I'm sure we all expected this, but good to see some more reporting on it.
Good read. I will come out and just say it. 450/475 HP is not going to cut it vs the competition. Needs to be at 475/500 HP. BMW has the experience and technology to do it. Look at what 600 HP and M-XDrive did for the F90 M5.

At the X3M CP price point, you will be able to get into a 580 HP Jaguar FPace SVR. If JLR can finally get their reliability gremlins squared away, it will be a serious performance competitor in segment.
That's a big if on JLR reliability.
