BMW has unveiled the X3 M Sport in India. The X3 M Sport sits at the top of the BMW X3 India line-up and is priced at Rs 59.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). A few months ago, we broke the story of BMW readying a hotter X3 for India.

The new BMW X3 M Sport is based on the updated X3 and comes with a 255bhp 3.0-litre diesel engine, that also does duty in the 7-series, 5-series sedans and the X5. The standard BMW X3 is available with a 2.0-litre four cylinder diesel motor.

Key differentiators that separate the standard car from the hotter M Sport trim are:

·         3.0-litre 255bhp twin-turbo diesel engine

·         8-speed sport automatic gearbox with launch control
