BMW are working on expanding their current lineup,
and one of the models that's poised to hit showrooms, probably next year, is
the X3 M.
Scooped while lapping the Nurburgring, the
top-of-the-line version of the new generation premium compact SUV will take on
rivals such as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 which, in top in 'S' guise, produces as
much as 510 PS and 700 Nm of torque.
The X3 M will reportedly be powered new twin-turbo
3.0-liter inline-six unit, codenamed S58, and should put out more than 450
horses, according to recent sources. The same engine is also believed to be
adopted by the next generation M3 and M4, although with higher outputs.
The new BMW X3 M has yet
to reveal its upgraded body kit, but expect wider front and rear bumpers, and
large wheels, in addition to the tweaked chassis with stiffer suspension
settings and bigger brakes over the regular models.
