The BMW X3 M Competition is seriously fast — Car and Driver Test (0-60 3.3 sec!)

SWOT1 · 11-13-2019, 12:07 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

"In C&D’s new instrumented testing, the BMW X3 M Competition rocketed from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. That’s seriously fast and almost a full second faster than BMW claims. So that makes it among the fastest SUVs on the market, which is very impressive."

3.3s 0-60
11.6s 1/4 mile

LOVE these numbers!!

The numbers are absolutely lovely, but I had more fun reading the toxic comments of the jealous Chevy Cruze drivers.

They need to update this since it shows the best of the best.

Kinda scary how fast the G80 could be...

With a perfect launch, a 2.9-3.0s 0-60 is conceivable! (Yeah, the new M3/4C will be mighty formidable! ... and makes my E93 a god damn turtle.)

Don't forget those 3.3 times include a 1 foot rollout. Which decreased the 0-60 time by 2-3 tenths. These are 3.5-3.6 sec 0-60 cars.

Just to put this into perspective if these are running 3.3s with a 1 foot rollout my Model 3 Performance is running 2.9s to 60 with a rollout.

Someone needs to run one of these against a GLC63 S or a TrackHawk.

If Tesla 3 Performance had a Sport Exhaust, a dashboard, and didn't look like my son's plastic toy car... it would be the perfect car for me.

Yes please...I am still waiting.

Nothing is touching a Tesla in a 0-60 but after 130 mph or so...a good petro will eat it up.

Its always nice to have a Tesla in conjunction with an ICE performance car. I will say this, I have been driving the X3M the past three days and every time I wish I was driving in the Tesla. On the street it's just simply more fun to drive.

We just got a software update with one pedal driving and our second 5% power increase (10% power increase in the last year). This thing is just stupid fast, handles great and sounds pretty damn cool when the electric motors "whir" like a spaceship. Makes me giggle like a school girl each and every time

I do enjoy the X3M, though. As shifting, traditional engine sounds are still fun for me.

If Model 3 didn't look exactly like the base car, it might actually be exciting to look at.

Back to the topic at hand...

Most all magazine quoted 0 to 60 times are with rollout. Are you basing that tesla number off a magazine or from your own personal draggy experience? Separate question how many times in a row can you actually do that before the battery depletes too much and the numbers fall?

Does amplifying zero sound result in sound or is this a case of zero times two is still zero?

My 3.21 (3.03 W/1ft) and 3.25 (3.04 W/1ft) were done back to back within seconds of one another, using Dragy. Done at 85-86% SOC.

I have seen people get into the high 2's (2.9s) with a 1 foot rollout.

You can do it all day. From 75-95% SOC the power is identical. It starts to fall off "hard" once you get down to 25% SOC...3.6s (W/OUT rollout).

After a full day of driving starting from 90% SOC, I get down to maybe 70-75%. Just mash the pedal at any moment and pull 3.2s. Damn near addicting.

Encouraging and enticing at the same time..

With another 5% power available via the latest update, that now drops to 3 sec, or 2.9 give or take.

I cant wait for Model Y to come out, and furthermore BMW's upcoming iX3.

Every model 3 Tesla front end reminds me of the ugly face people in the Eye of the Beholder episode of Twilight Zone:

More confirmation that I made a great choice with this vehicle and especially for the amazing price point (after the crazy discount)!
