Review 

The 2021 BMW X3 M is a high-performance model of the BMW X3 small SUV. The regular X3 M and the even more powerful X3 M Competition are both available. The BMW X3 M is a beefed-up variant of the standard X3, with more power, high-performance components, like front air conditioning, heated-seatback heated front seats, SiriusXM AM/FM/HD/Satellite, seek-scan radio, rear air conditioning, with separate powers, driver and front passenger heated-cushion, heated mirrors, windshield wipers – rain-sensing, Vernasca leather seat trim, driver and passenger lumbar support, navigation system, and Park Distance Control Parking assist and exclusivity than the standard model. 

A turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine produces 473 horsepower under the hood of the X3 M. Is it not enough? Choose the X3 M Competition, which boasts 503 horsepower. It also has a few performance upgrades, such as thicker suspension stabilizer bars and an improved exhaust system.

BMW continues to prioritize luxury. The X3 M, like the regular X3, has a comfortable and functional interior. It has many basic features, but you can also incorporate even more high-end features that come in bundles or as stand-alone options. The infotainment system of the BMW X3 M 2021 is identical to that of the regular X3. A high-quality Harman Kardon audio system and BMW’s excellent voice recognition system are included in the X3 M. Optional adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability is still available.

2021 BMW X3 M Interior

The interior of the 2021 BMW X3 M is unquestionably attractive. The driver’s view behind the steering wheel is dominated by a new 12.3-inch driver data monitor, which is beautifully formed and feels good in the hands, and has two bright red M1 and M2 buttons for pre-programmed driver modes.

On sunny days, the high-gloss black plastic around the shift lever creates an unnecessary glare. Also, there are far too many buttons that are flush with the wall. Because of their identical shape and size, it’s challenging to find the right one when driving. Aside from that, everything you’d expect from an X3 is here, including a roomy interior for all passengers, excellent forward and side visibility, and a comfortable driving position.

The X3’s frontal collision prevention system (which applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to prevent or mitigate a collision) gave us a few false alarms, resulting in unnecessary braking. Behind the back seats, there’s still 28.7 cubic feet of room. When you fold them down, you’ll have 62.7 cubic feet of space. That’s more than rivals like the Porsche Macan Turbo, Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63, and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio offers.
