Now, it goes without saying that it is not possible to drive the BMW X3 on Mars, or any of our convention cars, mainly because of the internal combustion engine, which needs oxygen to function. And the BMW X3 M40i for the matter is powered by an M Performance TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder inline engine. The 3-liter petrol motor makes about 350 bhp and develops about 500 Nm. With much firepower, the all-new BMW X3 M40i comes with a top speed of 250 kmph.
