We're going to be driving the hot BMW X3 M and X4 M models before too long, but if you're interested in buying one of these rapid SUVs and you want to individualise the look of the thing, then M Performance can help. A range of styling parts, both external and internal, are available, specifically for the 510hp Performance variants of each model. Carbon-fibre kidney grilles, air breathers and side sills are all available through M Performance, as are decals for the bodywork, LED projector door mirrors and the option of having the rear spoiler (roof-mounted on the X3 M, boot lip-mounted for the X4 M) in high-gloss black. Inside, the best item is the Alcantara, leather and carbon fibre M Performance steering wheel, complete with carbon-fibre shift paddles, although owners can also opt for a carbon gear lever and a set of snazzy floor mats. Beyond these bits, an Alcantara and carbon-fibre key case is offered, as are M Performance wheel bags for those buyers who have more than one set of alloy wheels for their wagon.
