<p>BMW has confirmed that the pre-bookings for the X3 30 xDrive will open at 12:30 PM&nbsp;on January 30, 2026, with launch set for February 16.&nbsp;BMW currently offers the X3 in xDrive20 petrol&nbsp;and xDrive20d diesel variants,&nbsp;both powered by 2.0-litre turbo engines.&nbsp;The new 30 xDrive will have an M Sport Pro package and an updated powertrain. It will be produced locally at the company's plant in Chennai. Here's all you need to know about the new&nbsp;BMW X3 30 xDrive.</p><h2>BMW X3 30 xDrive: Design</h2><p>Globally, the all-new X3 has already made its debut  with the X3 30 xDrive and the high-performance X3 M50 xDrive variants. In India, the&nbsp;X3 30 xDrive will be launched in a&nbsp;M Sport Pro avatar, likely featuring enhanced sporty styling and features.&nbsp;</p><p>As seen on the global-spec new X3, the overall stance looks more aggressive and muscular.

<p>After years of discussions, India and the European Union have finally agreed on a free trade deal, and this one has caught the attention of car buyers and auto industry watchers. The reason is simple. Europe builds many of the cars Indians want, while India remains one of the toughest markets in the world for imports due to high duties. The India–EU FTA aims to ease trade between both sides by cutting tariffs and simplifying regulations. For the auto sector, this could slowly change how European cars enter India. The agreement is expected to take effect from 2027. It may not rewrite prices overnight, but it does open the door to a market that has remained tightly shut for decades.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/maruti-suzuki-victoris-export-begins-from-gujarat-122728/">Maruti Suzuki Victoris Export Begins from Gujarat</a></p><h2>Import Duties Will Reduce</h2><p>At present, importing a fully built car into India attracts duties of up to 110 per cent. Under the newly concluded India–EU Free Trade Agreement, these tariffs will come down to 10 per cent under an annual quota of 250,000 vehicles. The deal, finalised after nearly two decades of negotiations, sets a clear framework for European car imports while keeping volumes under control.</p><p>One thing worth keeping in mind is that the lower tariff applies only to cars built in Europe. If a model is manufactured outside the EU, it will not get the benefit even if it wears a European badge. Take BMW for example. The M2 is built in Mexico, while the XM and X6 are manufactured in the USA, which means these models will not fall under the reduced duty structure.</p><h2>What does this Mean for Car Prices in India</h2><p>Lower import duties will bring down the landing cost, especially for fully imported models. Final pricing will still depend on brand strategy, exchange rates and state taxes. So while price drops may not happen overnight, the gap between imported and locally built cars is will shrink over time, giving buyers more choice and better value in the premium segment.</p><h2>Carmakers may Rethink their India Strategy</h2><p>The trade deal could push European brands to take a fresh look at their India plans after the tariff drop. With lower duties, it becomes easier to bring in more models and rethink pricing for the market. Some manufacturers may still prefer local assembly to keep costs in check, but the FTA gives brands more room when planning investments and future launches.</p><h2>Local Manufacturing and Suppliers Stay in Focus</h2><p>Indian component makers may face added competition, but there is also an opportunity. If more brands increase assembly operations, demand for&nbsp;locally sourced parts could rise. Suppliers that meet EU standards may even gain export access. Safeguard clauses in the agreement allow the government to step in if imports grow too fast, keeping local manufacturing protected as the deal is rolled out in phases.</p>

India-EU FTA Explained: Impact on Car Prices, Imports, and Local Manufacturing

Under the India-EU free trade agreement, import duties on cars and bikes from BMW, Ducati, Mercedes-Benz and Audi will fall from 110% to 10% under a 250000 vehicle quota.

<p>India may soon see more Euro-built cars on its roads as the Indo-EU trade deal moves closer. A major cut in import duty could change what European brands bring to India. That single change could make a big difference to what reaches Indian roads. Several global models stay away only because pricing does not work under the current tax structure. If the new duty system comes into effect, buyers may finally see more Europe-made cars rather than region-modified versions built for cost control.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/lamborghini-global-sales-hit-record-10747-units-in-2025-111-cars-sold-in-india-122736/">Lamborghini Global Sales Hit Record 10,747 Units in 2025; 111 Cars Sold in India</a></p><p>The revised import duty is expected to apply to fully built units coming from European Union countries. These will mainly include premium and mid-size cars priced above a fixed threshold. This route gives manufacturers flexibility to bring in models without committing to local assembly at the start.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740142978797-u9pp-BMW-iX-BMW-X7-Motion.webp" alt="BMW iX-BMW X7-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen stand to gain from the change. At present, these companies sell a limited number of imports due to high taxation. Lower duties could allow them to expand their line-ups and introduce global models already sold in other markets.</p><p>

European motorcycle brands like Ducati, BMW Motorrad, KTM and Triumph could benefit if similar import rules extend to bikes. This could improve access to higher-capacity motorcycles that currently arrive in restricted numbers.</p><p>The Indo-EU trade deal has been under discussion for several years and covers multiple sectors beyond automobiles. Electric vehicles may stay outside the first phase to protect local manufacturing. Even so, if approved, the agreement could reshape the premium segment and make Euro-built cars and bikes a more common sight on Indian roads.</p>

More Euro-built European Cars in India? New Indo-EU Trade Deal to Slash Import Duty on Cars

Indo-EU trade deal may cut import duty on European cars and bikes by 40 per cent, opening the door for more BMW, Ducati, Mercedes and Volkswagen models in India.

<p>BMW has finally opened up about the upcoming electric M3. Set to arrive globally in 2027, the electric M3 is built on BMW’s new Neue Klasse EV platform and signals how the M badge will live on without petrol power. BMW says the focus is still on driver involvement, even with batteries and motors replacing engines and gearboxes. The company is not chasing silence alone but trying to keep the sense of connection that M3 owners expect. From software-driven performance to features that recreate familiar driving sensations, this electric M3 is being developed to feel like a proper M car, not just a fast electric sedan wearing a famous badge.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/opinion/dhruv-behl/letter-from-the-editor-is-indias-luxury-car-market-held-back-by-poor-service-122671/">Letter from the Editor – Is India’s Luxury Car Market Held Back by Poor Service?</a></p><p>The electric M3 will sit alongside BMW’s Neue Klasse design language. Expect a clean shape with sharp lines, a wide stance, and details that separate it from regular electric BMW models. The platform allows shorter overhangs and a longer wheelbase, which should help with balance and cabin space. </p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/BMW-iM3-EV-Rear-Three-Quarters-1768478004917.webp" alt="BMW iM3 EV Rear Three Quarters.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>While full exterior images are still under wraps, BMW has hinted that classic M cues will remain, including flared arches and a low, planted look that suits a performance sedan.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/BMW-iM3-EV-Side-1768478010271.webp" alt="BMW iM3 EV Side.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>On the features front, BMW is clearly thinking about driver feel. The electric <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/m3/">M3 </a>will offer multiple driving modes, letting drivers switch between calm electric cruising and more involved settings. One key highlight is the inclusion of simulated gearshifts. These create brief torque pauses to mimic the feel of changing gears. Along with this, BMW is developing a sound system that reacts to throttle input and drive modes.</p><h2><strong>BMW M3 EV: Powertrain</strong></h2><p>The powertrain is where things get serious. The electric M3 will use four electric motors, one at each wheel, giving it full control over power delivery. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/">BMW</a> has confirmed that the front motors can be switched off, allowing rear-wheel drive when required. Power and torque are managed by a central computer system called the “Heart of Joy”, replacing mechanical differentials with software-based torque control. The battery pack sits within the structure, offers over 100kWh of usable capacity, and runs on an 800-volt system.</p><p>

Pricing and production details will come later, but what’s clear is that BMW wants enthusiasts to stay excited, even as the M3 goes electric.</p>

BMW iX3 Debuts AI-Driven, Next-generation Tech at CES 2026: Here's All You Need to Know

BMW has revealed the newest version of its Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA), now enhanced with Amazon’s advanced Alexa+ technology. Here’s what you need to know.

<p>BMW has completed the takeover of BMW Alpina, taking full control of the brand from 1 January 2026. It now runs as a standalone name within the BMW Group, alongside BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce. From a rider’s point of view, this feels like when a factory team finally brings a respected privateer fully into the garage. Alpina has always been close to BMW, much like a race-tuned engine built on a stock block. With trademark rights moving from the Bovensiepen family, the brand enters a new phase, but the base remains familiar. It signals continuity rather than a reset, with BMW now officially backing a name it has shared DNA with for decades.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-electric-bmw-ix1-lwb-byd-sealion-7-and-more-top-5-evs-of-2025-122544/">Hyundai Creta Electric, BMW iX1 LWB, BYD Sealion 7, and More: Top 5 EVs of 2025</a></p><p>BMW first bought Alpina in 2022, but allowed the Bovensiepen family to run daily operations until the end of 2025. That agreement closed in December, clearing the way for full integration. Alpina, founded 60 years ago by Burkard Bovensiepen, built its final independent model during this transition period. Think of it like the last race run before a new rulebook comes into force.</p><p>As BMW Alpina, the brand now sits apart from BMW’s M division. The focus stays on balancing performance with ride comfort and a clear driving feel. It does not chase the same goals as M cars. Instead, it keeps to precision tuning, custom specifications, and selected materials, much like setting up a touring bike for long miles rather than track laps.</p><p>BMW Alpina has also introduced a new wordmark inspired by an asymmetrical logo from the 1970s. Positioned at the centre of the rear on future models, it connects the brand’s heritage with its current identity while aligning with the BMW Group’s design approach.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-5-series-long-wheelbase-gets-an-update-for-india-heres-whats-new-122460/">BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase Gets an Update for India: Here’s What’s New</a></p><p>Design direction is now led by Max Missoni, formerly of Polestar.
