Bargain Super SUV!
5 out of 5 starsJohn, 06/22/2020
2020 BMW X3 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
My last car was an Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio and was fun and super fast. I traded it for this practical SUV that is just as fast in a straight line and handles turns better than most sport cars. It can haul stuff and I even go camping in this thing. Almost super car speed for a reasonable price! Out performs G Wagon for a fraction of the price and way more fun as a daily driver. … Very nimble and has a great exhaust! Not quite the track animal the Alfa is but much more practical. Stick with the M over the M Competition for a little softer ride.
2020 BMW X3 M COMPETITION IS A PERFECT MONSTER
5 out of 5 starsLord Todd L. , 07/25/2020
2020 BMW X3 M Competition 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I'm a life long Porsche guy and was ready for a change for a daily driver. I'm very brand loyal and had a Cayenne Turbo S that I loved but before getting a new one I wanted to see what else was out there to compare as I like performance. I looked at many options and let me say the x3M competition is scary fast and mind blowing. The technology it so impressive and then driving it I was … sold its truly unreal the performance of this thing! DO yourself a favor dont think about it and just buy one!
A surprisingly good value

2020 BMW X3 M Competition 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
If you need an SUV for whatever reason, the X3M is a good compromise is you are used to sports cars/sedans. Its practical, good visibility and unlike to many cars today (I am looking at you 992 911) it has real character and is fun even when obeying traffic laws. I have to say its an impressive car for the money that is practical and a hoot to drive!
Update 3/10/22: We still enjoy … the car and fits our current needs. Fuel economy is averaging a little less than 19 MPG, that and expected tire life are the really 2 biggest demerits and worth it if driven the way it’s intended. A hardcore sports SUV that is comfortable.
Just plain awesome, practical too!

2020 BMW X3 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
So much fun to drive and you really get a lot for the price! In addition, there is plenty of space in the rear and even more with the seats dropped.
I have a car seat installed in mine and I can still fit three across the rear seat. Would buy this car again. The only minor complaint I have is that comfort suspension mode is still really stiff. But at the same time economy engine mode … is still really quick. Engineers probably had to stiffen it all up to keep it from rolling when the throttle opens. Which, by the way, it hangs on the road like a high end sports car which is a really strange feeling in an SUV. Awesome vehicle!
