Great color and this thing is quick!
for it's price point, im okay with that dash. If they added too many x5m features it would drive the cost up and potentially take away from sales of those vehicles.

A manual steering wheel in an M? Does the cost reflect that?
Moderator: The 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series 4 Series, X1, X2, X3, and X4 all have manual steering wheel adjustments. As usual, any M products that are based on them will share their feature set. These are entry and mid level luxury products that don’t have all of the content of the 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series, X5, X6, X7 and M products based on them. As a general rules, an M vehicle’s higher price reflects a healthy dose of additional Performance above the Series vehicle. M Division is not about adding luxury features.

That's because the price is not in the X5M or M5 league.

Yeah I agree. It's sad because they had a great opportunity to knock this one out of the park. I hate to say it as a huge fan of BMW M but it's an embarrassment to the brand. They need to fire whoever green lighted this project.

It's a typical 2010s watered down ' first EDITION ' model from BMW. the BMW M2 came out with Non M motor No M mirrors MASSIVE FENDER FLARES BMW X3M HAS M MOTOR HAS M MIRRORS No fender flares. If the X3M is successful they will make it more radical. |

Here is a first non-commercial exhaust video. Sounds great IMO. Unfortunately the European models will not have the same sound due to OPF. |

BMW makes M cars with Dual Personalities now.. incredible comfort when in efficient and up to full tilt.... driven hard you will see there are no compromises you will really only experience that effect visiting a track day or a BMW performance driving school. At least that's my Biased opinion !!! |

I think it looks ok but the performance is going to be exceptional. People want a X5M at X3 prices. This is going to be fast and placed perfectly in the lineup.

I drove an X3 base and will have to agree that it was taller and wider than I was hoping for. The X3M40 seems like a waste other than being faster. The X3M ups the game and the comp model seating and interior are fantastic but I am hoping that it's lowered a little bit and more engaging to drive as well. Will give it a spin. |

That's Great!! I don't think you will be disappointed the cars grip and traction was mind boggling......things an SAV should not be able to do ! Not trying to sound like Im some Rockstar but I promise you I'm hard to impress and the X3M did !

Similarly, I'm betting the X3M has significant improvements in those same areas over the X3M40i. Quite a few X3M40i owners have posted that they are upgrading to the X3M, so we'll know soon. Last edited by TX3M; 06-07-2019 at 05:36 PM.. |

Imagine what a X3 M40i tune will do? I managed to do 0-60 in 3.8s on just pump gas and winter tires in friends car. Quote:
