Dahler went on to treat the third-gen X3. On the visual front, this menacing-looking G01 X3 is rocking new
lightweight forged alloy wheels, ‘Competition Line’ badges and a lowered
suspension, which makes for a look befitting the sporty M40i.
In stock form, this version of the X3 puts down
360 PS and 500 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate to 100
km/h in just 4.8 seconds from a standstill. Thanks to Dahler, the car
now makes 420 PS and 630 Nm of torque, which most
certainly aid it with straight line acceleration, although no official figures
have been published yet.
If we were to make a calculated guess, we’d say that
it might dip somewhere around 4.5 seconds or less. Mind you, that X5 M
territory, as the flagship M-powered SUV can hit 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. It packs 575 PS and 750 Nm of torque, but it also weighs
roughly 465 kg more than the X3 M40i.
Other mods include the custom stainless steel
exhaust system with four pipes, custom mirror casings and blacked-out trim in
various places like the grille surround.
The tuner says that they can also modify several
other versions of the all-new X3, and not just the M40i flagship. In fact, they
claim to have tuning packages for almost all petrol and diesel models, but
haven’t revealed any details just yet.
