Great review. Best color combination on ANY BMW! Absolutely stunning. Great info/detail. Keep up the good work....your reviews are always worth coming back for. Best wishes for the new year Allen!
@@AllenBMWDurham thank you for clarifying! On a related note: on the configurator I don’t see options such as the Drive Recorder nor the 50 year emblems. Are these still possible to add on for this model year?
@@AllenBMWDurham I know but I don’t want to be in sport all the time. :/ I have the m340i 2023 that’s the most annoying feature that it lacks. Everything else awesome!
Great Videos Allen. Im ordering an X3 m40i in mineral white with the shadowline pkg. Mocha vernasca leather. What are your thoughts alpine white versus mineral white...i spec'd the sport differential as well. Blk 20" wheels
BMW should be paying for your reviews.. Sick car!! Getting one in a few weeks do you have the part number for the 50th anniversary badges.?? Ty stay up brother
I personally don’t like the new side vents/lines that replaced the previous fog lights/vents on the front bumper; it takes away the small aggressiveness that it had, IMO.
Glad to see your bronchitis cleared up. It's funny how I was just doing a search on an X3 in Tanzanite blue on Cognac and Tartufu just yesterday. This car is absolutely stunning. Personally, I would have gone with red brake calipers though and a different interior trim but overall it's a beauty.
Thank you for watching and after a grueling 3 weeks of endless coughing with my family all suffering of the same bronchitis bug I had, I'm so happy to be back. This car is lovely and your comment speaks to the beauty of the brand, individual mobility directly crossed with joy.
Thank you for watching! You can still get those tie downs as an option in the tailgate area. Yeah its nice to see restricted options becoming available again.
Thank god. I would have terribly disappointed if there are any changes as I have just bought a 2022 model. Thanks for taking efforts to capture the new ones and posting it for us 🎉
@@AllenBMWDurham just a base trim level with white color, red caliper, 50th anniversary emblem, digital cockpit professional, and more. Unfortunately, i have to wait for awhile.
I just placed and ordered for on a x3M40i on Oct 14th. I have it in the sapphire black with blue calipers , shadowline pkg, M sport diff, upgraded high performance tire non RFT 20’’ jet black wheels , red interior. I didn’t opt out all the features for I really didn’t need all of that tech. I also have to wait awhile as well. My build will be starting in December 😭🥹🤧
Love the color. One thing I’m curious about is how do people run the performance tires in the winter? Do people spend money on winter setups? Buy all seasons? Just seems like expensive options to have to consider.
@@AllenBMWDurham I live in New England so we get some decent weather in the winter. The extra cost of a winter setup for the bmw is what pushed me to a truck. It’s unfortunate because I really like the bmw.
@@AllenBMWDurham I see, good to know how you feel about it. I have a feeling that some cars become too big to be "cool" among people that mostly drive alone, it's like driving a good looking minivan with one passenger :)
Love the X3 M40i LCI, Allen. This and the X5 are best in class for sure. We can throw in the X1 as well. I can't wait to see the LCI X5 and from what I've seen of rendering I won't be disappointed. Thanks for sharing.
It's a shame you didn't make this video on a sunny day because that's when this color really looks good. It looks just plain dull blue on an overcast day. I would never consider paying extra for that color if I only saw it under those lighting conditions.
GLAD TOO see you back after being sick for a bit
Thank you! I'm glad to be back, being sick for 3 weeks was too long for me
I am confused between tanzanite blue and mineral white. Which would be the best while the shadow line package?
Personally I would choose tanzanite over mineral white with or without shadowline
Great review. Best color combination on ANY BMW! Absolutely stunning. Great info/detail. Keep up the good work....your reviews are always worth coming back for. Best wishes for the new year Allen!
Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind comments!
So true!
Where can i find that front plate mount in the US?
go to your local dealer
Is the hands free tailgate available on US models or has it only been optioned out here in the states from what I’ve seen
Should be available in the US also but was a restricted option due to supply chain shortages
I didn’t see the bolstering adjustment, was that a delete?
Thank you for watching! You need Vernasca Leather option to get side bolster adjustment
@@AllenBMWDurham thank you for clarifying! On a related note: on the configurator I don’t see options such as the Drive Recorder nor the 50 year emblems. Are these still possible to add on for this model year?
Can’t resistant to this color.🎉
Tanzanite is so good
but it doesn't have a button to turn off Auto Start/Stop or Auto On/Off
Thank you for watching! It turns off in Sport
@@AllenBMWDurham I know but I don’t want to be in sport all the time. :/ I have the m340i 2023 that’s the most annoying feature that it lacks. Everything else awesome!
Does anyone have any idea why the US version doesn't get the 50th anniversary badge colors? Seems odd to me.
Its an option in Canada

What are your thoughts alpine white versus mineral white...i spec'd the sport differential as well. Blk 20" wheels
Thank you for watching! Mineral white definitely looks nicer than Alpine white hence the paint charge, Mineral White on Mocha will look great!
Allen, this is beautiful beast!
Thank you for watching! It is lovely!

Thank you for watching. 3MQ is the option code but I don't know the part number. Congratulations!
I personally don’t like the new side vents/lines that replaced the previous fog lights/vents on the front bumper;

I like the LCI over the pre-LCI so to each their own! We both like BMWs and RUclips!
Photos?
I don't have any pics, just a whole video
Is it built in Canada? Hands free tailgate, laser lights, gesture controls and ambient lights in the door pockets are not offering in USA models
Thank you for watching! X3 built in USA, we had restrictions earlier this year on all those but I think we can get them now.
@@AllenBMWDurham Thanks for the reply, But I still didn’t see the options in USA website for laser lights and kick to open tail gate.
Glad I subscribed to your channel! This color is so beautiful. Tempting to get this instead of white now😅
Thank you for watching! Tanzanite Blue>Alpine White for me but Alpine White Price>Tanzanite Blue Price lol
멋져요!!
감사합니다

Aren’t the lashing rails in the trunk an option anymore?
Also glad to see that hands-free tailgate option is becoming available again!
Thank you for watching! You can still get those tie downs as an option in the tailgate area. Yeah its nice to see restricted options becoming available again.
@@AllenBMWDurham I thought that was a part of the storage package. Learned something new!
Hey Allen, any differences between 2022 and 2023 models? I see nothing… What do you think?
Thank you for watching! No there are no scheduled changes for 2023 X3, but still wanted to share to show that indeed is the case
Thank god. I would have terribly disappointed if there are any changes as I have just bought a 2022 model.
Thanks for taking efforts to capture the new ones and posting it for us 🎉
@@krishnakanth4328 2025 there will be a new X3
Just placed an order 2 weeks ago. I cant wait to have it.
Thank you for watching and congratulations! What spec did you order?
@@AllenBMWDurham just a base trim level with white color, red caliper, 50th anniversary emblem, digital cockpit professional, and more. Unfortunately, i have to wait for awhile.

No lumbar on passenger?
Correct

Most people in Canada buy winter wheels/tires
@@AllenBMWDurham I live in New England so we get some decent weather in the winter. The extra cost of a winter setup for the bmw is what pushed me to a truck. It’s unfortunate because I really like the bmw.
This is a gorgeous vehicle.
Thank you for watching! Indeed!
Is it a better choice for a single young guy than let's say X5 or GLE-450?
I think so, no need for the extra space, save X5 for when you have a familiy
@@AllenBMWDurham I see, good to know how you feel about it. I have a feeling that some cars become too big to be "cool" among people that mostly drive alone, it's like driving a good looking minivan with one passenger :)

X5 LCI will be a handsome car
Do u think painting my GLE in this Tanzanite blue will look good, lol..
No, get a BMW lol
Piękna , moje marzenie , nie chcesz podarować jej i przesłać do Polski ? Będę oglądał Twoje filmy do końca życia :)
Thank you so much! If we could ship it to Poland for you it would!
Hey Allen, can you lease this for 24 months?
Thank you for watching! You can certainly lease this for 24 months.

Thank you for watching! I have many videos in many settings of BMWs in Tanzanite blue. Check them out
I wish the Cognac Leather was more tan/beige. IMO it is too pumpkin. Otherwise an awesome looking vehicle.
Thank you for watching! You should select Oyster interior then if you want it more beige
