Per first post:
The X3 M will be introduced in early 2019 and begin production as a MY2020 vehicle (U.S.). The new S58 engine will make 450-460 HP. (per ynguldn's info)

I am not getting at all this 2019 introduction and 2020 on sale ! It does not make any sense.
We are seeing a vehicle that is completely ready, and from what i know from past BMW vehicles, it will be at showrooms in less than a year ! 8 series and M8 are supposed to be ready next year and we dont even know the shape of the real car, and for this already exhibited X3 we must wait 2 more years for its M version????? Guys, the vehicle is ready ! its the final tests. Why should they wait 2 years ? Audi and Merc have their AMG and RS version ready at launch! BMW follows. |

wonder if I could drop the fuck out of this thing and turn it into a U.S.-spec M3 wagon...

Disagree completely. The X3M must be a good competitor, but the current versions of the X3 are not at the level of the Macan

I am a bit surprised how much camo has been removed though, usually its not that revealing 2 years before launch! Still hoping for CF roof and unique M Mirrors. I am thinking the X4M might get the CF Roof and X3M gets sunroof only. Last edited by Mako; 09-20-2017 at 06:50 PM.. |

The camo coming off here isn't indicative of nearing a final design. Evidenced by that front fender lacking a signature m gill - it's just the front quarter off an x3.
While M gmbh may skimp on some exterior items for "lower level" m cars (no cf roof or m mirrors on the M2), everything gets an m side gill and quad pipes. If rumors hold true and the x3m brings a proper S motor, history suggests more of the m-signature design elements. I hope there is added work on the front and rear quarters to widen the car and make it look more aggressive. I'm optimistic we'll get fatter, stickier rear rubber with a bulging wheel arch extending beyond where the mules run - even if it just a painted plastic extension like in the x5m (and X5 m sport). Please get us north of 295 in rear tire width from the factory! |

The straight line performance to 60 of the X3M40i same as the Macan turbo and dare I say also F10 M5 performance. Unless you are tracking it and need better handling and torque, for everyday use don't see the edge of the turbo, would save the $$$. Wait to,see the X3M specs it will be best best in class performance if the rumors are true.

One would have to go back all the way to early 2016 to see F90 in the same stage of development as F97 is now. 18 months or more. 2019 calendar year as a 2020 model. And I'll be happy to make arrangements with any fool willing to bet otherwise. |

this is not correct. They are not close at all in real world settings. the Macan turbo is far superior and by far the best handling SUV in the market.

BMW was right in renaming theirs to SAVs, X4 is the same, those cars are in no way "utility" vehicles Even the new Mini Countryman has 17.6 cu ft. My old Mercedes C63 (W204) had 17, 4 series GC has 17... X3M will be the best handling/overall Real SUV on the market when it comes out okay maybe the Alfa Stelvio Quad will give it a run for its money, but I would never be able to put up with its Nav system and would always worry about reliability.
