Question 1

Which engines does the new BMW X3 have in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

The 20 petrol with 211 PS, the 20d diesel with 197 PS, the 30e plug-in hybrid with 299 PS, the 40d diesel with 303 PS and the M50 petrol with 443 PS. All have xDrive and an automatic gearbox; the 40d and M50 use a 3.0-litre six-cylinder, the others a 2.0-litre four.

Question 2

How far does the BMW X3 30e go on electricity?

Accepted Answer

Its 20 kWh battery gives an official electric range of 89 km. It pays BPM on its WLTP CO₂ figure like any other car, since plug-in hybrids lost their own tariff in 2025, and as a petrol plug-in it pays no fuel surcharge in the MRB.

Question 3

What do BPM and MRB mean for a new BMW X3?

Accepted Answer

The BPM, the one-off registration tax on WLTP CO₂, is already in the list price, and the 20d and 40d add a diesel surcharge to it. The MRB road tax is then billed per quarter on weight and fuel plus your province's opcenten, so the diesels cost more each quarter than the petrol versions.

Question 4

When does a new BMW X3 need its first APK?

Accepted Answer

At four years for the petrol versions and the 30e plug-in hybrid, then at six and eight years and yearly after that. The 20d and 40d diesels go first at three years and then every year.

Question 5

Should I buy a new BMW X3 or a used one?

Accepted Answer

A new X3 brings the full factory warranty and the specification you choose, but loses value fastest in its first years. A used one on Dutch plates has already paid its BPM and costs less, and one of the current generation shares the same engines.
