These are from different generations — the E83 (2003–2010) and the F25 (2010–2017) — so the glove boxes are not interchangeable; the dashboard designs are completely different between the two. Stick to sourcing a glove box from the same generation as your car. Always confirm the exact match with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes, all variants of the BMW X3 across every generation have a glove box on the passenger side of the dashboard — it is a standard interior fitting regardless of engine, drivetrain, or trim level. You do not need to worry about whether your particular engine or gearbox affects whether this part was fitted.
The F25 generation ran from 2010 to 2017, with a facelift introduced in 2014 that brought some dashboard and trim changes. Glove boxes from within the pre-facelift period (2010–2014) or within the post-facelift period (2014–2017) are your safest bet; whether a pre-facelift unit swaps directly into a post-facelift car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
For the BMW X3, the glove box itself is not significantly altered by trim level — the core unit fits across SE, xLine, M Sport, and similar trims within the same generation. You may notice cosmetic differences such as stitching, finish colour, or badging between a donor car and your own, so check the trim details with the breaker if appearance matters to you.
The E83 generation covered 2003 to 2010, so both a 2006 and a 2008 X3 fall within the same generation, making a swap plausible. However, you should still confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as minor running changes during a generation can occasionally affect interior fitment.
No — the glove box is a pure interior trim component and is not determined by whether your X3 has a petrol, diesel, or any particular drivetrain configuration. Focus on matching the generation (E83 2003–2010, F25 2010–2017, or G01 2017 onwards) rather than engine details, and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
