Typical of M cars from the BMW brand, the BMW X3 M40i xDrive will also be a sporty alternative to the standard X3 SUV. The vehicle will come with plenty of ‘M’ highlights on the outside and inside to give it a sporty touch. The biggest highlight however would be the M40i, 3.0L engine which will be coupled with other high-spec hardware such as adaptive M suspension, M sport differential, M sport brakes and the xDrive all-wheel-drive. Customers can also opt for special M alloy wheels for the BMW X3 M40i xDrive. The sporty body kit with aggressive bumpers, larger vents, new wheels, dual exhaust outlets, M ORVMs, new interior upholstery, etc. will help the BMW X3 M40i xDrive stand out.
The BMW X3 M40i xDrive with the 3.0L, 6-cylinder, turbocharged gasoline motor would produce 355 BHP of power and 500 Nm of torque paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. This sporty SUV can sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 4.9 seconds with a top speed limited to 250 kmph.
This new sporty BMW X3 M40i xDrive is expected to arrive on our shores via the CBU route. So if you are willing to buy one, be ready for a premium price tag.
