2024 BMW X3 M Competition

The X3 M Competition is BMW M's mid-size performance SUV, built around the S58 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six. In Competition form it makes 503 bhp and 620 Nm, sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic and xDrive. BMW quotes 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, with the top speed limited to 155 mph. This 2024 example is finished in Brooklyn Grey over black Extended Merino leather, a sober combination that suits the car's understated character.

Specification is strong. The Technology Plus Pack brings adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera, while the Visibility Pack adds laser headlights alongside the Icon Adaptive LED units. A panoramic glass sunroof lets more light into the cabin, and front and rear park distance control helps with tight spaces. Practicality is retained too, with a generous boot and a 2,400 kg towing capacity.

The car has covered 23,161 miles and has had one owner from new, which is a reasonable return for a two-year-old M car. It is a Euro 6 petrol, and it pairs supercar-adjacent pace with everyday usability.
