BMW’s X3 Mzansi Edition a subtle ode to SA

Paying homage to BMW's X3 local production

BMW is expanding its X3 local offering with the introduction of the X3 Mzansi Edition that is based on the xDrive20d model.

Carrying a price tag of R1 005 900, the BMW X3 Mzansi Edition comes fitted with sportier features such as an M Sport package that adds M high-gloss shadow line, blacked-out kidney grille and frame, M carbon wing mirror caps as well as red M Sport brake calipers.

The rear wing spoiler is finished in high-gloss black while the exhaust accents are finished in black chrome. Meanwhile, the rear diffuser also gets the high-gloss treatment.

The Mzansi Edition can be had in five colours and comes standard with a fully electrically operated tow hitch.

The cabin is fitted with a standard M Sport package that adds a panorama glass sunroof, ambient lighting, BMW Live Cockpit Professional and wireless charging.

The powerplant remains unchanged. It is still the 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel unit with 140 kW of power and 400 Nm of torque. It enables the SUV to sprint from a stop to 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds with the top speed capped at 213 km/h. The engine is paired with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission that sends power to both axles via the standard xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system.
