BMW believes the technology found in the 2018 X3 is out of this world. The German luxury brand has published a 360-degree video on YouTube for viewers to explore Mars with the 2018 X3 as a rover. In the future, BMW is apparently the official vehicle of Mars. Aside from the fact this particular 2018 BMW X3 wouldn't even be operable on the planet—the X3 M40i runs on a gasoline-powered turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine and oxygen isn't exactly abundant on the Red Planet—it's a neat piece of content for viewers and fans alike to explore the new SUV (and search for little green...

BMW was one of the first mainstream automakers to make the foray into electric cars when it started leasing battery-powered versions of its Mini Hardtop and 1-Series Coupe last decade. However, the automaker's much-hyped i division, launched in 2013 as a sub-brand dedicated to eco-friendly vehicles, has failed to make an impact. The i3, BMW's sole electric car, has suffered from low sales since launch and will soon be drastically outmatched by the competition, specifically the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] Model 3, despite more range being added for 2017. BMW’s error was going...

The latest version of the BMW X3 will storm into showrooms this May with a new four-cylinder turbo as its base engine and a six-cylinder turbo remaining an option for those desiring more power.
