Hey everyone! We’d like to thank you all for clarifying the engine code. We’re not sure where we read this being the N55 motor but it’s definitely the B58. We’re not perfect and sometimes small details like this will slip through the cracks. We apologize for the mistake, hope everyone is having a great Sunday and thanks for watching!
I Seriously HATE automatic tilt and telescope. You saw how quickly you were able to adjust it manually. Automatic means something else that can go wrong and is expensive to fix. It stinks to high heaven when you cant adjust something because its electric motors are broken. Please stop insisting on this issue for the steering wheel it drives me crazy :DDDD
Picked up my 2019 x3 m40i about a month ago. I am in love with it. It's been proven that the B58 in this car actually makes close to 420hp at the crank and I feel it. (Dinan dyno'd it at 445hp and others dyno'd around 400hp @ crank) Those who are saying he pushed back when he used launch control... he did not. He leaned slightly forward and relaxed himself to actually show us him getting pushed back by acceleration. I get pushed back like that every time I use LC.
@@nickmotsarsky4382 that's what i thought when i first got the car. Make sure to build up your boost when using your LC. Don't release your brakes as soon as you see the "launch control enabled" message. Launch it when you RPM at around 3000.
@@hyunkang5628 I try, but often it doesn't launch hard. It almost seems like the brake release gets delayed. It's weird. Flooring it on your own with the brakes on is how I do it most times, without touching the stability control button. It does build boost that way too.
@@naturalbornhuman3450 No I do not. My lease ended about a little over year ago. All maintenance was included in my lease so I paid zero over 3 years. I had Zero problem with the car and thats with intake, downpipe and piggy back tune that able my m40i to do 3.9sec 0-60 consistently.
@Sofyan Really impressed with how far along this channel has come. You're surgical in your reviews and you've really finessed the craft. Love it! Keep them coming!
You can recline the back seat. Nice amenity. It’s a B58 Engine not the N55 is done for the most part. The B58 is reinforced for more boost. A variant will be in the X3M and it’s coming with the X4M. Source BMWNA’s website. Audio glass on the interior for a quiet ride is worth mentioning. 50/50 weight distribution helps with it being faster in real life vs on paper specs. The interior color is Cognac.
yazkaz I could be wrong but from what I have always heard a moon roof was one that didn’t open all the way or at all and a sunroof opens up slides back for a breeze on a hot Summer day
I’ve gotten 340 As a loaner and let me Say makes my 2”11 335 feel slow - the b58 motor is amazing and Toyota is using it in the Supra so that said a lot
I just picked one up. You’re right, no need for the full M. I test drove one and it is faster up top but the m40i is better down low. Also the m40i is a far more comfortable ride and sips gas compared to the M.
Great review and believe this is the best SUV in it's class. Ventilated seats is offered as an extra option. Price is in the same range as the Audi Q5 and MB GLC.
Stanley Chen Thanks for clarifying that! We’re not sure where we read this motor being the N55 but we’re not perfect and we screw sometimes! Sorry everyone.
I'd say this is one of the best driving cars in the class , but personally in this segment , the Macan , sq5 , and this would be three I choose. Lexus hasn't done much with the nx , not much can be said about the qx50 since it has a cvt. Acura hasn't released the type s rdx yet, the mkc is stuck in the past , and the xt4 is just getting started.
Jordan Catcher I have the GLC43 AMG crossover and it’s faster than them all. Comfortable and well built. My decision was a lot easier after I drive all three.
sounds really sweet with those little crackles and pops and looks so good p.s when I get my first car I will watch your videos to get the car that fits me best
That engine start button placement annoys me too! And I find it entertaining people that dont own the car are judging you for the launch reaction... did they expect something less from a "launch?"
I drove a car that got under 30 mpg highway on a road trip with a friend last month...made me thank my lucky stars I drive a car that gets 45 mpg highway and still has lots of power. I'll never go back.
Nikki De La Cruz that’s why people lease German cars. C’mon. And besides when you buy these you aren’t thinking depreciation. You are selling to wealthy folks. Not a worry. I love mine. Leased it in April. I lease all my cars one after another
aayan goverski cooled seats are available just limited to certain colors, manual steering wheel is fine trust me, how often do you move your steering wheel? Also less things to break.
Cars with manual steering adjust r over 100k mostly, and ventilated seats r mostly limited and optional even on this level. BMW builds the best engine and aiming for performance, not to get you nicer steering wheels and comfortable seats lmao what tf you on about
I've been meaning to ask this question...your camera man is looking at his watch when he's filming. is that an iwatch and what camera is he using that you can see what your filming on your watch? Thanks.
We need a review for new BMW X1 2018 or 2019 from redline now. I am waiting for a very long time. We would love what redline has to say about that even smaller SUV.
sir this is not "basically a N55", this is the B58. the M2 (pre LCI) is a bad example, the supra (which carries the same motor as this x3 m40i) is also a B58, and a better reference.
I thought the 360 view camera image quality is better than Lexus, since people keep on saying that it looks so crisp. But actually looks kind of similar to Lexus's quality image.
Sofyan when are you gonna get the chance to review the amg C and S class coupes. Really loookin forward to you reviewing the C63s and the gorgeous interior. Love your reviews
Why does no one compare this to the Porsche Macan S? I know the Porsche is a lot more money (~$65k vs ~$80k) but it's a similar segment and something I am cross shopping
Once again nice video knowledgeable and being honest bout different cars. Appreciate the videos keep up the great work . When will you do a review on the DODGE Durango SRT?
Honestly this is getting out of hand. I understand companies have to make money but come on. Adaptive cruise is not here! Manual steering! Like really. At this price. People need to stop buy them. Then they will give us what we really want.
when you're talking about rear leg space, sitting behind your own driver's seat setting, you should mention how tall you are. Saying "it's roomy" doesn't really help us.
Isn’t a bit late reviewing this car now? You look like you rushed through this review. I got the x3 3.0. With the 248 Hp 4 cyl turbo and it has plenty of power. Don’t waste your money with this m40. Otherwise great sav.
The inline six has legendary reliability. Now as all far as the sensors and saftey gadgets and high tech its anyone's guess. I bought a loaded X3 30i (4 cylinder version) and its is suppost to be pretty reliable. At least most of the big issues have been fixed. The timing chain was the biggest issue a few years back. I've had mine for 7 months and not a single issue. Now the M40i is the high performance version and will have more crap to go wrong IMO. The 30i has enough power for me. 0-60 in just over 6 seconds.

It's not an N55 engine, it's the better B58. Other than that, great review 👍🏻

I reviewed this last year. This thing pops like crazy! It's a great combo between a sporty/fun, and practical suv.
its truly the perfect car...it sounds so mean too
Hey man, thanks for all the great car reviews over the years.
Its actually a B58. Also, you missed the 3D camera system. They do offer ventilated seats
@Sofyan Really impressed with how far along this channel has come. You're surgical in your reviews and you've really finessed the craft. Love it! Keep them coming!
I confuse this new X3 for the current X5 sometimes, it looks just as big to me lol.
Almost the same size
It's as big as the older X5's for sure.
Nah the new X5 makes this x3 look small
@@elliotsw8 i tried both, the front seat is the same.
the back seat and the cargo is bigger on X5. both great car
I just ordered a m40i and they do not come with those wheels, that is an extra cost. They come with the 19in bi color grey m sport wheels.

Not in the RDX. In the X3
It’s the B58 engine (40i)
@yazkaz quite bad in my opinion to get This wrong. You have one job..
ALL PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE ALWAYS CALLED IT A SUNROOF . I AGREE ON HOW HE COULD GET THE ENGINE WRONG .
yazkaz I could be wrong but from what I have always heard a moon roof was one that didn’t open all the way or at all and a sunroof opens up slides back for a breeze on a hot Summer day
Aaaah the new Supra engine
You should have put it into sport mode and THEN rev it. It pops like crazy. Great car, too expensive for me so I settled for the 340i X drive.

Did someone say BMW X4 @ 3:59?! tsk tsk tsk
I also caught that.
That hand grabbing the coffee cup in the backseat totally spooked me.
It's a B58 engine not a N55 XD...
Stanley Chen Thanks for clarifying that! We’re not sure where we read this motor being the N55 but we’re not perfect and we screw sometimes! Sorry everyone.
Nice review! comfort wise, is it x3 m40i or Glc amg 43? I like fast SUV but I am getting old, need a fast but comfortable daily driver.
I own an X3 and love it. I'm amazed at how people love to race me. 🏎️
I'm just curious as where would you slot the Stelvio in comparison to the X3 M40i and the rest of the competition?
Beautiful crossover , potent engine , luxurious interior , and BMW truly epitomizes EXCELLENT DRIVING DYNAMICS!

tell your camera man to stop jumping up to 8ft and then down to 2ft every minute, other then that - good review
You are the best. Thanks for all your honest reviews and opinions.
the camera on the ceiling should probably be lower so that the viewers could see the road better? but a good review for sure!
Creepy hand in rear @ 15:37
Adaptive cruise optional? That's standard on a Corolla... How luxurious
@@cleanlude pay to play? Sound like a gamble. No thanks, depreciation is your worst enemy in these cars.
@@cleanlude Sounds like uppity talk. But you're definitely right! Not for everyone! ✌️
go get a corolla and eat bmw's dust lol
How is cruise control optional now ? You’re right that’s not luxury
Nikki De La Cruz that’s why people lease German cars. C’mon. And besides when you buy these you aren’t thinking depreciation. You are selling to wealthy folks. Not a worry. I love mine. Leased it in April. I lease all my cars one after another
You can get cooled seats but you need to seats with the perforations and in my opinion, it doesn't look as good as the regular ones.
It's a shame how Bmw haven't payed attention to some important details. Like the manual steering wheel adjustment, no cool seat,

Hello. I heard a facelift is coming. Is that true? Should I wait for the 2022 x3?
Best car review channel ever
Sweet B roll :)
Will you be doing a review on the new 3 series in the near future??
Best X3 review!!! Looking forward to a LCI review
The 18 and 19 are the best years, new ones exhaust sounds pretty shit in comparison.
Hi Boss. May I ask u this. As your review model 2018 with M40i on top but why sometimes I saw 2018 M40i locate on bottom? Thanks which one right
Good fully comprehensive review and filming.

well done. your impressions are close to mine. i'm enjoying the m40i so far. outperforms the GLC43, and you get more tech for about 5k less.
The B58 is legendary!!
I thought the 360 view camera image quality is better than Lexus, since people keep on saying that it looks so crisp. But actually looks kind of similar to Lexus's quality image.
Infiniti really screw it up with the new qx50 when you look at this
The previous fx35 looked a lot better.
@@Nestle245 i agree! And alot sportier! A v6.and a v8 with a 7 speed...not a.cvt...wtf

Good review! 👍 btw when can we see an X4?
You didn’t even kick the shifter into S mode, that should make it shift even faster.
Great vehicle. I have a 2019. Wish I had the adaptive cruise control but do have front ventilated seats and HUD.
Fun to drive as well.
You forgot to put the transmission into sport 😜 gotta put it in drive and slap it into the left.
It’s really nice... but is it worth $65k? Not for me 🙁
Best value in class. All its competitors cost this much or more.

Damn that kickback was hella exaggerated 😂. Still a fun little suv for sure. I’d take one any day.
It wasn't. I have one. Owners have gotten 0-60 times as low as 3.9 seconds stock. With launch control it launches hard.
@@nickmotsarsky4382 ya it does launch nice
This review almost tells nothing to the average buyer. The vast majority of buyers in this segment opt for the 4 bangers.
Dang 2021 now have 382hp 😍
That signature grill of BMW really is attractive huh?😁
Is this a good reliable car?
The inline six has legendary reliability. Now as all far as the sensors and saftey gadgets and high tech its anyone's guess. I bought a loaded X3 30i (4 cylinder version) and its is suppost to be pretty reliable. At least most of the big issues have been fixed. The timing chain was the biggest issue a few years back. I've had mine for 7 months and not a single issue. Now the M40i is the high performance version and will have more crap to go wrong IMO. The 30i has enough power for me. 0-60 in just over 6 seconds.
Damn the infotaiment screen is a glare demon lol lol
