Two turbochargers
Two exhaust-driven turbochargers compress the intake air. Charge-air cooling removes heat added during compression.
M xDrive all-wheel drive
An eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox, rear-biased M xDrive and an Active M Differential bring the M powertrain to the X3’s taller, five-door body.
