BMW helped start the compact luxury crossover segment with their very first X3 but until now BMW has resisted making performance versions for some reason.

While folks looking for an X3M will be disappointed, this model is aimed directly at folks that want more power, high value, and a direct Mercedes GLC 43 AMG competitor.
