Bmw x3m

I added my name to the list today for a new X3M competition (503 hp). Can’t wait! I will be turning my F80 M3 in off lease and driving off with the X3M!

Yeah. That’s a sexy beast.

Great size. Good utility. It’s a great set up.

Nice! That is a super cool ride. Think I am going similar direction next car but MB GLC 63. Crazy a "family" SUV can do 0-60 in sub 4 seconds.

Yes but the 36 of us would be the most vocal brand advocates out there... Might be worth it!

X3s are surprisingly nimble and fun to drive. I hope the X3/4Ms can hold a candle to the GLC 63s.

Sexy little beast.

GLC 63 is on another level.

Except for some absurd reason MB won't bring the GLC 63 "S" model suv to the states. So no-go for me as the regular model isn't on another level in my opinion.

The difference between an S and a non S is a tune.

Congrats! I actually had an X3 loaner recently when my 540xi M sport package was in for service and really liked it. I'm thinking about an X3M next.

And the interior, the e-diff, brakes, wheel options, a race mode for launch control and the tranny, and a couple other things I can't remember right now since I stopped caring.
A tune will only get you horsepower, the other things cannot be attained by a tune.

No, that's dead. I don't believe any new M car will have a dual clutch. The M5 ditched it and the new M3/4s with this same engine will likely get the M5 transmission just like the previous gen.

No problem, I think it's a huge mistake by MB, goes it's they're way to promote the coupe suv sportiness. For me aesthetically, it just doesn't look as good as suv.

I didn’t know that the standard 63 lacked Race Mode. That sucks.

503 hp! Nice! I bet it's actually higher that stated.

Congrats! Can't wait for the pics!
