I’m looking for X3 and X5 models from the early 2010s on the used car market in Australia and I prefer to get an n55 engine. There are a couple X5s with the N55 engine, but no X3 xdrive35i models country wide. How come?

Welcome to the forum...

Maybe because the N55 wasn't offered in the X3 until the F25 series

Yes, n55s are in the X3 F25s from the 2011 xdrive35i series onwards. I’m asking why I can’t find that model on the used car market in Australia.

Well, your initial post said early 2010, which is not F25, so not N55, now you say 2011, kinda confusing where you're going with this
Good luck with your search...

Apologies for the confusion but I wrote ‘early 2010s’ as in ‘early in the 2010s decade’ and not ‘early 2010’, so like an 2011-2014 model which is the most common on the market. Keep up the engagement on my post, hopefully someone will see it and have an answer haha.

BMW Australia didn't offer the F25 X3 in either the N55 35i or N57 35d spec.
The only 6 cylinder engines in F25 here are N52 in early (2011-2012) 28i and the N57 30d spec in every model year.
F26 X4 LCI was sold here in 35i and 35d spec.
