BMW's Upcoming X3 M Could Be Its First SUV With A Competition Pack

Now the whole family can enjoy a track-focused BMW.

It is no secret BMW has been working on an M version of the X3 SUV, which is rumored to pack a 450-horsepower twin-turbo inline-six. This high-performance SUV will go to battle with models such as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, Mercedes GLC63 AMG, and recently revealed Jaguar F-Pace SVR. We have no doubt the X3 M will be competitive in this segment, but BMW may have a secret weapon in store. According to Motor.es, the X3 M may be the first BMW SUV to receive a Competition Package.

We have recently seen how a Competition Package greatly increased the performance of the M2, so there is no telling what it could do for the X3 M. The report claims the package could add as much as 25 hp to bring the total to 475. This is still off the mark of rivals from Jaguar and Mercedes, but BMW has always been competitive even with less power under the hood. Since the X3 M hasn't even been revealed yet, it is difficult to speculate on how hardcore a Competition Package model could be. Clearly it won't add a completely new engine as in the M2, but it will likely bring in stiffer suspension, better handling, more aggressive looks, and weight reduction.

The X3 M is expected to be revealed by the end of the year, so we should have our answers soon. Judging by how late in the product cycle the Competition Package arrived for the M2, M3, and M4, we doubt it will be available at launch for the X3 M.

Watch The BMW M2 Competition Set Another Bizarre World Record

It’s certainly an unusual way to demonstrate a car’s agility.

BMW’s new marketing campaign for the M2 Competition is certainly unusual. To demonstrate the car’s agility and handling, the Bavarian automaker has set out to break several world records previously set by humans. In the last stunt, the M2 Competition successfully popped 79 balloons in under 60 seconds with a laser beam. This time, the M2 Competition was brought to Cape Town, South Africa, to try and beat a previous record by cutting more than 87 straw mats with a blade.

“This is a very tricky bit of driving, it is virtually impossible,” stunt coordinator Marc Higgins explained. “The demands on the BMW M2 Competition are immense. Every drift has to be performed with absolute precision; there is no room for error. A strong presence and agility naturally help a lot.” Director Oison Tymon confirmed the performance coupe shattered the previous record, successfully cutting 117 bamboo mats in under a minute.

The rolled-up bamboo mats were arranged in semi-circles so that they could be cut while drifting using a precision blade attached to the rear of the car. Apart from the addition of the blade, the M2 Competition was left completely stock to perform the stunt and features the same technology as the series-production vehicle including two selector switches that allow drivers to adjust the engine, steering and Drivelogic functions.

Power is provided by the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six engine used in the M3 and M4 tuned to deliver 405 hp and 406 lb-ft, enabling the performance coupe to hit 0-62 mph in four seconds.

2019 BMW M2 Competition Doesn't Cost Much More Than The Regular M2

Talk about a performance bargain.

Set to go on sale this July in the US, the new 2019 BMW M2 Competition is everything we love about the “standard” M2 and more. Often times that ‘more’ part comes at a premium price. As BMW Blog has uncovered, that’s not the case here. The 2019 M2 Competition will carry a base price of $58,900, exactly $4,400 more than the M2. That’s an incredible bargain and here’s why: instead of the M2’s twin-scroll 3.0-liter inline-six with 365 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque, you’ll get a modified version of the S55 engine that also powers the M3 and M4.

It’s also a 3.0-liter inline-six, though it’s a twin-turbo engine that makes 405 hp and 406 lb-ft. Yes, hp is down compared to the M3/M4, but it makes an equal amount of torque. As is the case with the M2, a six-speed manual is standard while the seven-speed dual-clutch is optional. Of course, power is sent to the rear wheels only. There’s also the M3’s electronically-controlled limited-slip diff that splits up power between the rear wheels, though it too has been modified for M2 Competition duty. BMW claims a 0-60 mph time of just 4 seconds while top speed will, once again, be limited to 155 mph. That figure increases to 174 mph with the M Driver’s Package.

Other M3/M4 carry-overs include carbon high-precision struts, and a recalibrated electromechanical power steering unit specifically tuned for high performance driving. BMW gave the M2 Competition a few minor exterior modifications, such as larger twin kidney grilles for improved airflow, a new front splitter, and two new exterior color choices. Inside you’ll find standard M Sport bucket seats that incorporate an illuminated M2 logo. This is also the first M2 to have selector switches in the center console, allowing drivers to alter engine and steering settings. It also sounds incredible, and for a mere $4,400 extra over the standard M2’s $54,500 base price, it can all be yours.

BMW X3 M And X4 M Could Have Over 500 HP With Competition Package

This level of performance will enable BMW to fight the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

BMW will be premiering three new models at the LA Auto Show in November. We're expecting to see the 8 Series Convertible break cover, and it also seems likely that the X3 and X4 M will debut at the show since both models have recently been teased by BMW.

Last year, BMW M’s boss Frank van Meel said he was keen to give M-Performance SUVs the Competition Package treatment. It still isn’t clear which SUVs will get the upgrade, but a report by BMW Blog suggests the X3 M and X4 M will be available with optional Competition Packages.

Powering the first ever X3 M and X4 M will be BMW’s newly developed twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine codenamed S58. In its base form, the new unit is said to deliver around 450 horsepower, but higher specifications of the engine are rumored to develop over 500 hp.

The X3 M and X4 M Competition Packages are expected to deliver this level of power, allowing BMW to compete with other high-performance SUVs on the market like the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which both have over 500 hp on tap.

As well as a performance increase, the X3 M and X4 M Competition models should also have sportier suspension as well as visual changes to distinguish them from the regular X3 and X4. If previous Competition models are anything to go by, the upgraded X3 M and X4 M should debut a few months after the market launch of the standard models. According to BMW Blog, the X3 and X4 aren’t expected to debut until mid-2019, which seems surprising given BMW has already previewed both models.

2019 BMW M5 Competition First Drive Review: The Competition Spec Awakens The Force

And we thought the F90 M5 was already a track monster.

When I drove the new BMW M5 (F90) at Estoril last November it left a very strong impression that BMW had not only recovered from its stumble with its lackluster predecessor but also now had the right stuff to give the mighty E63 S AMG a bloody nose.

The previous F10 M5 was fast in a straight line but felt heavy and unwieldy, which was no surprise since it was around 200 lb heavier than the charismatic, normally aspirated V10 M5 it replaced. The powerful, torque-rich twin-turbo V8 motor also felt on the verge of overwhelming the rear wheel drive chassis. It thus came as no surprise that BMW M not only put their 2018 M5 on a diet but also boosted its power and installed the xDrive all-wheel-drive system to maximize grip in all weather conditions.

Uprated in M5 Competition guise, the revised BMW engine now makes 625hp at 6,000rpm, underpinned by 553 lb-ft of torque between 1,800 and 5,800rpm. That is a useful increase over the standard M5’s 600hp, even if the maximum twist on tap is no greater.

With maximum grip assured by the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the M5 Competition catapults to 62mph in just 3.3 seconds, which is going some for a car weighing a whopping 4,111 lbs (DIN) or 4,277 lbs (EU). The sprint to 124mph takes 10.8 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, although many owners will no doubt specify the M Driver’s Package option, which opens this out to 190mph.

“We had the Competition version in mind right from the beginning of the M5 programme,” said Project Manager Axel Schramm. “For example, we knew that it would have 625hp."

“The work on the uprated chassis began in early 2017 and this was the time that the suspension settings for the base car had already been set for production,” he explained. “The simple fact was that we had to develop the M5 chassis to the end before we could use it as the jumping off point for the Competition version that would be aimed at enhanced performance on track.”

“The one area we did not know about at the start of the M2 and M5 Competition development programs was the final specification for the EU6D emissions regulations,” he continued. “These were announced fairly late in our programs and at first we thought they were going to pose a serious problem.”

In the event the extra restriction in the exhaust caused by the particulates filter was easily overcome more or less with a mild increase in turbo boost. As the V8 engine has 4.4 liters it is inherently powerful and all that was required was for maximum boost to be dialed up from 2.7 to 2.8 bar.

A more engaging exhaust note was another item on the development team’s bucket list, and the M5 Competition has a new rear exhaust silencer design that does indeed create a more wholesome soundtrack. We certainly noticed it from the pit lane when the cars were on track at Ascari, but it is quite subtle from inside the car unless you drop a window.

The M5 suspension revisions to Competition spec are based around a 7.0mm reduction in ride height combined with a 10% increase in spring rate. The active dampers were then recalibrated to suit. The rear anti-roll bar is 5% larger to move the handling balance further towards a neutral state, while the two center bushes of the front-anti-roll bar have been uprated.

“More negative camber is dialed into the front suspension to improve turn-in response,” explained Christian Flessa, the engineer responsible for driving dynamics. “This is always a balancing act in a road car that goes in a straight line more than it turns, so to avoid excessive tire wear the Competition has 1° 30’ of negative camber compared to 50’ for the standard M5,” he said. To achieve this with minimal cost the top suspension link is modified using rubber bushes with slightly offset metal inserts. Last but not least the software governing the DSC and xDrive were recalibrated to maximize the gains made by the revised suspension hardware.

To minimize weight transfer of the heavy engine under acceleration, braking and cornering the engine mounts have been made 30% stiffer. This is a fine balancing act that skirts the potential problem of over-stiff mounts introducing unacceptable levels of drivetrain NVH.

Thanks to various weight-saving measures such as the forged alloy wheels that shave 6.6 lb from each corner and lower that critical unsprung mass, the M5 Competition ends up no heavier than the standard car.

Despite its massive 20-inch wheels and tires the well-judged steel springs and active dampers of the BMW M5 create a near-perfect balance of ride and handling without the added cost and complexity of air springs.

Dialing things up by around 10-percent for the Competition version has not spoilt that balance, and just puts a slight edge on the ride that is compensated for by using the Comfort mode more in normal driving. On the other hand, Sport mode is still just fine as there is enough latitude in its ride comfort while its superior rebound control still makes it the setting of choice for most situations. Ultimately the choice is down to your mood on the day.

The revised suspension calibration sharpens up the feedback you experience through the steering and seat of your pants when you turn into a bend at speed. The Competition feels a bit tighter, a bit more agile, even more of a super sedan.

It is on track, however, where you can really extend the car to its limits and beyond that the M5 Competition really comes alive. If the truth be told the extra 25hp is barely noticeable, with the real gains coming from the revised chassis settings.

The BMW M xDrive system never allows too much power to be shifted to the front and is very consistent in maintaining the desirable rear-wheel-drive biased high-performance car feel.

Meanwhile, the front axle exerts its mild stabilizing influence to help drag the car out of a bend with maximum possible overall traction. And as with the normal M5, you can switch to rear-wheel-drive only should you wish to showboat and immolate the rear tires with drifts or doughnuts.

I am a big fan of the MDM2 setting, which is accessed by two pushes on the right-hand red lever on the steering wheel. The second push confirms your conscious decision to ask the electronic nanny to step aside and maximizes the potential of the clever M Differential in the rear axle.

Ascari is my home circuit so I was able to use the M5 Competition’s full potential from the word 'go' without wondering which way the next bend or the one after goes.

The Competition’s slightly stiffer chassis set up imbues an extra measure of body control over the cars not inconsiderable weight, making it feel a touch more incisive on turn-in thanks to a slower roll moment.

Once you reach the apex of a bend and start to apply power the effect of the solid bushes on the rear toe links can be felt peeling away a layer of the vagueness inherent in the normal M5’s more comfort-biased rubber bushes. The overall difference is actually quite subtle rather than night and day, and you have to be familiar with the standard M5’s behavior on road and track in order to make this judgment.

With that in mind, the changes to the chassis are certainly worthwhile and the car now feels like it could easily handle another 25 or even 50hp, although the latter figure would likely begin to tax the excellent optional carbon-ceramic brakes.

It is also noteworthy that the 4WD chassis is very stable under extreme braking from high speeds, such as on the back straight at Ascari where 90mph has to be shed from 150mph terminal speeds before entering the third gear Piff-Paff sequence at the end. The M5 is such a good overall package out of the box that the debate raged over whether Audi or AMG would be the first to dethrone it as king of the super sedans. But it looks like BMW’s own M5 Competition has arrived there first.

BMW Makes M2 Competition Even Better With M Performance Parts

As if the stock car was awesome enough.

We waited, waited, and waited some more, and BMW finally delivered by revealing the highly anticipated M2 Competition. We knew the M2 Competition would be special, but we didn't know just how special it would be. Gone is the 365 hp 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbo N55, replaced by a 405 hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo S55 from the M3 and M4. Of course, even BMW's M cars can be improved, which is why the company offers further upgrades through the M Performance parts catalog - now available for the M2 Competition.

The M Performance catalogue includes parts for cars ranging from the M5 down to the company's small SUVs. Now, owners can make their M2 Competition even cooler with some new performance parts. Those who want their M2 Competition to sit a little lower can purchase the M Performance suspension retrofit kit, which lowers the car by up to 20 millimeters. The suspensions also includes 12 compression settings and 16 rebounds stages. Other upgrades include lightweight forged wheels and larger brakes. The BMW M Sports Brake System Red includes larger, internally ventilated and perforated discs, which improve thermal resilience.

The six-piston calipers in front and four-piston calipers in the back help stop the car even under high thermal load. Adding to the look of the car is a new wheel design available in Black matte and Frozen Gold. The five-spoke design allows the red brakes to stand out and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires provide maximum grip. Carbon fiber lovers will especially love the available options in the catalogue. Owners can save weight on their car with a carbon fiber hood, side panels, front splitter, mirror caps, door sills, side skirts, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, engine cover, as well as several interior pieces.

One of our biggest criticisms of the S55 is the way it sounds. Fortunately, BMW will offer a lightweight performance exhaust with rear silencers, allowing the car to be both quiet and loud on demand. Finally, BMW will take a page out of GM's book with the M Performance Drive Analyzer. This part plugs into the ODB port of the car and lets the driver analyze the data of their driving performance. All of these parts add up to make the M2 Competition even cooler than it already was.
