An SUV is great, especially if you have a family or friends to haul around. It's not any different compared to a sedan mainly, but it has more space, which translates to more versatility and practicality. SUVs are also known to be more luxurious, but in the 2021 BMW X3 Competition, you'll notice a familiar interior layout and tone, like in a BMW M3, if you've experienced one firsthand. The best part is that it's not only the interior that is familiar. The X3 Competition is basically an upscaled M3 Competition, so it adds more than excitement to the drive. It's fast, looks great, and feels excellent to drive without compromising what an SUV is built to do. But before we get to how many people you can fit inside the cabin or how many bags you can fit in the trunk, let's take a look at the 2021 BMW X3 M Competition's power and performance numbers.
Like the 2021 M3 Comp, the 2021 BMW X3 M Competition is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six producing 503 horsepower and 442 lb.ft. In an M3, that's a decent amount of power, but for a 4,600-pound SUV, anyone might think otherwise until they see the X3 M Competition move. 0-60 mph takes 3.3 seconds, quicker than a BMW M4, and the top speed maxes out at 177 mph. It's no secret that that could edge more towards 200 mph without the electronic limiter. BMW designed the 2021 X3 M Competition with asphalt in mind. The all-wheel-drive system is optimized for performance on paved roads, and none of the driving modes hint at off-road capabilities. But on the upside, the car has decent ground clearance.
The 2021 BMW X3 M Competition's interior is a work of art combining aggression and refinement without slacking on either. The first thing you come into contact with are the M Sports seat that will hug you comfortably and supportively in all the right places. And this also applies to the second-row seat as despite being a bench, it is quite comfortable. There's enough seating for five, and amenities are plentiful, including front heated seats. If you get an expansively specced example, it might have a panoramic sunroof and massaging seats. Practicality is impressive as the trunk offers a generous amount of cargo space, which increases with the rear seats folded down.
At first glance, the 2021 BMW X3 M Competition might not grab your attention, but the aggressive front design and sleek blacked-out elements hint at something completely different from the standard X3. The massive blacked-out grille and wider air vents give the front fascia a mean look. Sharper lines along the hood and body moving towards the side make it clear that the car is built for more than just everyday driving. You might also notice that the fenders are more muscular, contributing to the car's appeal. The side mirrors, window surrounds, rear diffuser and roof rails are all finished in black, emphasizing the 2021 X3 M Competition's performance-derived aesthetic.
Driving a BMW is more than just turning the ignition, selecting a gear, and pressing the gas pedal. Every BMW has tech that enriches the driving experience, and the 2021 X3 M Competition is no exception. Inside, you get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a similarly sized infotainment display with BMW's iDrive 7.0 system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and is connected to a Harman Kardon surround sound system. Performance is at the heart of the X3 M Competition, with features like adaptive M suspension and an Active M Differential for precise handling. The X3 M Competition also offers multiple driving modes, including Comfort, Sport, and Sport+, allowing you to tailor the car's performance to your preferences or driving surface requirements. For convenience, there's keyless entry, a hands-free power tailgate, and multi-zone climate control, among other features. Safety and driver assist features are also comprehensive, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, and more. How much will a 2021 BMW X3 M Competition set you back?
If you're sold on the 2021 BMW X3 M Competition, expect to spend around $55,000, which is quite a bargain for what it offers. The X3 M is a bit cheaper, but you'll miss out on some of the Competition package's goodies. Wondering where to buy one?
