Hartge

In case you didn't know, the most powerful engine, for the X3, isn't a petrol engine, how BMW accustomed us with other models. In fact, it's a diesel unit, to be more certain, the xDrive35d variant, wich features a turbocharged 3.0L unit, with 309HP - which might not be available for all the markets.

To get back to our sheep, Hartge is very drawn to powerful engines that BMW develops, they like to squeeze as much power as they can from it, which they also did with the last project. 

After Hartge's specialists touch the engine, it develops no less than 357HP and a torque of 710Nm, how is that for a compact SUV?

Hartge, the untamed BMW tuner strikes again. Well known for their flawless M engine transplants, they couldn't have gone passed the 1M coupe. 

This time, they kept the original engine, but installed the "Hartge powerbox", which consits in an electronically tweaking and new exhaust system, which takes the power output to almost 400HP and 530Nm of torque. The tuner states that after their program, the car has a better fuel economy by 0.5L/100km.

Hartge also touched the looks, ride height has been lowered by 30mm, new choice of lightweight rims, new lid and roof spoiler, new exhaust tips, Hartge badges and bespoke floor mats.
