“The Driveway” series continues today with one of BMW’s most popular models to date – the X3. In its second generation now, the midsize SUV was released in 2010 for the 2011 model year and it’s almost as large as the original E53 series X5. Over two million units were delivered to this date from the Spartanburg plant in South Carolina.
And while it’s an extremely popular car on the road, it’s very rare you get to see one that has gone through an extensive tuning program. Until today.
