最近谍照记者拍到了宝马X3M最新照片。虽然车身进行了伪装，但仍可以看到M版专属空力套装，同时侧面和前脸底部中间不难看到进气口。车尾可见四排气尾管从底部伸出，后脸进行了轻度改款。车顶同样采用了造型不同的扰流器。目前，X3M的信息知道得还很少。但已经知道该车的悬挂高度略微调低以提升道路行驶灵活性，由于车速增加，因此将配备更大尺寸刹车盘。同时，该车搭载的3.0升六缸双涡轮增压引擎动力也将进一步提升，功率将超过335千瓦/450马力。而标准版X3不仅将提供更多高科技设备，而且更具驾驶乐趣。当然，新车的价格将会更高，目前一辆采用全部选装件的X3价格已经接近7万美元，虽然现在不知道M版价格，但该车将于年底前发布，它的价格细节很快就会揭晓了。

 

BMW X3 M Spied With Just A Hint Of Camo Front And Rear

Here’s the latest look at BMW’s amped-up version of its X3 SUV, giving us a pretty good view of the latest ‘bahn burner from Munich. M-specific aero tweaks are still somewhat obscured by the swirl-wrap camo, but it’s certainly not hard to see the redesigned air intakes on the side and middle of the lower fascia. It’s also not hard to spot the telltale quad exhaust tips out the back, nestled a slightly resculptured rear fascia. The M edition could have a different roof spoiler as well.

 

What else do we know about this pseudo-secret performance SUV? We haven’t seen it out-and-about that much, so information is still a bit slim. We know it will sit a bit lower with a suspension tuned for making the most out of on-road action, and naturally it’ll wear larger brakes to handle the extra speed. Speaking of which, we’re pretty confident the X3’s enhanced power will come from the familiar 3.0-liter biturbo six, tuned to make upwards of 450 horsepower (335 kilowatts) that will of course go to all four wheels.

 

We obviously haven’t sampled an X3 M, but we did have a lengthy stay with the standard X3. In pedestrian guise we found it to be chock full of the tech we’ve come to love and reasonably welcoming in the fun-to-drive department, but not necessarily something to set the streets ablaze. With that in mind, we suspect a proper M makeover could turn the X3 into a serious performance SUV contender.

 

Unfortunately, it likely won’t come without a healthy price bump. A fully-optioned X3 already breaches $70,000, which is not an insignificant figure for a full-size people mover, never mind one officially classified as a compact. We don’t know how much the M edition will ultimately cost, but with a full reveal expected before the end of the year, we’ll soon see whether or not the go-fast goodies are worth it.
