The first-ever X3 M50 retains the ubiquitous B58 engine with a mild-hybrid setup. Combining the power of the turbocharged 3.0-liter mill with that of the electric motor results in a total system output of 393 hp and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm). The combustion engine alone is good for 375 hp and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) while the crankshaft-mounted starter generator delivers 17 hp and 147 lb-ft (200 Nm).
That e-motor is built into the eight-speed automatic transmission and helps the X3 M50 get to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds. That makes it 0.3s quicker than the retired Euro-spec X3 M40i. For the 60 mph (96 km/h) sprint, BMW quotes a 4.4-second time for the US-spec model. The acceleration performance hasn’t changed over the preceding model. Flat out, the range-topping X3 reaches an electronically governed 155 mph (250 km/h), or the same as before.
Made in Spartanburg, the new BMW X3 M50 will have its market launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the United States, it’s going to cost $64,100, plus $1,175 in destination and handling fees. At $65,275, it commands a $2,380 premium over the X3 M40i it replaces. The US is listed as being one of the main markets, alongside Germany. #carstribe #car #cars
