The new BMW X3, now in its fourth generation, has been enhanced with a sportier design and improved versatility. To further customise this already impressive SUV, BMW has just introduced a range of M Performance Parts. These parts, crafted from high-quality materials like carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), aramid, and high-gloss polyurethane, seamlessly integrate with the X3’s design and enhance both its aesthetics and performance.
Exterior Enhancements
The M Performance parts for the X3 focus on enhancing its exterior appearance and aerodynamic efficiency. The new front splitter, available for the first time on this model, complements the M Sport Package and adds a more aggressive stance. The side decals, made from durable and weather-resistant material, further emphasize the vehicle’s sporty character. Carbon fuel filler caps and exterior mirror caps provide additional visual flair.

For the rear, BMW offers a rear diffuser and roof edge spoiler, both designed to improve aerodynamics and enhance the X3’s rear profile. The M Performance tailpipe trims, available exclusively for the X3 M50 xDrive, add a distinctive touch and signal the vehicle’s powerful performance.
Interior Upgrades
The interior of the X3 can also be customized with M Performance parts. Carbon door sills, aluminum door sill trims, and floor mats with embroidered M Performance lettering add a touch of luxury and sportiness. The M Performance pedal covers and locking button further enhance the driver’s experience.

Performance and Style
The M Performance parts for the X3 are more than just cosmetic upgrades. They are designed to enhance the vehicle’s performance and handling. The aerodynamic components improve airflow and reduce drag, while the lightweight materials contribute to better acceleration and fuel efficiency.

According to BMW, the new BMW X3 goes on sale in South Africa from the fourth quarter of 2024, while the BMW M Performance Parts will be available from the first quarter of 2025.
