2011 BMW X3 with M-Sport package revealed


BMW has released new details about the M Sports package for the 2011 X3.
Outside, the X3 features a monotone appearance thanks to a body-color styling kit which consists of revised bumpers and modified side skirts. Other goodies include 19-inch M light-weight alloy wheels, Shadow Line trim (window surrounds /roof rails), and exclusive Carbon Black metallic paint.
Inside, BMW adds an M sports steering wheel, an M gear knob, gearshift paddles (on the xDrive35i with the eight-speed automatic transmission), sports seats, 'Pearlpoint' cloth / leather upholstery, and an anthracite roof liner.
Dynamically, the package has a sport suspension (with stiffer dampers) and variable sports steering.
Pricing information wasn't released, but the M Sports package will be available during the second quarter of 2010.
