1. 2024 BMW X3 M
- Base Price: $75,500
- MPG Combined: 17
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 473
- Torque: 457 lb-ft
- 0-60: 3.9 sec
- Weight: 4,610 lbs
- Length: 186.0 in
- Towing Capacity: 4,400 lbs
The X3 M gets to 60 mph half a second quicker than the X3 M40i, which uses a lesser version of BMW's superb turbo inline-6 engine. Is that half-second worth an extra $15k or so? We think not, but you could also argue that $15k is a bargain for the X3 M's sheer madness.
2. 2024 BMW X3 M Competition
- Base Price: $82,500
- MPG Combined: 17
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 503
- Torque: 479 lb-ft
- 0-60: 3.7 sec
- Weight: 4,610 lbs
- Length: 186.0 in
- Towing Capacity: 4,400 lbs
Add the Competition Package and you'll have a smallish SUV with 503 horsepower, which is something you don't see every day (unless perhaps you live in LA). For $7k, that almost seems like a good deal. If you're gonna spring for the X3 M, why stop at the base model?
