BMW X3 M40i
Drivers looking for a performance masterpiece will want to check out the 382 horsepower, all-wheel drive X3 M40i.

Noted for its power and smoothness, this engine rockets the X3 to sixty miles per hour in only 4.4 seconds. There's also a 48V mild-hybrid system on board to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency. A standard M adaptive suspension lets drivers dial in some serious handling at the push of a button.

Drivers looking to really stand out from the pack will want to opt for the stunning Shadowline package, which includes several black styling elements both inside and outside the M40i.
