BMW X3 M is priced at Rs 99.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
I find the concept of high-performance SUVs equal parts baffling and fascinating. Baffling because why would one looking for performance buy something that is inherently flawed thanks to its size and high centre of gravity and can, at most, match actual performance cars only in terms of straight-line acceleration and top speed. Fascinating because they are a brilliant showcase of just how far engineering has come to help defy the laws of physics by displaying abilities a car with those physical attributes shouldn’t.
