I would love to buy an X3 M if it offers a turbo 400+ HP, which it should have if they do make a X3 is, otherwise what would be the point of the M? It would be like if they made a 135 is, what would you do with it? X3 M would probably be the same price as an M3, but would allow them to get rid of the sedan like they are planning, you want 4 doors, buy the SUV version, which would be my plan, 2 kids, I need a bigger car, but still would love the power and agility of a M. For the haters out there, get over it, BMW wants to make money, hitting every niche market allows them, they made a killing on the X6 even though tons of people hate it. They are also making good money on the X5M and X6M cars, build it and people will buy it.

Only other problem is where do you make an X3 M since all production is in the US for that car, they aren't set up in Germany to build them, buliding the shell here, shipping it out there and shipping it back would be a huge cost.
