Used 2020 BMW X3 M SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 BMW X3 M is a high-performance version of the BMW X3 crossover. Two versions are available: the standard X3 M and the even more potent X3 M Competition. Both use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine that powers all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It develops 473 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque in the X3 M. The Competition bumps output to 503 hp, while torque remains the same.
Which X3 M trim does Edmunds recommend?
If you're upgrading from the standard X3 to the X3 M, it might be tempting to turn the dial up to 11 and opt for the X3 M Competition. But this SUV already has a pretty harsh ride quality and opting for the Competition just makes it worse. We think the setup is a little too hardcore for most buyers. Stick with the standard X3 M instead.
