Today might be all about the new 5 Series (G60)<\/a> but a new spy video reminds us BMW is already testing the next-generation X3. Seen being pushed hard at the N\u00fcrburgring, the luxury crossover was spotted in M Performance guise judging by the quad exhaust system. We\u2019re hearing the luxury automaker intends to rebrand the vehicle as an \u201cM50i\u201d by ditching the \u201cM40i\u201d but nothing is official yet.<\/p>\n

Even if that\u2019s the case, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the performance crossover will get more power. After all, the M60i<\/a> versions of the X5, X6, and X7 are just as potent as their M50i-badged predecessors. Perhaps the name change has something to do with an updated or new engine considering the larger SUVs now feature a different powertrain with mild-hybrid technology. We\u2019re expecting better fuel economy and better response in the low rpm range courtesy of the 48V setup.<\/p>\n
