2006 X3 "M" package ??

[jsaloha]

Hi,
What does the "M" package actually consist of? When trying to kbb a price they do not give you that option so how do you add for the package? Does it actually run different than a non "M" package? Thanks for helping clarify.

X5 has M package as an option, but I'm not sure for X3.
M package gives you different body kit, wheel, and M steering wheel, etc.. but it doesn't come with the M performance engine something like 500hp...

you better move this forum to the X3 forum so that the members with X3 could give you an answer whether X3 has M-package option...

no m badge option for any X

Do you mean X3 or X5?

In the X3, the M package is our sport package since 2006. It includes the aerodynamic kit, M sport steering wheel, M badges on the door sill, and a M shifter on manual transmission models. It comes with 18" style 191M wheels and staggered summer tires.

someone correct me if i am wrong, but BMW didnt make an M version of the X cause its an SUV. (SAV) M is for their fine tuned autos, the sport package gets you in the neighborhood. sport steering wheel, suspension upgrade, and different trim, rims... but you wont have a ///M badge on that bad boy unless you took one off another car. i know there are a few lemans X5's out there, but they were not production.

They didn't make a full M version, but they certainly made an M-Sport version of the X3. It was the only M Sport model that made it into the US when it was introduced, as BMW USA seemed to worry about diluting the brand. We had it prior to that in Canada, as did Europe, as well as M Sport versions of many other models. Check my sig. Note that we get the regular model, the sport model, and the M Sport model. M Sport is not the same as Sport.

M Sport packages typically include M Sport wheels, M Sport suspension (more tuned than the regular sport suspension), M steering wheel, M door sills, M pedals and/or dead pedal, M shifter, and anthracite headliner. BMW USA did sell M body kits for several models, for dealer install, but not the rest of the items.

I have this package on my CPO 06 X3. Here is a link to what is included from BMW's website: BMW X3 : M sports package

I believe it was about a $1700 retail add on. I would have to look at the sticker to give the exact figure.
