After the launch of Fourth generation (G45) BMW X3 In June this year, the German automaker is now introducing the official M Performance Parts range for its Sports Utility Vehicles (SAVs).
Starting with the exterior, the latest X3 can be equipped with a front splitter for the first time, which BMW says is perfectly matched to the M Sport package. The company also adds that the three-part splitter, finished in high-gloss black, gives the SAV “a completely distinctive appearance” when combined with the M Performance front grille trim painted in the same color.
Moving on, the catalogue also includes M Performance side decals in Frozen Black, a carbon fuel tank cap (with polished aluminium lettering), carbon mirror caps and even a roof antenna cover. The latter is made from aramid-reinforced plastic, which the company says is very similar to carbon fibre, but has better electromagnetic permeability so connectivity is not affected.
The material is also used for the rear diffuser, although buyers can also option it in gloss black polyurethane, with both versions being paired with a gloss black rear bumper trim. The most striking addition is the polyurethane roof edge spoiler that can be painted in body colour instead of the default gloss black.
Other items available include carbon exhaust tips specific to the M50 xDrive variant, which can be had with black badging. The list also includes 20- and 22-inch light alloy wheels in a two-tone Jetblack matte finish with a Y-spoke design, carbon or aluminium door sills, stainless steel pedal covers, M Performance floor mats, a black anodised aluminium locking button and a branded key fob.
