宝马已经发布了第三代X3，目前车厂正在开发其高性能版本。最近谍照记者拍到了X3M，该车自从去年首次被发现，最近记者在纽伯格林赛道再次拍到了这款车。这款车将搭载3.0T双涡轮增压直列六缸引擎，最大输出功率为335千瓦/450马力并搭配四轮驱动。这款车还将提供Competition套装。当宝马发布2019款M5Competition版本时就宣布，未来高性能版本都将提供Competition套装，因此X3M增加Competition版本也是顺理成章的。据传该车功率达到354千瓦/475马力，搭配经过性能调校的全驱系统。车辆内部还将配备更硬悬挂，可调减震，并对牵引力和稳定控制系统进行改进，同时配备更大刹车盘。为提升其外观侵略性，将配备20英寸黑色轮圈。外观方面，从谍照来看，新车增加了一些运动套件。包括保险杠中间和两侧通风口尺寸进一步增加以及尺寸更大的刹车制动卡钳，看起来更加激进。尾部，新车采用了双边共四出排气布局。车辆内装预计与现行版X3一样，并增加包括M排挡杆在内的M版元素。X3M将于年底前上市，不过Competition版本则有可能于明年发布。
BMW X3 M Spied Being Pushed Hard At The Track
Now that we have a third-generation BMW X3, the German automaker is looking to turn its new crossover into a performance machine. Spy photos of the X3 M aren’t new. We first saw hints of the X3 M late last year. Today, we now have another video of the X3 M at the Nürburgring.
Out of the box, the X3 M should sport a biturbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine maing upward of 450 horsepower (335 kilowatts). Power will hit all four wheels. However, there also appears to be a Competition Package in the works. When BMW introduced the 2019 BMW M5 Competition, it also announced its most potent standalone vehicles would wear the Competition nameplate, so an X3 M Competition makes sense.
The X3 M Competition is rumored to increase horsepower to 475 (354 kW), pumping power through a performance-tuned all-wheel-drive system similar to what’s found in the latest M5. Rumors suggest it will have a stiffer suspension, adjustable dampers, tweaks to the traction and stability control, and come with larger brakes. Twenty-inch rims and black trim will accentuate the more hardcore version, so it stands out from other X3 M models.
Photos and video show the X3 M will have a revised front fascia with redesigned air intakes on the side and middle part of the fascia. At the rear, quad exhaust tips give away the X3 M’s performance credentials. Inside, it should look much like the current X3 with some notable M-specific touches, like the M shifter.
The X3 M should arrive before the end of the year. However, any sort of Competition Package wouldn’t likely come until sometime after the X3 M’s official launch – probably sometime in early 2019.
