BMW X3 M COMPETITION AND BMW X3 M.
Product highlights.
Markus Flasch, President BMW M GmbH.The BMW X3 M Competition allies the spirit of adventure of the BMW X3 with the exclusive high-performance ambitions of BMW M.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE M TWINPOWER TURBO 6-CYLINDER PETROL ENGINE.
INTAKE AIR DUCTING.
INTAKE AIR DUCTING.
The intake air ducting for the M TwinPower Turbo engine has been optimised for minimum pressure loss and ultra-low flow resistance. That leads to even better response characteristics and and high efficiency.
INDIRECT INTERCOOLING.
INDIRECT INTERCOOLING.
Indirect intercooling is an important component of the performance-optimised cooling system. Along with components such as the engine and transmission cooling system, intercooling guarantees optimum power delivery during supercharged operation. This keeps the engine unreservedly fit for the racetrack and also supremely dynamic, free-revving and durable.
CRANKSHAFT DRIVE AND FORGED PISTONS.
CRANKSHAFT DRIVE AND FORGED PISTONS.
The weight-optimised crankshaft drive permits maximum and stable power delivery on the racetrack – up to the highest engine speeds. Contributing to this are similarly weight-optimised and high-strength components such as the crankshaft and forged pistons.
HIGH-PRESSURE INJECTION.
HIGH-PRESSURE INJECTION.
For maximum power output and optimized combustion of the air-fuel ratio, the engine’s injection pressure is a high 350 bar. The high pressure improves fuel atomisation and mixture preparation, thus optimising fuel consumption and emissions. At the same, fuel film formation on the cylinder walls decreases and injection times fall.
M TWINPOWER TURBO TECHNOLOGY.
M TWINPOWER TURBO TECHNOLOGY.
The high-performance engine’s two exhaust turbochargers are key to its effectiveness. They increase the intake pressure and consequently the engine’s output. In tandem with the flow-optimized boost pressure control and indirect intercooling, the result is a swift, dynamic response and high torque even at low revs.
OIL SUPPLY.
OIL SUPPLY.
The engine’s oil supply, too, is determined by the high-performance principle. Optimised for transverse dynamics, the oil sump with windage tray and active suction equips the car for racetrack notably increased longitudinal and transverse dynamics of up to 1.4 g. For optimum dynamics, the lubrication is governed fully variably by a map-controlled pump. At the same time fuel consumption and CO2 emissions decrease.
503 HP.
Equipped with two turbochargers, high-pressure injection and Valvetronic, the M TwinPower Turbo 3-litre high-rev engine of the BMW X3 M Competition is thoroughly primed for high-performance. The performance figures tell their own story: 503 hp, 442 lb-ft of torque and 4.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.
BMW X3 M COMPETITION.
Design highlights.
The design of the BMW X3 M Competition is a powerful statement. From the authoritative front end with its powerful air intakes, via the distinctively horizontal shoulder line, right up to the striking rear apron with diffusor in honeycomb look, athletic proportions and M design elements declare the performance potential of the BMW X3 M Competition at first sight.
BMW X3 M40i.
Product highlights.
BMW X3 M40i.
Design highlights.
A design that radiates sheer dynamism: at the front and rear ends and inside, too, exclusive design elements and athletic proportions refer to the sporty ambitions of the BMW X3 M40i.
