About the X3 M 3.0 480

The 2019 BMW X3 M 3.0 480 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,970 kg with 473 bhp, which works out at 240 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.85 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 852nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 67th quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 114.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 0-60 time?
The BMW X3 M 3.0 480 reaches 60 mph in 3.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 852nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 quarter mile time?
12.07 s at 114.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.77 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 have?
473 bhp and 1,970 kg, which is 240 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW X3 M 3.0 480?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-AMG GLE AMG (W166) 63 4MATIC 557 (3.85 s), Range Rover Sport SV (3.56 s), BMW X4 M (F98) 3.0 480 (3.76 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW X3 M 3.0 480 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW X3 M 3.0 480 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
