For BMW enthusiasts, the focus often hones in on sedans, coupes, and the occasional hatchback. Yet, amidst this conversation arises an unexpected contender: the BMW X3 M Competition. But this is no ordinary SUV; it’s a sleeper, meticulously customized to redefine power. Crafted by UK aftermarket specialists at AMC Performance, this X3 M Competition, built on the “F97” platform, is a testament to automotive ingenuity.
The standard “S58” inline-six engine, already potent with 503 hp, undergoes a radical transformation, courtesy of AMC Performance. Through extensive modifications, including a single turbo from KLM Race and compatibility with ethanol, the engine’s output skyrockets to a staggering 1,100 hp. This fully built powerhouse represents the epitome of automotive engineering.
The powerful engine runs best on E70, a mix of 70% ethanol and 30% gasoline. To handle the increased power, the eight-speed automatic transmission gets upgraded. And the drive for more power continues, promising even more upgrades in the future.
Despite its power, the BMW X3 M Competition remains remarkably versatile. Its agility and functionality are undiminished, preserving its status as an exceptional all-rounder. This fusion of raw power and practical usability epitomizes the essence of automotive customization, where performance knows no bounds, yet comfort and convenience are never compromised.
