These new spy photos not only show of the upcoming G45-generation X3\u2019s interior, they show off its upgraded technology.

One half of the display is the iDrive screen (more on that in a bit) and the other half is the digital gauge cluster. The latter is likely set to get a refresh, due to the former being all-new for the G45.<\/p>\n<h2>Curved Display and New iDrive<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CnPT0aFMYFm\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" readability=\"0\"\/>\n<p>When the G45 BMW X3 arrives, it\u2019s likely to have BMW\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/04\/bmw-x1-idrive-9\/\">iDrive 9<\/a> system. We already broke down the differences between the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/10\/bmw-models-idrive9-idrive8-5\/\">iDrive 8.5 and iDrive 9<\/a>. The latter will only be used on the newest of BMWs, starting with the 7 Series only for now. However, all new subsequent BMWs will also get the newest system. The X3 will be able to use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/07\/bmw-x1-models-with-new-headunit-get-idrive-9\/\"> iDrive 9<\/a> because it will come with the latest Android-based head unit, rather than the old Linux one.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_437312\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-437312\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-437312\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"2025 bmw x3 m performance 1 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2025 bmw x3 m performance 1 830x554\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-437312\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20554%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"2025 bmw x3 m performance 1 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2025-bmw-x3-m-performance-1.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2025 bmw x3 m performance 1 830x554\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-437312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along with the new screen, the G45 X3 has an entirely new center console design, BMW\u2019s new toggle switch shifter, and the same new steering wheel design as the 7 Series and X1. All of that was to be expected, though, as with all new BMWs.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the new iDrive and digital gauges look on the BMW X3 (and 7 Series once it\u2019s updated). We also know that BMW is working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/06\/2025-bmw-neue-klasse-interior-teased-to-debut-with-electric-sedan\/\">advanced head-up displays<\/a>, so it will be interesting to see if that manifests itself on the X3. Either way, the new X3 will be the beginning of the end for BMW\u2019s CLAR architecture, as it will be one of the last new cars built on it, as BMW makes way for its Neue Klasse of electric vehicles, one of which being the iX3.<\/p>\n<h2>BMW X3 M50i Likely<\/h2>\n<p>In the United States, the 2025 BMW X3 is said to come in a base version and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/17\/bmw-x3-m40i-m-sport-edition\/\">M Performance model<\/a>. The latter is rumored to transition to the \u201cM50i\u201d designation, but nothing is official yet. An illuminated grille is apparently in the works for the G45, and so are driving aids to match those offered for the current X5. A small bump in size seems logical taking into consideration that the X1 now stretches 4.5 meters (177.1 inches) long.<\/p>\n<p>A full-fat M variant is apparently not planned. BMW is said to be working on an iX3 M which is a fully-electric M SUV. There is no release date at the moment, but with the regular X3 starting production in August 2024, an X3 M electric won\u2019t arrive until 2026-2027.<\/p>\n<p>[Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x3-spied-with-curved-display-minimalist-shifter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Car Scoops<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s another BMW X3 on the way, built on current CLAR architecture.
