BMW X3 M50 xDrive Black Package: exterior and interior details.

Available only for the 2027 BMW X3 M50 xDrive, the Black Package adds motorsport-inspired exterior and interior details. Exclusive 22-inch Jet Black 1134M alloy wheels extend the model’s available wheel range by one inch. Additional M light-alloy wheels remain available as options. The M Sport brake calipers feature a unique high-gloss black finish with a monochrome M logo. High-gloss black M logos and model badges with silver outlines complete the exterior treatment.

Inside, black Alcantara covers portions of the driver-side instrument panel, the area in front of the central display, the inductive-charging smartphone tray, the door trim, and the center-console armrest. The M logo is embossed into the Alcantara headrests, while black Alcantara/Veganza upholstery features blue stitching and piping.

Additional details include M interior trim in an aluminum-carbon structure, M seatbelts, and black floor mats with a flag in the M colors. Selected controls feature glass accents, and the M steering wheel includes a leather-covered airbag module specific to the Black Package.

BMW X3 M50 xDrive output increases to 437 hp.

Output from the BMW X3 M50 xDrive’s 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-six gasoline engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology increases by 44 hp to 437 hp. An enhanced exhaust system gives the engine a deeper, more resonant sound. The 2027 BMW X3 M50 xDrive now accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, or 4.0 seconds using the 1-foot rollout method. These performance gains apply to every BMW X3 M50 xDrive and are not tied to the Black Package.

Interior enhancements across the BMW X3 lineup.

Beginning in December 2026, every BMW X3 model will receive interior updates.

Additional details include a new glove-box opener and stainless-steel edge protectors for the cargo sill.
