2019 model with new S58 engine (that's a future new era M3/M4 engine). And it's a M SAV! So all this and it only tops stock 50i by about 15-20hp

So I wouldn't worry about it. If anything it only shows that our non M 50i is probably the only engine (n63tu) capable of been there among the M crowd. Also in 2019 X3M owners may get 475hp, but those of us tuned already have about 500-530 right now. By the 2019 - I'm sure we will have closer to 550-575hp with future tunes and pushing it more.

P.S. That X3M is still going to be a rocket - just because it's lighter and can also be tuned.

That's crazy insanely fast for the X3M...I see what you mean by lighter by a few hundred pounds..is matter it will likely attract most buyer going for the X3M in the later years..I have a stock 50i 445hp..my question is you can tune a 50i for more hp?

Will be interesting to see how much it is, here in the UK. I’m tempted by the M40i, as that looks loads of fun, but if the M isn’t too much more, it could be worth waiting.

Yes, quite easily. There are a number of flash tunes out there for the 50i producing 100+ hp and ft/lbs gains with no other mods.

This is awesome, I love to see BMW doing this type of stuff. I can definitely appreciate a brand catering to its customers.

"Only"? People here pay thousands of dollars to extract that from their stock motor. 20hp gain on an lighter X3 is a huge increase from the previous platform and says a lot about the motor and the X3M in general.

Albeit late to the party. I assume this was done because the SQ5 is already into it's second generation and having no problems selling. BMW sees a market and now needs to cater to it.
