I like this guy. I like him when he compliments things in a funny way. both goos and bad. keep up the car jokes faam. much love from Lesotho. anyway that bmw is fireeeeeeeeeee
You are so right about bmw interiors. Up until about 3 years ago, BMWs used the same style gauges for about 25 years. BMW was also very late when it came to finished proper looking brake calipers.
Eu sempre gostei mais dos carros da Mercedes, mas neste duelo eu com certeza escolheria o BMW. A mistura perfeita de conforto e esportividade! Um abraço de Moçambique!
Really need to be a fan of a BMW to like it. For me, well there are many other options out there. I had too many reliability issues with BMW to go back. And I love the virtual cockpit of Audi.
Hey Ciro, did you see the new BMW X3 xDrive20d Mzansi Edition? Anyhow, something is not adding up on your channel, you had a video comparing both this silver x3 with a silver glc but the video seem to have somehow disappeared.🤔
Like your reviews. Let’s address the elephant in the room. When are we putting the GLC300 d directly against the bmw 50d for a real world comparison. That’s what we all want to see
I'm more concerned about the big price tag than the big BMW nostrils! If an X3 cost R1 million+ I don't want to see how much an X5 costs in SA! It can't be too long till every BMW in SA is a R1 million+! Back to the big nostrils, I'm going to take a guess that these big nostrils might be a the last hurrah of functional BMW nostrils as BMW integrates more electric vehicle technology into its cars and eventually replaces the majority of petrol and diesel vehicles with pure electric or REX versions.
I have a GLC350d and seeing this BMW just reassures me that I made the right decision. The Merc is better looking in every way even though there aren't digital dials yet but should get when facelifted (Hinted from the facelight of the C Class). And to answer any questions regarding GTI's, pop the Benz into Sport + at the robot and a GTI is yet to beat me... It would be great to review the X3 3l diesel head to head with the Merc GLC 350d. 0.4 seconds boils down to who is sharper at the robot...
GLC is built so cheaply unfortunately. So many cheap plastics everywhere. It's a joke. COMAND may as well be based on software from early 2000. So clunky and user unfriendly.
Ahmed Moosaji while I'm also surprised by a R1 million+ BMW X3 I know very well that anything is only worth what people are prepared to pay. BMW is quite good at making cars that a lot of people are prepared to pay a premium for and from the looks of it BMW won't have a hard time selling this rather good looking product.
non sense comment, for performance, tech , materials and practicality ratio, the price is not expensive, with the design, wow, its spot on. reviewers make the mistake all the time to talk of german cars as if you need to buy the most expensive one, with all the bells and whistles so they make it look expensive. there are equally good cheaper versions, theres no need to tick all the boxes
So slow.....the new Honda CR-V is faster and cheaper:Crv takes 7.0 seconds from 0-100 on the 1.5t variant and the X3 takes over 8 seconds from 0-100...What a Shame!!!!
coladuna did u not do research on the 1.5t variant coz i wrote 1.5t ...the x3 has a 2.0 twin turbo but the crv has a 1.5 turbo only and it is still faster
Naeem Muhammad I think it is you who needs to do proper research. CRV with 1.5L turbo engine does not to 0-100km/h in 7s. Period. CarAdvice quotes 9.9s and performancedrive.com.au quote 8.15s for FWD and 8.5s for the AWD versions. Please enlighten us as to where you are seeing 7s LOL
BMW's interiors still look the same. It looks boring and dated. Might as well be a 1 series in there. No distinguishing features between models. The interior needs major updating. They've fallen way behind.
I work at the BMW plant in South Carolina that makes these and can tell you that their a piece of crap. Consumers wouldn't understand the quick fixes we do on those cars.
If I'm not mistaken SA lost the high volume 3 series and inherited the X3 or one of the BMW X vehicles. I would be happy owning a BMW South Africa built BMW.
Lehlogonolo Maringa LoL no challange on a straight six 3 litre engine... The GTI have a 2 litre 4 cylinder - So the GTI is the more effective wonder. Mind you theres the Golf R with same engine as GTI, that squashes this car with a 0-60 on 4.6 Seconds... & its insane to tune.. People have gotten 0-60 times as insane as 3.5 seconds... Bye bye BMW's... Lol ;)
Lehlogonolo Maringa you are right man. Might be that the torque as it makes 620 NM compared to 350NM. But yeah I guess the panty droppers should be alarmed when they see this one. But an X3 at a mil yikes
I like this guy. I like him when he compliments things in a funny way. both goos and bad. keep up the car jokes faam. much love from Lesotho. anyway that bmw is fireeeeeeeeeee
120d, 320d, E30, 340i, M2 and now X3... its been a journey! Still own the E30 too 😀
195kw? Damn that’s fast. And you can even challenge a GTI? I love it 🔥🔥
One would even mistake it for an X5
Love the background music...and the review, you never disappoint

Hey, mate! Great review, hope you will make an extended one in the future. Way to go!
Killing it with the reviews!
Can't wait to see the comparison video
The spec of my new X3 is based on this one / just so good looking with these rims and this color
Salmon looks fresh 👌. This guy should do top gear!
That salmon shirt is white...
Great review.

No matter what, I love BMW.
Salmon makes your eyes sparkle 😍
I would love to a review of the BMW X3 M40i.
Really need to be a fan of a BMW to like it. For me, well there are many other options out there. I had too many reliability issues with BMW to go back. And I love the virtual cockpit of Audi.
Thks.
That joke he made in the beginning about the 1st x3! I’m finished! ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
As an ex X3 F25 LCI Owner, I like everything about the car except the front design (grille, proportion issue).
if you think this grill is big, DONT look at the new facelifted 7 series
Those German 3 though🔥🔥
Its a SUV of course the grill will be big!!!! Car looks amazing FYM
Hey Ciro, did you see the new BMW X3 xDrive20d Mzansi Edition?
Anyhow, something is not adding up on your channel, you had a video comparing both this silver x3 with a silver glc but the video seem to have somehow disappeared.🤔
Dope Channel
Any pricing estimation of the X3 M40i?
i love Benz but this X3 is really beautiful ..well designed ....still ...i'd never chose it over a Merc...
The side by side comparison was hilarious. It's essentially the same car🤔
Please review the jaguar xf s😭😭
What is the exterior color ?
Like your reviews. Let’s address the elephant in the room. When are we putting the GLC300 d directly against the bmw 50d for a real world comparison. That’s what we all want to see
I don't know why Australian spec Bimmers look always better than the others !
I'm in love with this X3.
I'm completely torn between the X3 30d and the M40i.
What did you end up going with? I’m in the same boat now.
The diesel engine in this is bulletproof
I actually had to stop the video and talk about how big the vents are in front like i thought I was the only one!
Ben BHK omg exactly! I thought it - but I didn’t think much of it until he said it. Those vents are too huge! 🤣
Yooo those grills are very large
I see Ciro i like
Honestly I'd rather have that new Alfa Romeo SUV
I'm more concerned about the big price tag than the big BMW nostrils! If an X3 cost R1 million+ I don't want to see how much an X5 costs in SA! It can't be too long till every BMW in SA is a R1 million+!

Ryan Smith its getting ridiculous really. Soon enough a flipping 320 will cost R 500 000
@@ItumelengS it is now
SALMON BOI
The leather is it real leather because in the E-class AMG you made an emphasis that the leather is man made.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
X5 little brother
4years later and the kidneys are class.
Cool, Jimmy Kimmel, how do you fake the accent?
Haters😂, I am happy with my 2019 X3.
19 dislikes......really???

Wessel Erasmus Agree. The GLC is much better looking and it drives amazingly.
im pulling my hair over which one to get, mercedes is offering some discounts as it is already a 2 year old model.how is your car doing so far?
GLC is built so cheaply unfortunately. So many cheap plastics everywhere. It's a joke. COMAND may as well be based on software from early 2000. So clunky and user unfriendly.
lol love him
I have the same one but in luxury line.Chek my chanel to see how it drifts with this 21 inch individual rims
grills too big!!! HA, wait till you see the X7
The X3 looks very nice,can't wait to see the top spec M vehicle...
xolisa ntando you should hear the exhaust from the X3 M40i. Thank me later!
BMW is Best
you are not bmw fan
NO to the Salmon... meh!
Good reporting... tho, lay off of the cynicism a little - it's so last year.
I think the GLC is still the best. The GLC just drives so well and it looks amazing.
So not worth 1 mil
Typical German rip offs

Naeem Muhammad this has a 0-100 time of 5.8 seconds?
gys du preez I thought this was a 20d
No idea what you are smoking but CRV take 9.9s to 100km/h.
coladuna did u not do research on the 1.5t variant coz i wrote 1.5t ...the x3 has a 2.0 twin turbo but the crv has a 1.5 turbo only and it is still faster

looks terrible

MR DR xAMAZINGx explain? and why are you on a south African channel?
MR DR xAMAZINGx luckily these are built in South Africa as well. 😜
I bet you do lol mercedes fan
Don't say it is crap Intel you own one
If I'm not mistaken SA lost the high volume 3 series and inherited the X3 or one of the BMW X vehicles. I would be happy owning a BMW South Africa built BMW.

Its all about power to weight ratio... so this lard of a car wont even touch the gti
On paper.. this X3 is faster than a GTI 😂
Lehlogonolo Maringa you are right man. Might be that the torque as it makes 620 NM compared to 350NM. But yeah I guess the panty droppers should be alarmed when they see this one. But an X3 at a mil yikes
