02 Sep 2019|5,220 views
BMW Asia and Performance Munich Autos have announced the availability of the BMW X3 M Competition and the BMW X4 M Competition, cars that set the benchmark for dynamic excellence, agility and precision in their respective classes.
The new engine also features a forged crankshaft, promising exceptional torsional resistance to handle high torque levels. Its low weight and reduced rotating mass also contribute to the engine's high-revving instincts.
Another standout feature is the use of 3D printing for the engine's cylinder heads. This manufacturing process enables geometric forms to be created that are beyond the capability of conventional metal casting techniques, cutting the weight of the new engine's cylinder head core and allowing its coolant ducts to be routed in a way that optimises temperature management.
A further developed High Precision Injection technology raises maximum injection pressure from 200 bar to 350 bar, enabling extremely efficient mixture preparation and minimising emissions. The package of technology is rounded off by VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing.
Both cars are able to accelerate from zero to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds, while the top speed of both models is electronically governed at 250km/h.
The electronically controlled M xDrive has been setup to only shift drive to the front axle when the rear wheels reach the limits of their power-transferring ability, maximising the agility of the vehicles.
Both models also receive various suspension upgrades: The front axle has been fitted with custom-made swivel bearings, torque arms and wishbones. Specially designed elastomer bearings are used to channel the forces conveyed by the control arms into the axle subframe and the vehicle body, while increased front wheel camber optimises handling stability and lateral control through corners.
Both models will also feature M-specific adaptive suspension, which continuously adjusts the damping forces for each individual wheel, ensuring both excellent everyday comfort and extremely direct contact with the road with little wheel and body movement.
Standard equipment for both cars include M Sport seats in Merino leather upholstery in the new Midrand Beige/Black colour scheme with Alcantara applications and carbon fibre interior trim strips. Both models are fitted with knee pads on the sides of the centre console as standard.
Versatility remains a key feature for both models, with a standard 40:20:40 split-folding rear backrest, enabling luggage capacity to be increased to a maximum of 1,600 litres in the BMW X3 M Competition and 1,430 litres in the BMW X4 M Competition.
