Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Extra power and torque does make a positive difference
Still the same big and comfortable off-roader
Centre and rear locking differentials are great

Cons
Gearbox can feel busy at times
Can feel cumbersome around town
Interior still feels a little old-fashioned

By: 
caradvice.com.au

Pros
Tough and comfortable family wagon that can go anywhere.

Cons
Lacklustre diesel performance

By: 
whichcar.com.au

Wi-Fi hotspot now standard.No other significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Wickedly quick acceleration
Grip and handling are excellent
Still as practical as a standard X3

Cons
Excessively stiff ride, even in the softest suspension setting
Tire roar on the highway can be wearing on long drives

By:

For 2021, the X3 M adds newly standard features and some fresh options. Most notably, its infotainment system now includes Android Auto, which had been conspicuously missing. Likewise, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a one-year subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L are now standard; a matte wood finish is a new interior option. BMW also changes the Competition designation from a model to a package.

Pros
As quick or quicker than many sports cars,
mind-boggling agility for an SUV,
more practical than a sedan.

Cons
Ride is stiffer than desired,
fewer driver-mode settings would be fine,
how much power is too much power?
