According to BMW’s own 2026 model-year figures, the X3 starts at $51,300 and the 3 Series starts at $48,000. Every X5 trim listed, from the sDrive40i to the M Competition, seats five. So does every 3 Series sedan listed.

|---|---|
| X3 30 xDrive | $51,300 |
| X3 M50 xDrive | $66,500 |

Say, hypothetically, your budget is $50,000. The 330i Sedan at $48,000 fits under it, and the 330i xDrive Sedan at $50,000 sits right at it. Bring that number to your appointment so the test drive stays on the cars you can afford.
