BMW X3 M wheel fitment — F97 LCI
Overview
The third-generation BMW X3 F97 is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW since 2017. It was designed to offer improved performance and technology over its predecessor, the second generation (F25). The production of this model began in 2017 at BMW's Rosslyn plant in South Africa alongside the Spartanburg plant in the USA after a major upgrade for X3 production capacity. This generation features advanced drivetrains including petrol variants with the powerful B58 engine and diesel options, as well as an electric variant (BMW iX3). The F97 version introduced the 3.0 L S58 engine specifically for the M model in 2019.
History & notable variants
The third-generation X3 was unveiled in June 2017 and marked a significant upgrade from its predecessor, featuring enhanced technology such as gesture control (optional), LED lighting, and BMW iDrive 6.0 system with a large touch-screen monitor for navigation systems. The M variant of the F97 model was introduced in 2019, equipped with the powerful S58 engine.
BMW X3 M wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for BMW X3 M wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the BMW X3 M F97 LCI.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–9.5J | ET7–ET30 |
| Rear (staggered) | 10J–11J | ET24–ET44 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
