The BMW X3 M40i has arrived at the Indian shores for the first time and is available at an ex-showroom price of INR 86,50,000. The sporty variant is being imported into the country as a Completely Built-Up (CBU)—which explains the exorbitant price tag.

Key exterior highlights include adaptive LED headlights; M High Gloss Shadow Line extended content; M Shadow Line lights (dark tint around headlights); standard 20-inch M light alloy wheels; M Sport brakes with red calipers, and a panoramic glass roof.

Adaptive M Suspension, M Sport differential and Variable Sport Steering are included as standard too.

Inside, key highlights include BMW Live Cockpit Professional (a 12.3-inch driver display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen); a head-up display; Harman Kardon sound system; 3-zone climate control; M leather steering wheel, M seat belts; ambient lighting with six dimmable designs, and more.
