BMW India is planning to launch the X3 M40i in India very soon. The X3 M40i is the performance-oriented variant in the SUV’s lineup. It gets a mildly different exterior styling and a more powerful powertrain.
Compared to the regular X3, the M40i gets some distinct styling elements like the new M-specific kidney grille with twin-vertical slats, M Sport front and rear bumpers, new design 19-inch alloy wheels and more.
On the inside, the X3 M40i stays largely similar to the standard X3 that is equipped with M Sport Package. The biggest difference is that an M badge replaces the X3 plaque in the centre console.
In terms of features, the X3 M40i gets a dual 12.3-inch screen setup for the infotainment system and instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heads-up display, multi-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, 16-speaker audio setup from Harman Kardon, M leather steering wheel, M interior trim with Sensatec perforated leather upholstery, Sport seats, a 360-degree camera, and more.
