Two years after the launch of the first BMW M GmbH High Performance models for the BMW X3 Sports Activity Vehicle and the BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupé, the BMW M variants of the SAV and SAC for the mid-size segment are now undergoing a comprehensive refresh.

Despite only recently celebrating their second birthdays, BMW's mid-size X3 and X4-based performance SUVs have joined their regular counterparts for a mid-life facelift, bringing new looks, a revised interior and, as rumoured by many, more punch to match their low-riding M3 and M4 siblings.

Under the bonnet sits the same 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six petrol engine as the models they replace, though torque jumps by 50Nm for total outputs of 375kW and 650Nm – matching the related M3 and M4 Competition models.

Drive continues to be sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a variable M xDrive all-wheel drive system, enabling a 3.8-second sprint from zero to 100km/h – down 0.3 seconds over the outgoing models.

BMW claims an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h as standard, with the limiter bumped up to 285km/h with the M Driver's Package fitted.

Interestingly, BMW's press materials make no mention of the 'base' 353kW/600Nm X3 M and X4 M models previously offered overseas, suggesting they have been axed – though such a move won't affect Australian buyers, as those variants were never offered locally.

BMW nailed this facelift, making the X3 M bolder without going overboard like it did on the M3 and M4. The grille is larger but not outrageous, the LED headlights are thinner, and the front bumper looks more sculpted than before. At the back, the rear signature remains handsome and inoffensive; we prefer it to the more controversial X4 M. The X3 M gets a body-colored roof spoiler and new LED taillights that look ultra-premium. It keeps the quad exhaust tips to alert onlookers that this X3 is a proper M vehicle.

We imagine most SUV buyers will opt for one of the X3 M's conservative hues, but BMW added some spicy options for the brave souls who want to make a statement. The Bay Blue metallic color pictured here is stunning, and the Sao Paulo Yellow launch color from the M3 and M4 is also available.

There was nothing wrong with the X3 M's cabin, so BMW only made minimal improvements to keep it fresh. These updates include a newer iDrive 7 infotainment system, now featuring the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, remote software upgrades, greater personalization, and more. The infotainment system lives on a 10.25-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, which adds the M View from the M8.

In terms of physical improvements, the X3 M borrows the updated HVAC setup from the newer M3 and M4, and the "setup" button from those cars. This button controls the engine and suspension settings, allowing drivers to customize their vehicle on the fly.
