X3M Comp...really??

Burr001 · 05-04-2022, 04:55 PM

does x3m comp come with gray rear bumper and non blade side mirrors>?

It does not

Up-badged to make it seem like a X3 MC. Looks like exhaust is just a 28i or 30i. 50 bucks to buy this badge from eBay. I’m fairly confident it’s NOT an X3 MC but just a poser. I don’t have an issue with this as long as he does not try to sell in as an MC. Hit the gas and everyone will know 😁

Also, Side mirrors are not M..

I really don't understand why people do this. Anyone who knows even a little about these vehicles will know this isn't an "M".

Agree. Anyone who knows an X3 MC will no right away. The general public has no clue so I don’t get this either. When I had a 21 X3 Sdrive30i my wife’s Bolt got to 60 faster then the

You guys are totally wrong, he even has an M License plate cover!

Lol jk. This will have a different rear bumper as well as smaller wheels and tires. If this guy truly wanted to make it look correct he would need everything people have listed as well as the other M Comp badge near the shifter.

I could be wrong, but I think the body panels on the side are different too as the M Comp has bigger wheels and tires and it flares out a bit more.

The exhaust always gives it away...

spta97 · 05-05-2022, 06:26 AM

That's not an X3M, this is an X3M!

I believe this was one of the early prototypes as you can see the ///M badge fading.

BMW partnered with IND to paint the badges in newer models according to internet research

Amazing. 👎🏻🤮

I just don't get it.

Marmugmotleocay · 05-05-2022, 07:13 AM

Maybe the car identifies as a X3MC. It is a New York plate after all.

Haha, I know. Just busting chops.

I'm not on other car forums, but is this a thing with other manufacturers too? Are people putting RS badges on their A3, AMG badges on an E 350, etc?

Good question, I've never really paid attention to other manufacturers and would have no idea if it's an AMG or not. Same with Audi's. I will say that the Audi S5 and RS5 look pretty similar, but again, I wouldn't know for certain.

See it all the time, I saw an old Audi TT the other day with an "SVR" badge on it!!!!!!! Look on Insta..."M badge w@nkers", so many of them.

Murdered out car round Edinburgh with the M3 comp badge, look at the DVLA website and its a 320 lol

Haha, touché!

You cannot really blame someone for up-badging their car. After all, it does add 50 more horsepower and increases the top speed. If only BMWs would have Honda's VTEC available...

Yes, we have a very liberal crowd here.

My X3MC tries to identify as a Prius at the pump but it’s not working…

LloydP · 05-05-2022, 02:25 PM

I think it looks great. Speaking of good looking M cars- check out my new M car. Its pretty fast, as you can probably tell.

Mike02z · 05-05-2022, 03:35 PM

Not quite an M car but actually saw this POS when I lived in PA. The best is he took 4 spots because god knows he does not want it scratched….Yes, the stripes are hand painted duct tape!

I rebadged an Plymouth Laser as a Turbo, the insurance adjuster believed it when my wife totaled it out.

I have seen people put RS badges on A3, and people put AMG badges on regular Mercedes. People want their cars to be what it isn't.

I don't get it myself either. I can understand putting an STi wing on a regular WRX though... Big wings make everything better!
