BMW X1 vs. X3: Performance

The BMW X1 is a fantastically versatile, compact BMW. With precise 50/50 weight distribution and active performance features like standard Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control, the BMW X1 will drive throughout Fresno with comfort and sporty handling. Compare BMW models in the chart above and you’ll see the X1 shares a 2.0L TwinPower Turbo engine with the X3 for plenty of pick-me-up and power like it’s 0-60 mph acceleration in just 6.6 seconds.

The BMW X3, on the other hand, is made for the extra-adventurous Clovis family. It’s same base-model 2.0L TwinPower Turbo generates a bit more horsepower at 248 hp. It also reaches 60 mph in just 6.0 seconds. This natural athlete sits higher on the road, has sedan-like agility, and offers super-charged options like the BMW X3 M series model with racetrack-inspired power. If you’re looking for something with a bit more all-terrain capability, the X3 may be the best option for you.
