Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 5th of 16 in Power-to-weight (195 hp/t). 5th of 16 in Power-to-weight (195 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 8,2 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.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW X3 M Competition (1st with 4.1 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Jaguar F-PACE SVR (1st with 285 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.8 s 0-100 (9th of 16 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the X3 M40i ranks 9th of 16 in 0–100 km/h, 0.7 s off the reference BMW X3 M Competition (4.1 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (12th of 16 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 285 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 16 D-SUV 2018–2022, the X3 M40i ranks 9th of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s, behind the BMW X3 M Competition), 12th of 16 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Jaguar F-PACE SVR), 5th of 16 in Power-to-weight (195 hp/t, behind the Jaguar F-PACE SVR).

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 BMW X3 M Competition instead?

The BMW X3 M Competition leads in 0–100 km/h (4.1 s vs 4.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the X3 M40i vs BMW X3 M Competition 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.
