How come? Because BMW is already installing the more aggressive exhaust configuration on M Performance cars, with a relevant example being the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/24\/bmw-m760e-goodwood-cashmere-wool-interior\/\">M760e<\/a>. The facelifted M135i and first-ever X1 M35i have already been spotted with a quad-tip arrangement, so it\u2019s definitely coming to \u201cM Lite\u201d models. The adjacent unofficial rendering images the 2025 X3 with the quad exhaust and sharper headlights inspired by those of the 3 Series LCI.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, it is believed the M Performance model will be promoted from the current X3 M40i moniker to the \u201cM50i\u201d designation. That suggests a bump in power over the 382-hp output available today, but is highly unlikely to get anywhere near close to the 523-hp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2019\/05\/22\/world-premiere-2020-bmw-x5-m50i-suv-with-supercar-power\/\">X5 M50i<\/a>. BMW is still planning a full-fat X3 M, rumored to be known internally as the \u201cG97.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The German luxury brand intends to sell the revamped X3 with a variety of gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, joining the zero-emissions iX3. As for the next-gen X4, the coupe-SUV is rumored to be codenamed \u201cG46\u201d and apparently has an SOP date of December 2025. An X4 M (G98) will be launched further down the line.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolesa.ru\/news\/novyy-bmw-x3-pervye-izobrazheniya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kolesa.ru<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/f87.bimmerpost.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=901686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ynguldyn \/ Bimmer Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, that didn\u2019t take too long.
