2018 BMW X3 M40i – Video

Courtesy of French magazines, and interesting enough, BMW’s official website in Hong Kong, we get to see the new X3, along with its top model, the X3 M40i. As seen here, the new X3 will be available xLine, M Sport and Luxury Line trim variants. At the front end, the X3 features a “three-dimensional” massive kidney grille with sleek headlights ending just before the outer edge of the kidney and with an hexagonal design. The nose also sits more upright than the current model, while the lower bumper has been redesigned for a more aggressive look. In the back, the LED taillights also feature a 3D look while the sloping roof spoiler remind us of a coupeish SUV, more than the standard midsize truck.

The BMW X3 M40i is the top model with 360 horsepower and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft of torque) from a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 0 to 62 mph time is rated at 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. BMW will also offer an X3 xDrive20d, xDrive30d, xDrive20i and xDrive30i models.
