Following the debut of a box-fresh (or updated) BMW, especially those of the performance variety, such as the new-generation M5, the German marque, sometimes rather quickly, reveals an array of M Performance parts for the newly unveiled model. In July 2024, the latter came in the shape of the aforementioned performance saloon. Now, the Bavarian brand has whipped the wraps off its latest M Performance parts package; this time handing the new X3 a variety of “sportier”-looking design elements.

So, what components can be had with the new M Performance parts pack? Well, for starters, a three-part M Performance front splitter (a first for the X3), which is finished in high-gloss black. There are also a M Performance rear diffuser and bumper, M Performance tailpipe trim, a roof-mounted rear spoiler, and M Carbon exterior mirrors. M Performance side decals is also available. In addition, the kit includes the option of 22-inch light-alloy wheels, or 20-inch items finished in a Jet Black matte hue. However, the M Performance bits aren’t exclusive to the exterior. M Performance interior elements include aluminium door sill trim, stainless steel pedals, and floor mats.

As a reminder, the four-strong fourth-generation X3 line-up is available with the choice of two turbopetrol engines, a single turbodiesel option, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the latter of which comprises a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbopetrol that is coupled with an electric motor. Combined the electrified internal combustion unit produces 220 kW and 450 N.m of torque. The petrol-only engines include a 153 kW/330 N.m 2.0-litre four-pot and 3.0-litre inline-six of the pinnacle (until a new X3 M arrives, that is) X3 M50 xDrive (pictured here), which churns out 293 kW and 580 N.m. The 2.0-litre oil-burner produces 145 kW and 400 N.m.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
