2020 BMW X3 M Competition SUV Introduce https://youtu.be/Jp5j4pxd_DI
That brings us to the all-new 2020 BMW X3 and X4 M and M Competition, slated to arrive in dealerships this summer. “Great! More performance crossovers”, you eye-roll. While your dismissal may be justifiable, sales are sales and the crossover is still king. But this crossover isn’t just posing – because there’s a lot more here than just stickers and fake vents.
Okay, maybe one fake air vent. But only one! It’s behind the front wheel arches and could very well be just for badging purposes. Everything else vent related is about increasing air flow into the new 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which features two turbochargers.
The signature kidney grille, lower fascia, and fog light assembly are genuine open-air features. A track-tested cooling system also keeps the engine temperatures stable while maintaining performance thanks to several radiators, an additional oil cooler, and separate transmission oil cooler.
Exploding all this air in the 3.0-liter straight-six nets 503 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque for M Competition models. Getting to 60 mph takes 4.0 seconds. As for the standard X3/X4 M, power drops horsepower to 473 and slows acceleration time by 0.1 seconds. And if you’re wondering, the engine shared by the X3 and X4 M/Competition is 90 percent different from what’s currently in the M3 and M4. So there.
