Following the announcement of their new X3, BMW has released details of the M Sports package for the new SAV.
Outside, the BMW X3 M Sport features a monotone appearance thanks to a colour-coded body-kit that includes re-styled bumpers and side skirts. Other accessories include 19-inch light-weight M alloy wheels, ‘Shadow Line’ trim on the window surrounds/roof rails and optional Carbon Black metallic paint, available exclusively with the M Sport package.
Inside, BMW adds an M sports steering wheel, an M gear knob, gearshift paddles (on the xDrive35i with the eight-speed automatic transmission), sports seats, ‘Pearlpoint’ cloth / leather upholstery, and an anthracite roof liner.
Dynamically, the package has a sport suspension (with stiffer dampers) and variable sports steering.
Pricing information hasn’t been released, but the M Sports package will be available to European buyers during this second quarter of 2010.
