respective features and systems.
Information
The technical data and specifications in this
Owner's Manual are used as guidance values.
The vehicle-specific data can deviate from this,

ment, country version or country-specific
measurement method. Detailed values can be
found in the approval documents, on labels onthe vehicle or can be obtained from a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop.

model version, equipment or country-specific
measurement method.
The specified heights do not take into account
attached parts, for example, a roof antenna,roof racks or spoiler. The heights can deviate,

ment, tires, load and chassis version. BMW X3Width with mirrorsinches/mm82.2/2,089Width without mirrorsinches/mm74.1/1,881Heightinches/mm66.1-66.1/1,678-1,679Lengthinches/mm183.6/4,663Wheelbaseinches/mm110.6/2,810Smallest turning radius diam.ft/m39.1/11.9Seite 250ReferenceTechnical data250
