Available in 473-hp standard and 503-hp Competition flavors, BMW's latest M ute is as capable as it is silly.
The 2020 BMW X3 M, and its short-roof counterpart, the X4 M, come with 473 horsepower as standard. And if a 473-hp SUV doesn't quite suite your fancy, then try the 503-hp competition versions. Read the full story here.
The additional 30 horsepower in the X3 M Competition comes thanks to slightly greater turbo boost and a less restrictive exhaust system.
Numerous chassis braces as well as stiffer springs, bushings, and anti-roll bars account for the X3 M's sharper moves over the X3 M40i.
BMW's S58—the latest twin-turbocharged inline-six from the brand—is the highest-specific-output BMW engine made today.
Fixed four-piston front brake calipers from the M760i sedan clamp 15.6-inch front rotors on the X3 M.
Competition versions of the X3 M come standard with 21-inch wheels (20s are standard), leather interior, and minor styling tweaks.
BMW made every X3 M all-wheel drive because the world most certainly doesn't need a rear-wheel drive SUV with 473 horsepower.
From the engine back, the X3 M shares its powertrain with the M5, using the sedan's ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and its electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential.
Though it's stiffer, the X3 M doesn't sit any lower than the X3 M40i.
BMW 3-D prints the cores from which the S58's new cylinder head is cast. The new process allows more intricate cooling channels required to match with the closed-deck engine block.
Two torque-split modes—4WD and 4WD Sport—accompany the X3 M's many adjustable chassis parameters.
