i never comment on these videos, just because theyre always so well done and i love how max does the interviews, watching martin give a review is just as enjoyable as max and its funny how they kinda sound the same too, dont know why hes getting hate, i like his style and hes got a good sense of humor.
I love the gesture control on my BMW! You can use thumbs right/left to skip tracks, and close/open fist to start home route navigation etc. Plus you can simply turn the gesture control OFF in settings if you hate it so much rather than whinging about it so much haha!
I actually have to say, that I really enjoy watching Martin doing the last few reviews. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it but I grew to like it more and more. I guess not everyone seems to get along with his way of doing reviews but in my opinion Martin adds his very own nice touch to them which makes for a nice change. I'd like to see more reviews done by him in future even if Max is the main review guy.
Thanks for your video. Ordered one a month ago, so that helped me to keep me busy. Few amendments, though: 1. The colour is called Brooklyn grey, not Nardo Grey which is an Audi thing. 2. It is not a "BMW Individual" colour. 3. The 3d cylinder head is a S58 thing, not a F97 LCI thing, meaning that also the 600Nm version had it. 4. The "new display" also existed pre-LCI with the 2020 model. 5. Illuminated logos are not an LCI thing either. No disrespect, but a lil research would be helpful.
@AutoTopNl You have two major problems with your settings for launch control. 1. DSC OFF. Dont turn it off and it will much better 2. 4wd xdrive mode. You basically send most of the power to real wheels with dsc off and want perfect launch? Select AWD xdrive mode and engine into sport mode not sport+ (+will not give any more power.)
@@AutoTopnl If you dont see LC message or flag you think it doesnt work? On all F series vehicles you can launch control from any mode, comfort, sport, sport+, DSC off, but LC message comes only in sport+ mode. I Dont know how on this X3M but im sure in any mode with brake and kickdown it should hold the rpms (~3500 or whatever). And anyway, in any bmw if a guy says that bmw launches shit with xdrive - its only a driver problem. IF you see that vehicle struggles with grip, just do brake boosting from 2000-2500rpm. IF this X3M struggles a lot now, it only means it has very very very strong launch control already from factory (without LAG as many vehicles do) and thats very good if u like to go to same drag races. You need to install some sticky soft tyres and play with the rpms. So for me these comments about very shit launch control is nonsense, its actually vice versa.
It's great to hear your voice for a change. Laughing my ass off that the gesture control is giving you such a hard time. Never realized that Continentals were such awful tires - good to know.
I've taken my X3M comp to the track. Brakes are not a problem and yes they last longer than 5 laps. Also all the complaints about gesture control is unnecessary. Place a small piece of electrical tape over the red IR transmitter in the ceiling and it's blocked. End of funny comments.

This is M Brooklyn Grey. Personally, I don't share the hype around ceramics. They have their use, sure, but they don't shine as much as everyone thinks on an everyday basis.
We bought a pre-LCI X3 M40i. The 'Legos' comment is pretty spot on and a big reason why we went pre-LCI. It just looks overdone now. (to say nothing of the mild-hybrid silliness they added) Great review though as always!
I have. a 2020 and much prefer those dials and interior overall, I have the illuminated m on the seats and auto headrests, great car.....thinking of tuning to 600hp. amazing vehicle.
I actually tried a lot of Michelins on my F80 including PS4S, Cup2s and etc. ... those tires are ok the first 1k kms and than it is just ****. I am driving only Pirellis now and I really love them, the grip and the control is on another level and they lasted more than 8k kms without any issues.
Couldn't you just choose a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires that fit and put them on instead? My car came with Bridgestones, first chance I got once the old tires worn down I found a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they're a dream!
What's the problem for BMW with the rear light's??? I don't like them at all they don't suits the car, and that's the same thing with the new 2 series !
AutoTopNL i have a question: Will you ever review Rezvani Tank? Or Rezvani Hercules? THAT would be SICK!!! Probably no Rezvani cars in Netherland, or is it?
I think the gesture control is bad idea. They didn't think that people nowadays are talking and moving their hands + every button is within driver's reach. I like also easy find and operate buttons not go through complicated steps on screen. Who agrees with me?
This thing is beautiful. And gesture controls arent stupid dude nobody points shit out with their hands all the time like you do... And it is useful when you are on the autobahn :D
Have one . You will need to change tires every 3 oil changes . Rear power bias wears down rears much quicker . BMW has warned me about differential damage if the tread depth differences from front to rear are more than 2 /32 nds . I have less than 40,000 kns and a set of winters and I’m still way down in rears .can’t change your own oil , they won’t sell the wrench . Wipers need to be purchased from BMW as well
You made pretty nice video but i think now it's time to have a better sound xperience. Like a mix with microphone at the back to ear the exhaust, at the front for the intake. A 3d sound, cause even with earphone you don't have a better sound xperience. And i think that's every body want here. Even if. You do a very good job ;)
I'm kind of confused why are people always complaining about the gesture control while you can turn it off forever with a simple touche on your iDrive. Period.
To launch a car with cold tires works horrible. Believe me: when the conti sport contact 6 has the right temperature for sporty driving/launching i really like them, i am not a continental fan but they Are really good.
Today, i drove an X3M Competition 2022, It is a very quick car, but no Sound !? The cold Start Sound is good, but i am a bit diasappointed. My M135i 2016 with 326 PS Sounds better.

i dont get people hating on martijn's reviews, i really enjoy both him and max. both share the same passion for cars!
I don't see any hate.
Who is Martin? Is he Max’s brother?
Read psychology and you get the answer
TL;DR: It's too close to what people are used to but not exactly the same
Yeah, Max is a special talent but they are both enjoyable and together have created the best channel on you tube
it's because he literally reviews bad cars and just does autobahn pulls
I do enjoy Martijn's honesty. He's not afraid of being incredulous or annoyed when things are bad.
I’m happy to see Martin doing reviews
DUDE! YOU'VE GOT A SPIDER ON YOU, CAREFUL!!!

"dont get gesture controls" one of the best extras I've ever experienced, some of us are able to talk without our hands! Hate this German sometimes.

Gesture control works perfectly fine. Launch control too. You just don’t know how to use it :-)
Great review
Very beautiful color!
9:39 I like the gesture controls.
What’s the selling point for this over the X3 M40i? Especially when you consider that this (form factor) is nowhere near a sports car.
X3m40i is not that quick if u ask me
literally just bragging rights
For people want a full M car but family needs an SUV. It’s very niche, not too many people want this, it’s reflected on the resell value of this car
Its an M🤷♂️ worked for me
