2022 BMW X3 M and X4 M Competition price and specs
BMW's high-performance mid-size SUVs get an update, with more torque, more tech and updated styling – but higher price tags to match.
- 2022 BMW X3 M Competition and X4 M Competition pricing and specification
- Updated performance SUVs quicker than before, with 50Nm extra torque
- Redesigned exterior fascias and revised interior headline styling changes
- Priced from $160,900 plus on-road costs
Australian pricing and specifications for the 2022 BMW X3 M Competition and X4 M Competition performance SUVs have been confirmed, ahead of their local arrival in the fourth quarter of 2021 (October to December).
Mirroring changes to their regular counterparts, the X3 M and X4 M gain more torque for Model Year 2022, plus revised front and rear ends, new active safety technology and BMW's latest interior styling (with a centre console from the 4 Series passenger car range).
Available solely in flagship Competition guise in Australia, prices start from $160,900 before on-road costs in X3 M form – matching a low-riding BMW M3 Competition xDrive, with the same running gear – to $167,900 before on-road costs for the X4 M.
Powering the models is a shared 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six, sending 375kW and 650Nm (up 50Nm) to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased M xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
BMW claims a 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.8 seconds on the way to an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h (or 285km/h with the M Driver's Package, though it's not clear whether it will be offered in Australia).
A long list of standard features is offered – detailed in full at the bottom of this story – including 21-inch alloy wheels, three-zone climate control, dual 12.3-inch infotainment displays, adaptive dampers, wireless smartphone mirroring, a head-up display, and a panoramic sunroof.
They join a selection of new standard items for 2022, including laser headlights, Reversing Assistant, over-the-air updates, and the Driving Assistant Professional package, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and go, lane-centring assist, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and more.
A range of optional packages are available, including the $1400-$2000 Rear Seat Comfort Package, $2000 Executive Package, $1400 Innovations Package, and $2500-$4000 M Carbon Package. A full breakdown of the contents of each package is listed at the bottom of this story.
Available colours include Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, Sophisto Grey Brilliant Effect and Toronto Red, plus new-for-2022 Sao Paulo Mello, M Carbon Black Metallic, Marina Bay Metallic, Brooklyn Grey, and Tanzanite Blue Metallic – with all bar the lattermost hue (which costs $2000) being no-cost options.
A range of alloy wheel options, interior trim inlay choices and leather upholstery colour schemes are available, as are a choice red, black or blue brake calipers. The X3 M's black roof rails can also be optioned on the X4 M.
The 2022 BMW X3 M Competition and X4 M Competition will go on sale in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2021 (October to December inclusive).
