Selling the X3 and X4 in M costume didn't please everyone. But it did produce a ballistically-quick SUV.
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive. Soon after BMW’s 2,993cc S58 3.0 litre straight six popped up in the X3 M Comp it went into the 2021MY G80/81 M3 and M4.
As mentioned earlier the Comp’s official fuel consumption was 26mpg but owners driving in the approved manner have been reporting 20mpg with tyres wearing out after just 6,000 miles. One owner quoted 13.9mpg but admitted to warming it up for quite a while on cold days. There have been reports of problems with drive shafts and diffs on M3s and M4s but we didn’t see any mention of these in connection with X cars.
Owners who went down from the 21s to 20-inch wheels with 265/45 fronts and 275/45 rears reported a positive transformation in the car’s overall feel. £1,200 or thereabouts will get you a set of MSS springs, again well favoured by the X3 M community. Brakes were taken from the M760i and worked well enough as long as you didn’t overdo it on a track. Carbon ceramic brakes were deemed to be too expensive to put on a car at this price level and were never offered even as an option.
The big pano roof wasn’t standard in the UK. It was a great option, washing light through the whole cabin. The X3 M Comp was a two-row five-seater that would actually seat five, not four plus a circus performer. The sports seats were very comfortable, assisted by adjustable headrests and zizzed up by illuminating M panels. You could specify heating/ventilation for all the seats. The driving position was spot on.
’21-on refresh models had Live Cockpit Professional including Connected Drive with two 12.3in display screens offering, among many other things, the ‘M View’ with displays pinched from the M8. Harmon Kardon audio became standard. It was based on BMW’s Operating System 7 which incorporated remote software upgrades and the option of two Driving Assistant packages with 3D environment visualisation.
