The M3 was manufactured 8 years prior to the X2D which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the M3 grades against the X2D in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M3 and Hasselblad X2D 100c. The entire galleries are available at Canon M3 Gallery and Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

Often, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M3 and X2D.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M3 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Hasselblad X2D will produce more detail due to its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged M3 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
