The BMW M3 of sport-utility vehicles is here, Spies! That's right, BMW finally revealed its X3 M and X4 Ms as of this week.
It's hard to believe it took the Bavarians this long but given that SUV lust is at a fever pitch, it was now or never. Really.
But, alas, here we are.
Starting at $70,895*, you can be the proud owner of an X3 M. The X4 M starts at a higher rate of $74,395*. And, if you want in on those 500 horsepower Competition models, you better get ready to pony up another $7,000.
*These prices do not include title, taxes and fees.
So, I've got to ask: Are you going to be RUNNING to your local dealer or is it a HARD PASS for you?
...Of course, we'd look at the competition, too. There's the wild Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the razor-sharp and soon to be replaced Porsche Macan Turbo, and the V-8–powered Mercedes-AMG GLC63. But these new BMW M models may be the most perfect combination of virtues. U.S. pricing starts at $70,895 for the X3 M and $74,395 for the X4 M; the Competition models will set you back another $7000. Made in the United States, they will be at dealerships starting in mid-July.
