BMW X3 M COMPETITION.
Performance features.
Two models, unique performance: all drive train and chassis components underline the motorsport roots of BMW M. Complemented by the true X character, they ensure M typical driving pleasure on any terrain.
High-performance M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine.
The M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine features superior power delivery and silky-smooth running coupled with a sporty engine sound. With Double-VANOS, Valvetronic, High-Precision Injection and two turbochargers, it generates 353 kW (480 hp) – in the Competition model even 375 kW (510 hp).
M Carbon precision strut.
The M Carbon precision strut increases frontend rigidity and contributes to a greater steering precision and accuracy. The premium quality carbon fibre reinforced polymer component is extremely lightweight and creates a genuine motor sport atmosphere when the bonnet is up. In this way, the sporty potential is also expressed particularly well here.
M specific suspension.
The M specific suspension highlights the vehicle's great dynamic potential. In addition to the three driving modes COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+, the driver can also choose between three different Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) settings in order to adapt the level of stabilising support to suit their preferred style of driving.
M xDrive.
BMW M xDrive and Active M differential guarantee maximum traction and driving dynamics in both sporty use and everyday life. Thanks to the M specific technology, the vehicle can always be precisely directed and safely controlled on any surface and even when accelerating strongly out of tight bends.
8-speed M Steptronic transmission.
The 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic offers numerous shifting options: from extremely dynamic to particularly comfortable, and smooth to fuel-saving. The driver can shift manually using the gear lever or the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, or put the vehicle into automatic mode and let the transmission do the work.
M Servotronic.
In every driving situation, M Servotronic delivers the right steering power, by adjusting to suit the current driving speed. In addition, it delivers a direct and precise steering feel at any speed. The system is M specifically adjusted and offers three different settings that can be selected with the push of a button.
M compound brakes.
As a result of the use of different materials, the M Compound brake achieves not only outstanding deceleration values, but also high stability and a long service life, as well as a reduction in weight that has a positive effect on agility, dynamics and acceleration. The brake callipers in Blue metallic with M lettering mark the M specific high-performance brake system. Due to the specific design, temporary noises can occur occasionally after a long, low or extremely high load, which disappear again after a short time. In order to avoid functional noise, it is appropriate to load the brake at regular intervals with some stronger braking. With moisture on the brake discs, the brake system can be braked dry to avoid noise. The functional noises have no influence on the performance, operational safety and stability of the brake.
M Sport exhaust system.
The M Sport exhaust system delivers a dynamic sound that can be modified via the integrated exhaust valve mechanism. The SPORT and SPORT+ programmes, which can be selected via the Driving dynamics buttons, are accentuated by an even more intense engine sound, while the comfort-oriented programme prioritises more discreet engine acoustics.

- Exterior
- Interior
M kidney grille.
The striking M kidney grille in Black high-gloss with model designation dominates the dynamic M style design of the front end. The Black high-gloss double slats take a visual cue from the characteristic Double-spoke style of the M light alloy wheels. The M kidney grille makes a bold statement about the vehicle's sporty ambitions and hints at the immense power simply waiting to be unleashed.
“X3 M Competition” designation.
The black “X3 M Competition” designation on the rear is an indication of the vehicle's high driving dynamic potential.

It exemplifies the dynamic combination of technical perfection and breathtaking design that has been synonymous with M vehicles since day one.
M exterior mirrors.
The aerodynamically optimised M exterior mirrors are a significant part of the sporty and dynamic M design. Attached to the body by an indicated double-bridge design, they underscore the beautiful aesthetics of the vehicle and convey a sense of precision engineering down to the last detail. The additional LED indicators are fitted perfectly into a long, narrow groove.
M specific roof spoiler.
The M specific roof spoiler with its prominent shape ensures more downforce on the rear axle at higher speeds. At the same time, it lends the three-quarter rear view characteristic sportiness and promises highly dynamic driving experiences.
M Sport seats.
The multi-adjustable M Sport seats with bucket seat character and partly integrated headrest provide excellent lateral support for the driver and front passenger. In addition, the backrest width can be individually adjusted. Their special design with illuminated M logo highlights the vehicle's athletic capabilities. (The M seat belts shown above are expected to be available from 8/2019.)

Featuring a steering wheel rim in black leather with colour contrast stitching and contoured thumb rests, it feels great in the hand. The driver can also use the M Drive buttons to select the desired settings whilst driving.
M gear lever.
The switch for choosing the three Drivelogic shifting settings is next to the M logo on the upper side of the M gear lever. The P button for the parking lock is directly beneath them. In manual "S" mode, the driver can shift gears manually using the selector lever in typical M fashion; in "D" mode, shifting occurs automatically.
M specific instrument cluster.
The M specific instrument cluster features four displays – speedometer, rev counter incl. shift lights, fuel gauge and oil temperature – as well as a status indicator for the M Driving dynamics systems – steering, suspension, engine, Drivelogic and M xDrive. The Info Display can be individually adjusted and shows the exterior temperature and on-board computer functions, for example.
Start/Stop button.
The red Start/Stop button is located in the centre console and is used to start the engine without a key after the vehicle has been unlocked. It can also be used to stop the engine. The vehicle key is recognised automatically, without having to insert it.
Door sill finishers with Competition designation.
The driver and front passenger are welcomed by door sill finishers with the “X3 M Competition” designation as soon as they get in. The designation on the inserts in Black in the door sill finishers in the front on the left and right radiates quality and exclusivity.
M seat belts.
The M seat belts* with belt tensioner and belt force limiter have a finely woven-in accent in the typical M colours and emphasise the very high-quality and sporty ambience in the interior.
