When BMW officially unveiled the fourth-generation X3 a few months ago, we were surprised by the design direction the automaker went for. While it still looks like a BMW, the brand traded angular lines for smooth curves which resulted in the X3 having a more futuristic look.

We have yet to see BMW reveal the new-generation X3 M based on the all-new model. However, we already have an idea of what to expect once the company finally reveals it. This comes after BMW revealed the M Performance parts for the all-new X3.

Thanks to a wide array of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts, high-gloss urethane, and durable aramid, the M Performance parts spice up the looks of the already good-looking X3. It gets a front splitter painted black which goes well with the M Sport bumper which gets a dark trim finish. It also comes with an M Sport grille complete with the signature 'M' logo for all to see.

Also worth mentioning are the large 22-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels painted black although a smaller 20-inch set is available, too. Around the back, the crossover gets an aggressive roof-mounted spoiler, a blacked-out rear diffuser with quad exhausts, a sportier rear bumper, and a carbon-finished fuel filler cap. In addition, the X3 M Performance parts catalog includes Frozen Black side decals and black side mirror caps.

No pictures of the interior are available but BMW also fitted the all-new X3's cabin with M Performance components. These include branded door sills finished in carbon, aluminum, or stainless steel. M Performance pedals are also available and are exclusively finished in stainless steel. Last but not least are special floor mats which come with M Performance lettering, leather look edges, contrast stitching, and stitched-in ribbon BMW M colors.

It might be a while before the all-new BMW X3 makes its way here to the Philippines. However, those who are eager to get one may want to let BMW Philippines distributor SMC Asia Distributors Corp. know to have theirs with the M Performance kit. Heck, we won't be surprised if the company will offer it as an option for would-be customers in the future.
