- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- With millions of CUVs flying off lots there is no doubt, quantities are not limited. However, as good as many of the affordable options are from Mazda, Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota, many buyers are looking for more luxury and refinement. So jumping to a premium brand like Audi, Mercedes and BMW make sense. We try to break down the pros and cons of stepping up to the BMW X3 30i.

I love so much that savage is such a straight shooter. Not afraid to tell you the truth. Easily my favorite thing about his reviews
The amount of work you put in to your videos is really admirable such an excellent job
Equal to the amount of work the owner will put in when this vehicle breaks.
I love BMW looks, in and out. Some years ago I wanted to buy a used one. I found a 5-series so beautifully maintained despite its 100K miles, it looked like new, in every detail. Turns out its owner was a BMW master mechanic. He asked me, "Are you good with maintaining BMWs?", I said, "No". He asked, "Do you have a good friend who is a BMW mechanic?", I said, "No". He said, "Get an Accord".
It's not that complicated... It's also not unreliable. I have 2 e90s for 4 years (now at 130k) and an f30, and all of them operate incredibly well and have never left me stranded once. A few parts to fix here and there like any car, but no catastrophic failures of any kind, and nothing I haven't done myself. I'm assuming you're someone who just doesn't or has never turned their own wrenches for any of their cars? 🤔 What I'm saying is if you have done it with and four other cars you can do it till BMW.
"I'm assuming you're someone who just doesn't or has never turned their own wrenches" - I spent much of my childhood assisting my dad who considered horizontal position under his cars and diving under the hood to be prime time entertainment. I have a life now, more work than I care for, and playing an amateur grease monkey is not the pastime I look forward to. So far my cars have not required it (mostly Fords and Toyotas). I intend to keep it that way.
I did, too. But then I opened the hood of my boyfriend's Mini cooper. Yikes! It took us 4 days of searching and getting frustrated and coming back to look again the next day to find the cabin air filter and then we found out we bought the wrong one. I wish it were as easy to work on as a Toyota or Ford.
mountainhobo well I bought a lovely 100k mile E91 320D Touring and it’s been so reliable for the 19k miles I’ve had it. If that car needed pro level maintenance he’d done something untoward or knew of a fault.
mountainhobo they "don't require it?" All cars require regular maintenance. Those cars maybe a little less so- but of course, you're getting a lot less car with a Toyota or Ford, so what do you expect. 🤗
This is easily the best Auto channel out there! Only found this channel a week ago. Why did I not find this earlier!? As an engineer, I love seeing the technical side of the review which is so hard to find in auto reviews! This is way better than Doug Demuro or Redline or Shmee! (these channels are for kids, who don't understand the technical aspects) Keep up the great work.
I bought one of these because of this review. Seriously great stuff! No one else talks about the underside of cars and why luxury manufacturers like BMW are different than a Ford or Kia. Thank you!
This car fucks! Have had a 2020 xdrive 30i for about 6 months now, only complaint is that it is a little slow off the line. Sometimes has me wishing for the m40i, but got a great deal for a loaner on the smaller engine
Edit: I NEED MORE MONEY! STAT!
How is the car now?
@@Max-mc6fwProbably a 36 months lease and it’s already on its 2nd or 3rd owner.
Best review of BMW X3 I’ve seen - and I’ve looked at loads! Thanks.
Excellent Review. Having owned several modern BMWs with iDrive it does a good job of presenting the often used functions in an easily accessible way YET lets you configure / adjust in a granular way. If you were an owner of the X3, you would probably choose not to enable the HUD initially and never need to re-enable it. Modern cars let you set them up to your needs and in many cases tie the setting to your fob so they are memorized. Welcome to the modern age - more choices are a good thing.
It's really inspiring to see you refine your talent over time in storyboarding your videos, the choice of music selections, and the layers of editing you use to create your 'story' and present your message. It never goes unnoticed and is very much appreciated.
Your audio and camera quality has really gotten good - you have removed the sense of a 'camera and microphone' and have upped your game and I will show my appreciation on your Patreon site in April. All the best....
Holy shit I was in the middle of binge watching savagegeese and a new video pops up! LET THE BINGE CONTINUE!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Really enjoying the music you choose for your videos. Love it!! Great review!
this is the best BMW X3 review i have ever seen
Great production SG. Worth the wait!
the best review I came across and believe me, I've been through the entire youtube of reviews...
Love the new piano music! Adds and meshes well with your production quality
love your reviews man, you and redline are the only guys I really like who do car reviews. You helped sell me on the second gen CX5 and now I just watch your videos for other cars because of how entertaining they are even though I have no intention of buying!
This video is one of the best I’ve seen. Professional big production channels don’t even do this good of reviews. Thank you.
The shot at 18:58 to 19:01 is amazing .. Really amazing attention to detail
yea it almost looked fake, like a video game cinematic scene
He first introduced this shot in his Durango SRT review intro.
I love that you put a lot of efforts on the videography besides the review itself. I really enjoy your beautiful footage and insightful review.
THAT was a great video! Thanks heaps mate! We’re picking one up tomorrow at 10.30 and this was (seriously) the best, most informative video I’ve come across. Loved the undercarriage show and tell! Keep up the good work!!..... Subscribed.
Incredibly professional review, goes straight up to favorites!
Dude, your reviews are spot on. I really appreciate the straight up and conscientious approach. You have it dialed-in to the max, kinda like I would review cars if I did this sort of thing! Thanks for what you do.
quality review ! Good cinematic camera movement , great information. Thank you
I own on of these X3, I 've seen hundreds of reviews about them. Let me tell you that this is the best and the most honest review amongst any other I saw. Thanks!!
Great car and a great review 😁
Most honest and calming review for this crossover I’ve ever seen. Subbed! 😊
It’s always a good day when you upload, great review as always Mark!
Awesome film making skills Peter !
Awesome 30 min review and its not boring..full of relevant info👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
By a street mile ... this video is the best piece of information sharing about the BMW X3 on RUclips. The depth of both criticism and praise for different elements of the entire process is good and accentuates the way in which it was executed. It shows a deep level of knowledge and know-how, and reasons for doing things in engineering terms. It shows a gracious approach to the brand marque and is neither cynical nor over the top. I immediately related to quite a few comments made, and especially about the high-tech infotainment system ... but luckily for me, even though I'm retirement age I am an engineer with experience in computers/iphones and digital general, so I guess for me easier to absorb. But the comments are very accurate about everything, especially the digital systems. I chased around looking for a good video, as I intended to look to buy an X3 ... and buy one I did, mostly after much thought and several sessions on this video. Thank you for being "structural" and unsympathetic in your video, but at the same time ... telling it as it is, unlike some of the other supergloss trade videos and car magazine efforts. I bought a 2019 BMW X3 M40D and have to say, yes there's an awefull lot to go wrong ... but at the moment it's an awesome SUV and simply love it ... after learning how to fly it.
Love your reviews, it’s very classy
The production quality on these videos keeps on baffling and impressing me time and time again considering how small the team is. Congratulations! This channel deserves way more subscribers than it already has.
I've been seeing reviews for a while. Different "journalists" dedicated exclusively to test cars and give a verdict that let the consumer know if he would be making a good or a bad purchase. But I think you take it to another level. I appreciate the dedication you put into this.
P.S. I hope that the navigation system of the X3 works and you find a very good gentlemen's club.
absolutely great and beautiful cinematography.
Dude you're by far 1 of the best Auto reviewers I have ever seen on the Tube! Enjoyed this and your other video reviews, like that you are straight up and tell it like it is, so please keep on doing your thing brother!!
Another great video!
Best X3 review ever! Finally a review that mentions the amazing steering! 👍
Damn, it's about time you posted another video!
Good Job man ! Il it one of my favorite vidéo on new bmw x3 2018 !
that door shot near 19 min was awesome, totally stealing that if ever in need. keep up the fantastic work!
First time I’ve watched this channel,what a fantastic review!
What a great addition to the videos. The brake down of costly add-ons that put the car in perspective is great. 1:59 Please keep doing that.
Thats the plan on future videos.
Thanks for the thoroughness and engineering depth of your review, especially the “in the shop” section! It really differentiates your videos and is very helpful for people like me who really want to understand a car before buying. Excellent!
I never really comment on youtube but this video deserves one. Such an amazing review , the picture quality the sound the editing all amazing good job.
I watch a lot of car reviews and yours are hands down the best. The cinematography and music is top notch. You cover all the important features of the vehicle, you are not reticent to criticize something you think could be better. I appreciate you pointing out the various mechanical bits and the enhancements when the vehicle is on the hoist. You close with your final thoughts which provides a useful summary for the viewer. Plus, you have a great sense of humour and trigger a smile and laugh now and then. Great job! I look forward to your next review.
Excellent review as usual.
Love that you included the packages on the car. I was thinking to myself a little while back, nobody ever says what packages are on the car. You see a car review, and the reviewers say "Oh, this feature and this feature are great!" Then, when you go to the showroom or the spec sheet, you figure out you need to option everything out to unlock those features.
Muffin Racing Yeah, if a journalist has a press car just assume it's loaded or nearly loaded. Automakers rarely give base models to journalists.
this intro put me to tears. Your quality is next level!
Absolutely love this these reviews, so logically written and polished, as well as entertaining! Great work. 😊
Even if you made gardening videos or something, I'd still watch it.
Keep it up man, really good review video!
Nobody blends sport into ALL of their models like BMW. The interior looks classy. Yes the Mercedes interiors look fancy but how will they age?
They seem to be too busy.
Man, you are the only one that i know that gets into long term ownership. cudos to you!
Great review and attention to detail. Thank you Peter.
Fantastic review :D
Another excellent video review
What a brilliant review !!!, clear, precise and honest. I’ve just ordered one to replace my brilliant GLA Mercedes Benz and after watching this video....I can’t wait !!!.
Watching your reviews from Malaysia. So much info, it's been extremely helpful.
Very well thought and balanced review. Bravo mate !
I watch all your reviews. I agree that your reviews, overall, are the best. You make a great team.
Beautiful work as always.
Best X3 walk-through on RUclips.
Amazing takes, great review!!
Very honest review and I liked it. Thanks again!
Just discovered your channel. Great review, very thorough, good information on the negatives as well as the positives
Great job. Your videos keep getting better. great filming and production.
Thank you, a ton of effort and care go into making them. Its rare I just make a video for the sake of it unless the vehicle is straight up junk.
The quality of reviews/production on this channel is phenomenal!
Very fine review presentation. Thank you.👍
I'm 1:39 in and reminded again why this is the best review channel on RUclips.
Thanks for the detailed review Savage! Its a lovely city/out of town drive SUV! Cheers
@11:28 there’s a fix to this. If you use a certain function often in the menu and you want to get to it with a physical button, you can save it as a preset (1-8 keys) by just holding down on the preset button.
Wow, most detailed review I've seen by far. Couldn't decide between this and the new Disco Sport - think you just made up my mind!
Excellent review!!! Thank you!!!
18:55 to 19:01 What an unexpected camera angle/ ride, very well done.
I curiously followed the link to your homepage, this outstanding production value of yours makes sense now... as does subscribing!
lovely review, helpful, thanks!
Another excellent review Mr. Goose. You are the most unbiased car reviewer on RUclips.
It is just a matter of time until one of those grill slats malfunctions and overheats the engine on a summer day.
been meaning to comment for
awhile.. you top all other want to be automobile reviewers.. great work!!!
Thank you for that amazing, NO BS, straightforward, to the point and in-depth critical review. You are possibly the first video I've seen that shot underneath the car - a place no reviewer goes or talks about. To talk about it is one thing but to take the camera there and show what is being talked about is another. So thank you! Please do a similar review if you haven't yet on the BMW X3 M40i - would love to know what you think about the M version of this SUV. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Absolutely magnificent SAV
Great review
Awesome review
Yes, another upload by you!!

Best RUclips car reviews.. Just wish they came with more frequency
gladdy02 Quality takes time. I dont want to know how long his 30min vids take to shoot and edit
O I agree, I love his videos and quality. I understand it takes time to get the cars for as long as he wants and to do the shooting and editing. I think it's worth it though.
Very informative and conclusive.
Thanks so much for such a balanced review of the BMW X3. I owned a 2012 version of the X3 and really enjoyed it. I understand your comments about the iDrive, but honestly once you live with the vehicle for a month, you get to understand the logic of the menus and it gets easier. On BMW's website there are short videos about all the different features of the car and how to make adjustments. My advice is to embrace the technology and use it. BMW puts a lot of really thoughtful features in their cars that never make it on reviews of them. A simple, but nice feature is Triple Flash (I think that's what they call it). You tap the blinkers once and they flash three times. Nice feature when you're changing lanes.
Anyway this is getting long. Thanks again for the fair review.
What a thoughtfully detailed and intelligent review.
You, my friend, make the best reviews. intelligent and critical.
best car reviews on youtube, period.
your the best savage. keep up the vids
Thanks for the incredible review. Waivered between the GLC, Q5 and XC60, but your attention to detail sold me.
I'm getting this vehicle and already sent my order for the 2019 model.
New subscriber, great review and photography..
18:54 Not sure why, but I really like the transition here and also appreciate the step in / start up sequence you did
Great video man, keep it up
How can you be so good at reviewing cars? Definitely the top #1 I've ever seen
The best car reviewer on YT.
Good review. 👌 detailed explanation.
The long wait is over, another video ! :)
Great Presentation
excellent review
I'm telling you something you already know, but it always feel nice when someone tells you this is an awesome review.
Savagegeese BMW allows you to program 6 direct customized commands from physical buttons, you could program one to display the HUD, I use one for quick switch to night mode on my NAV
I have 8 programmed to take me home.
Hello from France 🇫🇷 ! I ordered last week a BMW X3 M Sport package and I’ll receive it in June. Your report is the best I’ve never seen about the X3.
I have the '17 MY X3 (xDrive 35i) and it's incredible the number of improvements the '18 model has gotten over its predecessor. I love my F31, but this looks even better.
I haven't seen Action Jackson in years! Great vid by the way!
Great car (for leasing only) and great review.
