This is going to be wicked when it debuts. Just concerned about where the price point will be on this. Probably in the mid to high 80s. I hope not though.

Does anyone know why the new X3 and X4 have metallic silver side mirrors caps, regardless of the color SAV. It looks absolutely stupid! It should be the same color of the vehicle or my personal preference carbon fiber.

It’s not strictly the same because there is no M340i yet. But you can use your imagination. The M550i vs. the M5 provide another basis for comparison. |

Thankfully everyone seems to be finally onboard with performance CUVs and we have a plethora of choices now.

The Audi Motortrend article was interesting but couldn't find the road test article that they refer to on the 2011 35i (or if they were even talking about a 2011). At the time I think it is safe to say that most "enthusiasts" and car magazines scoffed at the idea of performance SAVs so there wasn't as much information as there is today. To be fair to both vehicles, they were also much faster than Motortrend's testing. There's plenty of videos where they run 13's. Was the 3.0TFSI even offered in the US? I don't remember. Basically my response was to FSociety on how BMW releases something new and exciting and everyone follows. Arguably, the birth of performance SAVs in 2011 and whatever the X4 is today are just two examples. Here is a cool site that I like to refer to that you can compare vehicles worldwide with charts, graphs and stats galore. It is still a work in progress but it just so happens that the BMW/Audi figures have been recorded and not simulated. Make a chart and check it out. In almost all performance figures, the 35i/35d comes out on top until the SQ5/Macan comes to market in 2013/2014. http://www.automobile-catalog.com/ SAVs that I charted: 2013 Audi SQ5 3.0 TFSI (US version) 2012 Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI Quattro Tiptronic (EU only) 2014 Audi Q5 3.0T Quattro (US version) 2011 BMW X3 xDrive35i (US only) 2011 BMW X3 xDrive35d (EU only) I agree. Great to be an SAV enthusiast today.

So this was their initial test, Motor Trend was also very good in documenting the throttle lag issue during their long term test of the 28i. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/x...e28i-update-8/ I believe they must have retested the X3 at some point following the updates, but I can't find a review of it.

Either way, it's about time we're finally getting an X3M.

When I got my 2005 X3 3.0i Sport 6sp, there was nothing like it in the market. Better handling than anything that came after, but had other challenges (esthetic, interior quality etc).
That was to my mind the birth of the "performance CUV". |
