The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.
Where the 3.0L 6-cyl sits in the X5 engine lineup
Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years recorded for it; the price is a reference across priced configurations, with each configuration weighted equally. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — overlapping years alone do not match the vehicles by age, trim, mileage or condition.
2001–2026 The 4.4L 8-cyl configuration price reference is about $11,107 more — $26,798 against $15,691. These references cover each family's full set of priced configurations; they are not recalculated for the overlapping years or matched cars.

Which X5 years got a 3.0L 6-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full X5 report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 3.0L 6-cyl X5: common questions
Which X5 years have the 3.0L 6-cyl?
2001–2026 — 25 model years in our VIN decode, across 54 factory configurations and 421,662 VINs.
What does a 3.0L 6-cyl X5 cost?
$15,691 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
