The next big thing for millionaires with nothing better to do with their money!!
Why would you buy one of these?.... you want a great handling performance car? so buy an M2/M3... or if you really know your stuff, a Porsche... These are overpriced SUVs... emphasis on the word UTILITY!!! I just don’t get these cars and can’t believe I’m the only one! X3... I get. X4, sure for those who want a slightly less ‘frumpy’ X3... but M versions... really??? |

If the majority concludes the X3/X4M will be quicker than the f80, what will make the new G chasis M3/M4 attractive and surpass the awd powered SAV's without an awd system and added hp? The current chasis has problems putting the power to the ground already in rwd format. Don't think it's a good production move by the company if you ask me. SAV's already outsell sedans and now a small SAV that outperforms the bread and butter of the brand. I hope BMW thought this through. Don't want to make the jump to an SAV but I can't fathom watching the tailights of an X3 get smaller in my f80 M3 windshield. it would eat me up inside.😂

I wonder if the E46 M3 was given 333 BHP (343 in EU, IIRC) because the CSL needed “room”? Or maybe they made the original as good as they could...and then tried harder with the CSL. This new approach makes little sense to me...who will bother with the “base” Ms going forward??

Considering the same... less the lease swap part. Currently in a 17 X5M but will probably be due right around the time the X3M will finally release.

M versions of SUVs were gonna happen. When M Division stuck the LeMans V12 in an X5, the deal was sealed. Especially since Mercedes had a AMG’d up ML. So, this is the natural course of things. And BMW has to keep up with the competition. The X3 and X4 are smaller versions of the X5 and X6, which have their own respective M versions. So it makes sense. Now, the real question is, would they make an X1M and X2M? And would that have a S48. And how much power—-380, 400? And if so, would that S48 go into a 1M or 2 series GC (M2 GC)? Which are built on the UKL FWD/AWD chassis? |

You'll miss that V8 of the F85. Then when the F95 is released in 2+ years putting down 600 up lease swap again?

It will be interesting how much the X3M cannibalizes future G80 sales, especially as the X3M will be to market by 1 1/2 years. M4 and M4 vert is a different customer demographic. Don't see M4 customers changing to the X4M, as it would be a M3 customer who needs the four doors.

That exact frustrated customer. I absolutely love and want the M4, BUT it is NOT yet offered with "M xDrive." I've been requested that for years now. I've also requested an X4 M for as many years as the X6 M has existed. So their you go! Crazy guys like me want just ONE BMW M high performance ride, but also needs and wants to be able to carry shit, such as hauling a drum set, mountain bikes, driving in all kinds of weather conditions without any limitations whatsoever.

2000 BMW OEM Multi-Trailer
I hope so for both X3 M & X4 M models.
For cool stuff like this? The 18 year old BMW OEM Multi-Trailer introduced way back in 2000, yes folks that's 18 years ago. It came out right before 9/11 when the first X5 was introduced. I say it's time to bring it back! It's time to put "ACTIVITY" back into the BMW SAVs!!! https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1503650 Last edited by DCG; 09-11-2018 at 11:58 AM.. |
