BMW X3M Competition (F97) in Alpine White - Walkaround Video
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com This one had Alpine White exterior color with Ivory White Extended Merino leather interior. My thoughts - it looks very similar to the X3 M40i from the outside. For some reason the X5M stands out right away from regular X5. The rear spoiler and quad exhaust are the only significant differences. Interior - Not a big fan of the X3 interior in general. The X3M does add very nice M seats and other touches like the new M shifter. Not a fan of the aluminum trim or the Red M1/M2 buttons (looks tacky to me) - otherwise not much different than X3 M40i.

I had much higher expectations for the car, how unfortunate. Hopefully they do something a little more extravagant with the LCI.

I have to say this is the worst implementation of an M car since when an M car looks exactly the same like a non real M and before you hit back, I'm a Bimmer fan boy who is on his 7th or 8th car that being said I refuse to cross shop any other make the decision is now easy my next ride is an M340i

I like the interior. Not gonna lie and say it's best ever but looks like an M5 interior especially with the m1 and m2 buttons and the shifter and surround. I'm guessing BMW didn't want to out do M5 or maybe I'm just not spoiled enough since I drive 15 F80 on a daily basis. So compared to that all newer interior everything looks much better to me!

I just don't get this M vs M40 comparison. Cars are different period imho. I'd challenge all F10 M5 and F80 guys to jump into M550 and M340 next. No enthusiast is going to do that. I can also argue M550 is the same looking and all as F90 but we all know this is false. Same goes here. |

Nothing really stands out vs the X3 M40i except the badges... BMW could be a little more aggressive and try to make it more distinct vs the regular X3.

I drove off thinking.. what if I had been in an X3M... then realized... heck.. how many lay people really even can tell the difference between an E84 X1 and an X3M . Quote:
Do I need AWD ? no.. I specifically bought Sdrive28 because I don't. Do I need 21" wheels - no.. not with 265s on them.... Do I need to do zero to 60 in 4.1 seconds (vs 6.1 now) in an SAV? ..not really. true story. The X3 M comp in BSM with the gold two tone seats is so Badassssssssss....
