I like what I'm hearing. The introduction of the M40i models not give the M models room to uncompromising.

Those who value comfort will have no reason to moan about firm ride on M models - an M40i will cater nicely for them.

 

[DocM]

I'd like one X3M in black please!

Totally unnecessary, but why doesn’t BMW offer the carbon fibre roof at least as an option. One can argue that high performance SUV are already unnecessary,so why not go crazy.

And the Competion models for those "still" not satisfied with their performance.

The GLC63S and particularly Stelvio
Quadrifoglio are fantastic performance Cars and two of the best performance SUVs out there I do wonder if BMW will be able to match or beat them with the X3/4M.

They will. Beat them, that is.

 

[hovabongZA]

They will. Beat them, that is.

I now agree after watching the video.

Because anyone shorter than 6 foot 2 will be unable to see that an X3 or X5 has a carbon fiber roof.

I now agree after watching the video.

I haven't even watched it yet

Available around the same model year MY2020? Any scoop on CS model on this? LCI-1, LCI-2, CP, CS, etc.

 

[SCOTT27]

I don't think they would do the CS etc on an X model.
It does not sound completely suitable or matchable.
Competition yes so they can add that extra edge but without completely going over the top.

BMW X3 M And X4 M Prototypes Unveiled With New Straight-Six Engine

Warm-up on the Nürburgring: First official presentation of the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M.

BMW M GmbH extends its range of four-wheel drive high-performance models – Camouflaged prototypes to be presented at a driving event during the supporting programme of the DTM races.

Munich. The BMW M GmbH is extending its range of high performance models in the segment of Sports Activity Vehicles (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupes (SAC). The high-performance character so typical of BMW automobiles will be passed on to two further BMW X models, the series development of which has already been kicked off. During the DTM racing weekend at the Nürburgring (7 – 9 September 2018), prototypes of the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M will be test driven on the circuit. Thus, the camouflaged pre-series vehicles will be making their first public appearance precisely where the dynamic driving qualities of the BMW X3 M and BMW X4 M will reach their final level of maturity. The Nürburgring is the traditional setting for the completion of the ultimate testing and tuning programme for the specific overall M package comprising drive system, suspension and aerodynamics.

With large air intakes at the front, specific M features for optimised aerodynamics and an exhaust system with four tailpipes integrated into the rear apron, the vehicles already bear the characteristics of a BMW M model at an early stage of their development phase. The technological highlight of the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M is a newly developed straight six-cylinder engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving characteristics.

Part of the development process is the specific tuning of the M xDrive technology introduced for the first time in the new BMW M5. This technology is deployed in the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M to ensure constant supreme and performance-oriented transfer of engine power to all four wheels. The M-specific further development of the intelligent four-wheel drive system guarantees maximum traction and loss-free distribution of drive torque for achieving extremely dynamic handling characteristics. In interaction with the active M rear axle differential, cornering dynamics, agility and precision in the driving behaviour of the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M are lifted to a level unrivalled within the competitive environment.

“With their M specific performance characteristics, the BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M will set benchmarks in terms of dynamics in their respective vehicle segment,” says Frank van Meel, President BMW M GmbH.

With the development of its latest model innovations, the BMW M GmbH is once again breaking into an additional segment. The BMW X3 M and the BMW X4 M render it possible for the first time to experience superior performance, agility and precision also in a Sports Activity Vehicle and a Sports Activity Coupe of the premium mid-range class. Thus, the BMW M GmbH is consistently continuing its successful strategy of dynamic growth with new and particularly attractive vehicle concepts.

X3M for me.

Every time when we looked at the final stage camouflage BMW models, it looked as good as launch model. It shows all the character lines, styling, surface, lights, etc, yet with a bit of underlying mystery (anticipation). Wonder if BMW should offer a camouflage wrap (bikini) option for BTO, I bet it gets more attention on the road than individual color option.

 

[hovabongZA]

Its going to be a looker! Imagine if M were silly an gave it a 2WD option like the M5.

 

[hovabongZA]

X3 in its natural habitat.

 

[klier]

WOW wtf I have cows, you have rhinos

That's not it's natural habitat though, that's vacation time for the X3! It's natural habitat is some boring suburb

What an epic photo, even pretty dangerous. Those beasts wreck the car as if it's a toy if they feel like doing so.

 

[SCOTT27]

Peeling away the camouflage reveals...
