2011 BMW X3: M Sport Package Revealed

The 2011 BMW X3 will receive a brand new M Sport package which includes a body-coloured styling kit with revised bumpers, modified side skirts, 19-inch light alloy wheels, Shadow Line trim for the windows and exclusive Carbon Black metallic paint.

The inside houses an M Sports steering wheel, an M gear-knob, paddle shifters, sport seats and leather upholstery.

BMW has upgraded the suspension with stiffer dampers and variable sports steering.

The package will be available during the second quarter of 2011.

Dynamic and compelling, the M Sports package drives the sporty nature of the BMW X3 to even greater heights. The rich Carbon Black metallic paint finish and powerful 19-inch M light-weight alloy wheel rims set the tone, while the sports suspension tuning delivers the experience.

More Driving tools: the M multifunction leather steering wheel and variable sports steering. The M gear selection lever boasts particularly short throws. In the BMW xDrive35i with standard eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic, the M leather steering wheel also features gearshift paddles. The sporty suspension settings give you stiffer dampers and deliver precise feedback.

Ergonomically shaped sports seats provide side support against strong lateral forces, such as when cornering at speed. The Pearlpoint cloth-leather upholstery offers a beautifully tactile surface; matching the BMW Individual roof liner, it comes in sleek Anthracite.

With the M Sports package, the side skirts, wheel arches and front and rear aprons are in body colour – for example, the Carbon Black metallic paint finish that is exclusive to the M Sports package. Window surrounds and roof rails are in the high-gloss BMW Individual Shadow Line.

Available from the second quarter of 2011 (subject to change).
