Great video. Nice to see how enthusiastic you are! I own almost that exact vehicle, black metallic with black 20 inch rims. Sold my 2021 Audi S4 to get into the 2024 BMW X3 M 40i. Thought I might be sacrificing performance going from the Audi, but wow, was I wrong! What a blast this is to drive! shout out to your parents and grandparents for also owning one! When will it be your turn? Keep up the good work.
This is my first time seeing a review on this channel. I have a 2023 X3 M40i and you really nailed it on this video! It's an exceptional vehicle and your detailed observations and commentary is incredible. I learned a lot today and I have been driving this for a year! Well done...
Your pace and overall flow of delivery is truly impressive. I review cars myself so I’m taking notes! Great review, I’m hoping to upgrade to an M40i at the end of my lease
Totally agree with BMW's oil change interval is much too long...as you suggest, I have an oil change done 1/2 way between the BMW specified changes. I would never take a vehicle, let alone our x3 M40i, to a quick change/"Jiffy Lube" establishment. Do not want amateurs touching it. Fortunate to have a trusted dealer who takes my FCP Euro Liqui Moly 0w20 oil change kit and does the oil changes without resetting the CBS so I retain my 3 BMW paid oil changes.
I've been driving BMW since 2011 and just ordered my sixth one. I get the oil changed, at the dealership, when the car tells me it's time and have never had a problem. Just my two cents but I believe the German guys in the white coats at BMW know the appropriate intervals 👍
@@robmotown1 Perhaps at one time it was worth my effort, no longer. I let the dealership do it with my choice of oil and filter...and they get to keep the "mess" and old oil.
The grey metallic is gorgeous, mine is the same. Most important option to me though is the Harmon Kardon audio, it's an absolute must have, imo, Also the Advanced Driver Assistance Professional Package with hands free Traffic Jam Assistant is great in stop and go traffic.
I have a '22, exact color combo and equipment, and have loved every mile! Was going to order a '25 but hate the interior/i8 screen so had my dealer find me a '24 which is coming in a couple weeks. In the vid you were correct that there are no subs in the rear but with the premium HK system there are subs under the front seats. Great vid on an amazing car!
Love the laid back, smoothness of ur review. I definitely would have loved a more detailed description of the b58 engine's reliability. As it has been quoted as being BMW's best inline six ever. Maybe u'll give a review on the engine alone but great job overall and plz keep up the great work 👍👍👍. Will start follow...
Like you I also film with my iPhone, your video clarity is really good couldn’t tell it’s an iPhone if I didn’t see your reflection, I bought several cameras and still return it to use my iPhone
Do not take this vehicle to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. At least take it to a shop that specializes in these cars. It's not worth the gamble after spending $70,000. Love the channel.
It’s a good motor, but at that price point there are really nice alternatives with far more powerful engines. This M40i is the best in its price point but I wouldn’t say the same about the 30i 👍🏼
I’ve own this car for over a year. It’s excellent, very fast and luxurious. The only issue that I have is the seats do not have good side bolsters. And they don’t allow you to get the power side bolsters. When you’re flying around corners in this X3, which you will do because it has almost 400 hp, you will say why didn’t they put bolsters?
To be fair, I have a 2023, while its thrilling and fun, it is neither a comfortable or a luxurious ride. However, the roads where I live are considerably worse than the ones you are driving on. But on poor roads, the car is a little overly stiff and other options like the Macan are more comfortable, albeit at a different price point to match performance.
I’d like to know how your parents got $4k off msrp. I’ve been looking at the 2024 x3 for several months. I asked for $1500 off the sticker of a $77k 2024 x3 and was told they could give me nothing more than $100 off. I walked away and they called back a week later with “good news” that they could give me $250 off if I’d be willing to trade in my x5, which I have no interest in doing. I laughed and have been looking into out of state dealerships.
I think it was closer to $3500 but my grandparents also bought one so it was more of a packaged deal. Going at the end of the month usually helps too especially this January in FL bc they extended their end of the year sale by a month. Their initial offer was actually a $1500 discount that we ended up getting another $2000 off of.
His POV drive isn't my favorite anymore. I prefer the way he did it in the past but I understand why he has that odd angle and field of view - gotta hide that speedometer!
This was just too short of a suction cup bracket, I didn’t realize how short it was until I started editing but I have a new one for all future reviews! 👍🏼
@@matheusborges9969 good for you dear :) Anyways I was only trying to save at least some folks some trouble and not lose money like I did. I traded mine for a M550i and I’m happy with it. Over and out!
Also wondering about the sound system which was glossed over. This looks and drives great but I know with certainty that the Audi equivalents can be had with amazing Bang &Olufsen sound.
@kenfrankel3498 Hi, I've got a 2017 Audi S3 Prestige with B&O sound and just got a 2024 BMW X3 M40i with the Harmon Kardon system. Though they're fairly close, I prefer the Harmon Kardon . More and deeper bass, and more power in general. The surround feature is actually quite nice in the system, which I usually don't prefer in car audio.

These are amazing vehicles. Superb drivetrains that are now reliable.
Great video with details of this M40i 👍I Got 2023 in Brooklyn grey fun SUV.

I've never seen you have so much fun Will! That engine sounds so awesome. Great review!
I just got mine in Brooklyn Gray. Great review. Such a fun car to drive and like you said you just hit that comfort button to have a luxury ride.
I own a 21 M340i xDrive and a 23 X3 M40i xDrive for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Incredible vehicles! Love them!
I just got both. .these car were fantastic
Hi . Can you tell me if the ride îs fermer then în a normal x3 with adaptive suspension ?
Yes it's firmer than the normal X3 but got good handling
Your pace and overall flow of delivery is truly impressive. I review cars myself so I’m taking notes! Great review, I’m hoping to upgrade to an M40i at the end of my lease

Why don’t you change the oil yourself.???? It’s literally one of the most simple things to do on a car.!!!
@@robmotown1 Perhaps at one time it was worth my effort, no longer. I let the dealership do it with my choice of oil and filter...and they get to keep the "mess" and old oil.
Very nice…my ‘23 is totally loaded and without tax $70… with tax $80!!! Your parents and grand parents have excellent taste…lol!!!❤
Have owned 2 of these - they're more or less the best value you can get for this price point, in all aspects
The grey metallic is gorgeous, mine is the same. Most important option to me though is the Harmon Kardon audio, it's an absolute must have, imo, Also the Advanced Driver Assistance Professional Package with hands free Traffic Jam Assistant is great in stop and go traffic.
Thanks for the thorough video. I decided to buy this same X3 tonight except without the 21" wheels but with the Harmon Kardon system.
THAT Spirited driving was fire
Another point why we went with the x3 over the x4 was the ride. We were shocked how much smoother the x3 ride was.
Insane vehicle dude.
One day, you will get this bmw x3 m40i

Very detailed review and recommendation...great job.
what is the exact color of the car in the video? Great review..

What about the M sport Differential option? Is it worth it. Here in Canada, this is a 1300$ option.
BEEN WAITING FOR U TO REVIEW THIS CARRR
I don’t believe the 2025 X3 M50 will be better than this.
The 2025 X3 M50 has a boxy design similar to the XM EV, but it no longer features aggressive looks.
Where can I find detailed info about x3 m40i 2025? Just want to compare the difference
Is the spare tire accessed in the trunk like most vehicle’s?
Like you I also film with my iPhone, your video clarity is really good couldn’t tell it’s an iPhone if I didn’t see your reflection, I bought several cameras and still return it to use my iPhone
Great review and delivery!

I was told the 4 cylinder in the X3 was not a good choice. What’s your pro and cons on that engine.
It’s a good motor, but at that price point there are really nice alternatives with far more powerful engines. This M40i is the best in its price point but I wouldn’t say the same about the 30i 👍🏼
The door storage Stacking 3 footlongs was the selling point for me
BMW x3 m40i and Mercedes amg GLB 35
Which one is better ?
X3 40i
Amazing review Will.
I’ve own this car for over a year. It’s excellent, very fast and luxurious. The only issue that I have is the seats do not have good side bolsters. And they don’t allow you to get the power side bolsters. When you’re flying around corners in this X3, which you will do because it has almost 400 hp, you will say why didn’t they put bolsters?
I believe they do if you upgrade to leather. The side bolsters were deleted on lower optioned vehicles due to Covid-related supply shortages.
I have leather and they didn’t come with them.
@@marketingsuccess2637the real leather man is what u need and it does come with it
Price is without VAT, right?
Great review!
beautiful spec!
What color is that?
Great Footage 😊
What do you mean this the final year for the 3rd generation?

But on poor roads, the car is a little overly stiff and other options like the Macan are more comfortable, albeit at a different price point to match performance.
whoever doing 10k mile oil change shouldn't be driving at all. Beautiful car btw.
Beautiful Car
Sounds good

Also, consider getting a low mileage CPO vehicle even for a 2024. You’ll be surprised how much of a discount you can get.
@@richardhill8969 Hi, what is CPO pls?
Certified-pre-owned@@spoiler9112
There is no AND before a decimal point
Don’t ever take this to a jiffy lube.
My next car.

YAY! You're the best - thanks for all your videos... Hopefully you'll hit 100,000 subs this year!
The best X BMW makes! :)
Sure you did.
yeah right u did brokeass mf
i feel the exact opposite of you
@@matheusborges9969 good for you dear :)
Anyways I was only trying to save at least some folks some trouble and not lose money like I did. I traded mine for a M550i and I’m happy with it. Over and out!
You just blablablabla
Personally I think the GV70 3.5T is better but great car
My Mazda CX 5 had double pane windows 😂 wtf is this in BMW
Also wondering about the sound system which was glossed over. This looks and drives great but I know with certainty that the Audi equivalents can be had with amazing Bang &Olufsen sound.
CX5 and X3m40 are polar opposites. X3M40 is 10 leagues above Mazda is driving, comfort, performance, speed, etc.

Looks dated. Need a new design
