This 2024 BMW X3 M Competition offers the perfect combination of high-performance M-car dynamics with the practicality of a premium mid-size SUV. Finished in the striking Marina Bay Blue Metallic – a signature BMW M colour that changes character with the light – it stands out without ever being brash.

Under the bonnet lies BMW’s renowned 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo inline-six producing 510 PS (503 bhp) and 650 Nm of torque, driving all four wheels through the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Performance is nothing short of electrifying: 0–62 mph in just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of up to 177 mph with the optional M Driver’s Package. Adaptive M suspension, Active M differential, and M-specific chassis tuning ensure the X3 M Competition corners with the poise and precision expected of a true M car.

Inside, the cabin blends luxury with motorsport-inspired detailing. M multifunction seats in Merino leather provide exceptional support, while carbon-fibre interior trim, M seatbelts, and the thick-rimmed M leather steering wheel reinforce the performance focus. The technology suite includes BMW’s latest Operating System 8 with a high-resolution curved display, full-colour head-up display, Harman Kardon surround sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the full suite of BMW ConnectedDrive services.

Practicality remains a strength, with a spacious rear cabin, a versatile load area, and standard features such as a panoramic glass sunroof, 3-zone climate control, Comfort Access keyless entry, and adaptive LED headlights. Advanced safety and driver assistance systems include Driving Assistant Professional with adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and front cross-traffic alert.

Widely praised by the UK automotive press, Autocar called the latest X3 M “ferociously quick and impressively composed,” while Evo highlighted its “astonishing point-to-point pace matched with everyday usability.” With just 5,000 miles covered, this example presents in superb condition and offers a rare opportunity to secure one of BMW M’s most versatile performance cars in a head-turning specification.
