Exactly!! Everyone is in on making videos for the clicks/likes. One could not be far from the other. One is an I6 the other a V8. One is a sedan, the other a CUV(or as BMW likes to refer to them as an SAV). Yes they both are based on a unibody.
I know a few pre-lci 40i owners who wish the car didn't burble like it does. I personally like it, as do most enthusiasts, but a lot of less enthusiast-oriented M40i owners/shoppers prefer the car without the burbles.
@@IvanLitus no the 2019 had an update B58TU1 that came with lots of emission-related updates to meeg EU regulations, that’s why there’s a noticeable difference in sounds between these two years

Surprising to hear that! Most opinions of the LCI taillights are overwhelmingly positive. I think they're super cool. But we're all entitled to our opinions... nothing will be to everyone's taste.
@@bmwofmorristown9038 Surely to each their own. Since the 80s/90s I've always loved most German taillights stare at you, they just produce kind of a German no-smile-seriousness-effect, which is full of confidence. While I can see an upgrade on the LCI taillights clearely, they lack the above-mentioned effect and even do look funny like wearing a stupid glasses that doesn't fit 😂
You realize the X3M40i is just a M340i or M440i meaning m sport lol. The M550i is just an msport also. Soooo idk if youre saying the 5 series is an M cuz it isnt lol. And you do realize that the X3 has an M version just like the rest of BMWs lineup lol.
M550!
It's tough to compete with!

X3 M40i the most iconic BMW inline 6 😈
Ye bro we legit bought one today 🎉🎉
@@StanplaysR👀
I thought it was the m140i
@@StanplaysRcap 🧢 😂
B58!!
Revving at a standstill = the 550i
Full beans acceleration = Straight 6!!!
Interesting take!
Pre 2020 X3 M40i without OPF beats both
These don’t have opf
@@PapiAndreyyes they have
@@FreshToast97 No they don’t, US models never got opf

X3 M40i
I have X3 M40i but M550 sounds better
me too and I think the same
Me three
Ain’t gone lie both sounds tuff but that b58 just be sounding different 🔥
props to the x3 M40i
X3 m40i, strong but subtle!
Absolutely!
M550i although i love the X3
We love both :) That M550i does sound mean though!
Same here
Same
M550i has a twin turbo V8. The X3 M40i has a single turbo I6. What exactly are you trying to compare??
The sound of the V8 compared to the sound of the I6! They are very different, but we thought it'd be fun to see how they stack up.
But, B58 is better.
In terms of performance
The sound???? Hence “which sounds better?” Lmfao what

x3 m40i is my favorite n u know how it is when u love something. everything they do is outstanding 😊. X3 M40i with m58 engine so loved 😘😘
You mean B58?
X3M40i 😍
💙💙
As an m5 550i owner iam not disappointed
Neither are we :)
The M550 sounds like a distant battlefield 🔥🔥 But the X3 is also way too good, too iconic 🔥🔥🔥
I really love the m40i but 550's sound is perfect!
They both sound great, but tough to beat a V8.
Both sound amazing.
B58
💪💪
m550i sounds better but x3 takes the cake for practicality
jeez what a beautiful color on that x3! Anyone know the name ?
my 2007 x3 with muff and resonator delete is destroying lives, haha, best sounding exhaust ever, pops like a lambo, but not as obnoxious.
Question which one leaks the most oil
Neither!
Damnnn I usually like the higher pitched sounds but that m550 sounds really good. What year is it ?
Strong ahh bmw
Had a 20' x3 m40i and now a x5 m50i with downpipes. Both sound amazing but the v8 hits different
The V8 definitely has something special to it.
Love them both ❤
Agreed 💙
both 😊
I really miss the burbles on the Pre LCI M40… wonder why they took them out!
I know a few pre-lci 40i owners who wish the car didn't burble like it does. I personally like it, as do most enthusiasts, but a lot of less enthusiast-oriented M40i owners/shoppers prefer the car without the burbles.
What is the colour code for the X3?
X3 m40i
Wow the X3 m40i sounds better... surprisingly!
M 550 very very very nice
M550 the only Beamer I actually like it’s a beast ngl nd look is clean imma DaZa guy too
Is the m550i stock, because mine don’t burbles.
M550i all day
The M5 of course
What color is this on the x3
Tanzanite Blue
might be Carbon Metallic though
Nope, it’s Tanzanite. @@shooterpcb
M550i V8 sound is 🔥
X3 m40 i i have the bmw also
A toss up in imo because the M40 didn’t have the burbles and the M550 did
On the fly though, the b58
The burbles are definitely cool, tough to pick for sure!
That X3 M40i is stock ?
Yes, both stock!
German 6s, and American v8s, when it comes to sound
you shoud have compared the 2018 X3 M40i, that sounds much better than 2019 onwards
19 still has first gen b58. 20+ sounds different.

That V8 👌
my 35 year old 400 thousand mile m20 would smoke em
This is sou cool sound

i hate the too strong noisy sound on the road. M40i better
That's fair! The more subtle exhaust notes are great as well.

I love my 23 x3M40i, but that m550i tho 😅
There's a lot to love about your car, but that V8 is tough to compete with sound wise!
a 2021 x3 M40 sounds similar to the m550i seems like the newer LCI is much quieter.

Very mature to put your bias aside :)
@@bmwofmorristown9038 haha thank you - but OPF vs no OPF makes all the difference
Tie!
Smt wrong with 340i. It sounds more or less the same as 50d
That 550i
X3 color?
Tanzanite Blue
That M40i is too quiet nowadays. I love my 2020 X4 m40i, sounds louder, although the 2018 has more burbles but less tech, The late 2020 engine was updated and still quiet bubbly. :-D
Unfortunately, they did tone down the burbles and make the exhaust quieter with the LCI, when the car received the mild hybrid tech.
My wife’s 2019 M40i sounds better than both of those 😁 there is just something about 1st gen B58.
Are the lights on the 550 supposed to do that? Why?
That's just an effect of the camera, they don't do that in person.
X3
Gotta love the sound of a straight six!
The b58 just sounds better and different than any other engine
ANY other engine might be a bit of a stretch, but it is good for sure!
Now you know that 550 busin...
The V8 sounds better❤
if the open road badges are from yalls dealer, i've had a few cars in for service from yalls place! kinda cool
Not just us, I believe all of our Open Road stores use the same badges. But, there's a chance it was us, that is pretty cool!

I can't get over how bad do the X3's taillights look. Pre LCI were almost perfect to my eyes.
Surprising to hear that! Most opinions of the LCI taillights are overwhelmingly positive. I think they're super cool. But we're all entitled to our opinions... nothing will be to everyone's taste.

Ok, if you run the M550 in sport mode you have to do the same for the M40. This isn't a good comparison......
Both cars were in sport mode!
M550i?
X3 not in sport mode. That's why.
the m40i is not on sport plus mode, Not fair

💙💙
Or just get the m5 competition 😭
That's always a nice option :)
M550i by a mile!
Tough to beat a V8!
M Badge on a X3😂. Remember the days when that Badge actually meant something.
Actually it means something, not this typical car but there is also an X3M competition that would smoke alot of M cars.

6 cilindri forever
3L vs 4.4L
Yep! But, perhaps surprisingly, displacement alone has almost no impact on how a good car can or does sound :)

Is this a real question to the obvious
I know, what's the best 😂 toyota. Its not so loud and fast, but keep on going, when both of bmw's will lay on junkyard😂
X3 does not sound like the settings are correct for the burbles!
They reduced the burbles quite a bit for the 2022+ models, that's the difference you're hearing if you've heard pre-lci M40i cars previously.
Е60 М5 but not this fart
M5 cs is the best🤣🤣
Certainly would be out of these two's league!
