How much is a new BMW X3 in Arlington before options and fees?
A new X3 in Arlington starts at $51,300, the 2026 starting MSRP BMW publishes for the 30 xDrive. The trim you choose moves the price from that starting point.
The X3 comes in more than one trim, so the base figure is a floor rather than the whole answer. The 30 xDrive is the entry point. The trim, the options you add and the fees on the bill decide the total. We sell the new X3 alongside the rest of our new BMW lineup, from the X1 and X7 to the electric i4, i5, i7 and iX.
What does each 2026 BMW X3 trim cost?
The M50 xDrive is the step up in the X3 lineup, with a 2026 starting MSRP of $66,500 and 393 horsepower against the 30 xDrive’s 255. Both trims are hybrids. The EPA certifies 29 mpg combined for the xDrive30 and 27 for the M50.
Power and price rise together here. The 30 xDrive suits a buyer who wants the lower starting figure and the X3’s everyday capability. The M50 suits a buyer who wants more power and will pay the higher starting MSRP for it. The whole X3 line carries a 4 year/50,000-mile BMW New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty, so that coverage does not change between trims.
What do options and packages add to a new X3’s price?
A buyer who wants a specific build can reserve an incoming X3 or place a custom factory order through BMW of Arlington. Every option you add sits on top of the starting MSRP, so the build you choose sets the final price.
Reserving an incoming vehicle suits a buyer who is happy with a car already on its way. A custom factory order suits a buyer who wants a particular combination of equipment. Either way, start from $51,300 for the 30 xDrive or $66,500 for the M50 xDrive, then add what you chose.
What fees and taxes are added to a new BMW X3 in Texas?
The out-the-door price in Texas is the vehicle price plus the fees and taxes on the bill. Texas rules set what several of those lines are, so you can total them before you visit.
Registration is one of the clearest lines. The standard fee for a car is a $50.75 base registration fee, and the Insurance Verification Project (TexasSure) adds $1, so the registration line on a renewal notice reads $51.75 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
The documentary fee has no hard dollar cap. A fee above $225 requires a notification and a cost analysis filed with the state, under a rule effective July 11, 2024 (Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, Motor Vehicle Advisory Bulletin B16-5, 2024).
Some dealers add a vehicle inventory tax as a separate line. That tax is a property tax on the dealer, not the buyer, and it is a negotiable item on the sales agreement (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Motor Vehicle Tax Guide, publication 96-254, 2026). The electric-vehicle registration fee does not apply to hybrids, and both X3 trims are hybrids (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
Can you lease or finance a new BMW X3 at BMW of Arlington?
At BMW of Arlington you can lease a new BMW or finance one with new BMW financing, and we also offer pre-owned car loans. Either route turns the price into a monthly payment you can weigh against your budget.

Greg was amazing in getting everything in order. Team work makes the dream work at this dealership. Nasser most intelligent with finances and helping with understanding my needs. This is the second car I’ve purchased in one year from this amazing dealership and I live very far away. Deal with Arlington from anywhere in the country and know you will be taken care of!”
How does a trade-in lower the cost of a new X3?
Texas charges motor vehicle sales tax at 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). The trade-in comes off the taxable amount before the rate applies, so a trade-in lowers the tax on the new X3.
Ask for the trade-in allowance and the sales price as separate figures on the paperwork. That lets you see the taxable amount directly. The trade is one line in the purchase, and the tax rule is why its value matters beyond the check you do not write.
