BMW has given the X3 and X4 SUVs a minor update for the 2020 model year.
 
Every X3 and X4 variant gets a $1000 price rise, meaning prices now start at $63,900 plus on-road costs for the X3 sDrive20i.
 
The base-model now gets BMW Live Cockpit Professional (a digital instrument cluster), wireless smartphone charging, 32GB of storage, and the Connected Package Professional which includes a one year Apple CarPlay subscription.
 
Wider equipment highlights include 19-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone climate control, satellite navigation, a head-up display, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and a rear-view camera.
 
Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine capable of 135kW and 290Nm. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.
 
The xDrive20d (from $67,900 before on-road costs) gets the same spec sheet but moves to a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel producing 140kW and 400Nm.
 
High-spec xDrive30i and xDrive30d models remain unchanged, meaning 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, leather trim, a powered tailgate, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera are all included as standard.
 
The xDrive30i uses a 185kW/350Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, while the xDrive30d packs an inline-six turbo-diesel that develops 195kW and 620Nm. It should be noted the ā€˜30dā€™ variant is only available as an X3.
 
M40i models are powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight six-cylinder petrol engine producing 265kW of power output and 500Nm of torque.
 
The M performance twins also get adaptive M suspension, an M Sport differential, 21-inch M light alloy wheels, M brakes, a panoramic sunroof and a 16-speaker harman/kardon audio system.
