I have owned many BMW's but this car will blow your socks off! The engine is a totally re-designed BMW 3L straight 6 cyl. with twin turbos that has been de-stroked and produces 507hp. It comes equipped with engine oil cooler and transmission fluid cooler, adjustable shocks, exhaust, transmission, steering. All these features can be customized (tuned) by creating two separate programs that are implemented by using the red paddle shifters on the left and right of the steering wheel. The only way to appreciate this unique vehicle is to drive one. One thing I should mention. The car is very stiff. I de-tune the shocks but it doesn't help much. I think it is the sway bars. I took a look and they are massive.

The X3M competition in my opinion is the best option when wanting an M car in a harsh winter environment. I have loved every second of ownership and has had almost no issues during my time of ownership.

Ah what a vehicle (car) (suv) (sav)....whatever....it has lots of room and is practical, well like, a Suv. True story; i drove my friends porsche 911 4S and the he got a 911 Turbo S, i love both, the turbo S is not worth 200k more than the 4s at all, 443hp vs 640hp, yes but anyway, I would have bought the 911 4s for 180k, but did not want to spend that much money on a second car, so I bought 1 car that genuinely for me does everything I want and need. It's the x3m. You don't need the competition model it's only 30hp more, and when your hp is in and around 500 hp, 30 hp more or less is a moot point to discuss let alone feel. 0.01 to 60mph is not much unless you make your living racing cars, then ok....but the the case for this vehicle. Driving the porsche was very exciting and exhilarating and you felt special driving it.....I honestly have the exact same feeling driving this car and I can do it with a washing machine in the back which is just nuts if you think about it. It is fast as F%$^! I mean really porsche fast, actually this car is faster than the 9*11 4s, but let's give the credit to the turbo s at 300k plus to be faster, but not by much.......not by much......i've gone to 270kmh no problem and feels stable like the porsche, I only notice the wind noise due to height at about 240kmh, and get to 200kmh in seconds, really fast. might tune mine to 600hp, we'll see. love it and covers all the bases and then some......amazing vehicle.......really does it all so well....and 2/3 cheaper than a 911 and as much fun, so was a win win for me.

I’ve owned a 2020 X.3 M competition the first couple months it was released I love absolutely everything about the car. It’s a pure rocketship as for a ride harshness, some people complain about, a lot changed for the better once I went to all season tires and passed the 5000 mile mark.I guess it needs a little time to break in. The Conti tires that sometimes come with the car from the dealer are like driving on hockey pucks basically meant for Summer driving on a track. They handle well but the ride quality is very harsh. That’s why you need to change to all season to enjoy this car the most the interior the quality is top notch in The Drive quality of this car makes it so much fun to drive! Always look forward to having to take long trips and to an excuse to drive this car so much fun
