), 4th of 12 in Power-to-weight (196 hp/t).
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 9,1 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (1st with 3.8 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (1st with 283 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 4.8 s 0-100 (4th of 12 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the X3 M40i ranks 4th of 12 in 0–100 km/h, 1.0 s off the reference Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (3.8 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (8th of 12 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 283 km/h.

BMW X3 M40i: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the X3 M40i rank in its segment?
Among the 12 D-SUV 2016–2020, the X3 M40i ranks 4th of 12 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s, behind the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio), 8th of 12 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio), 4th of 12 in Power-to-weight (196 hp/t, behind the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio).
How much does the X3 M40i cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio instead?
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio leads in 0–100 km/h (3.8 s vs 4.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the X3 M40i vs Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
