It is already common knowledge among tuners that the BMW X3 M Competition has superb engine tuning potential. A tuning shop named Mosselman found a way to unlock this potential by ramping up the output to 660 PS (651 hp / 485 kW).
The upgrade is compatible with all F97 and G01 X3 M SUVs. Once applied, the torque at the wheels reaches as high as 870 Nm (642 lb-ft). The transmission receives its own share of modifications for a sharper, faster and sportier shifts.
An FI Exhaust system with a 200-cell catalytic converter and valve control rounds off the list, offering a sporty, but deep and smooth soundtrack with no annoying crackles and gurgles – a nice alternative to the ear-rending sport systems many other shops go for.
