X3 M for me. Looks amazing, sounds mega, fun to drive and practical at the same time. What's not to like? And 3.8 seconds 0-60 is ballistic for an SUV! That was supercar territory not many years ago.
Just brought the new X4M Competition wow it has just blown me away, it does everything that everyone says but feels ten times better in real life. When it comes to looks I believe the X4M Competition looks far superior with its sleek look and that aerodynamic back end gives it a faster sportier look than the X3M competition square box shopping trolley soccer mums SUV/SAV. As far as feeling different the X4M Competition feels great with its low roof line that gives you the sensation of being in a high performance sports car. I'm 6'2.
Nikita Mashtalyar Yeah and for me the Rear End of the X4 is a No Go. I just dont like the Look of it. But thats okay, thats why you can choose.. If i had to choose, i would def get the X3M
@@nikitamashtalyar6704 How can they be "literally the same" except for completely different rear end and roof? Me thinks you literally don't know what "literally" means.
Who would have thought that one day the X3 actually would become a good looking car - No more complaints from me on this, well done BMW even that I dislike SUV´s in general unless they are bought to serve an SUV purpose with some terrain and offroad driven included.
That is awesome performance from a six cylinder engine! Well done, M Division! And it looks really good too! Like you, Mat, I prefer the X3M. Can't wait to hear your review when it hits UK roads, though.
I owned an 2016 X4 about 3 years ago, but sold it last month. My wife didn't like it when I brought it home but as time passes she started enjoying driving it. Looking at the new X4M, my wife was like, that's our next car for sure lol.
I really like the X3M. It is so cool. I actually saw the X4M in febuary at the CIAS although it was in a small hidden room and they took your phone before entry. The X4M is kinda weird looking to me though.
Physics, Matt: The X4 carries a few pounds less high above the ground in the rear than the X4, improving its cornering ever so slightly. But I also firmly consider all SUV coupes to be a gastly error of judgement by all parties involved in their existence, so there's that =)
Matt. Although you drove the X3M on road and the X4M on track, did you also drive the X3M on track and X4M on road ? Did you find any difference on both these magnificent machines ?
I really wish people would get the difference between AWD and 4WD. AWD powers all the wheels via a center differential and distributes power via clutch packs. 4WD employs a transfer case which can either just connect the other wheels or go into a low ratio mode for crawl situations. Even AWD systems with a transfer case typically lack the ability to change ratios and just disconnect the other wheels when requested
I know its an unpopular opinion, but I love the sound of those 6 cils you get in m3 or rs5. It just sounds more sophisticated than the v8's in lets say the c63. And the sound when it shifts is lovely as well
Maxi the manufacturer sets the test locations. That’s why most reviewers videos look similar. Look out for the same licence plates in reviewers videos. Manufacturers usually use about 20 cars for press review events so many reviewers use the same cars as each other.
That matte silver is spectacular! Also, I’m literally about to buy an X3 M40i and am feeling a little bit like a chump. No wonder I’m getting such a good deal. 😒
Please do a comparison of BMW X3 M, Mercedes GLC 63, Alfa Stelvio QV, Porsche Macan Turbo and Jaguar F-Pace SVR!
Rush That’s a review that I’d love to see too!
Yeah that will be soo cool...
I'd like to see BMW X6, GLE Coupe and Cayenne Coupe :D
The Stelvio Quadrofoglio is so pretty
Yes do this please
That stick of truth though 👌🏻
You guys aren't ready for that kind of girth just yet...I've been stick of truthing for a year now. Don't run before you can walk!

New s58 engine sound so much better than previous one in m3!
Mindau agreed
100% agree way more depth
Yeah, sounds quite angry!👌🏻
Nah s55 with MPE and full send sounds alot better. This just sounds like a idk 340i or 335i. Pretty dam lame for an m car.
Finally bmw got M straight 6 to sound good
3.8s on an suv with 2tons . How it will perform on the m3 3.4/5 for sure !
I Don't think so. M3 will probably be rwd
@@mojo6112 next M3 will have the same x drive system fitted to the current M5. AWD unless you stick it into pure RWD for sliding shenanigans 😁

3.2s in m3 with 500KG LESS WEIGHT
Alb in Probably around 3s I guess...
wow that exhaust sounds good!!!! hype for the new M3/M4
Will Debeljak sounds like the legendary Skyline GTR
Wanna take that back

I almost always agree with your verdict! Your vids are fun and very informative. I particularly love the X4M Competition though.
I love how Matt is not pretentious at all. “I’m in some track in New Jersey - I can’t remember the name.” It makes him so much more relatable.
"When it comes to a corner, it doesn't just run out of ideas and fall over..."
I don't know why I couldn't stop laughing
very easily pleased
X3m is just proper SUV looks really good way better than normaln model well done BMW!!
Drag race with glc63s please mat😁😁
Yes pleaseeeeee
And Stelvio ..
glc63s is way quicker man

I drove the x3 2.0tdi, good car but very very boring
The X3M just looks like a proper BMW... Love the Design. The X4M is just a No
But BMW is the one who introduce coupe roof on SUV, so, it's a proper BMW too..
Not a fan of the tailights they introduced on the new X4 and 3 series

Love the new X3M. I don't know why bmw didn't make this model until now, it makes a lot of sense for people who would want a smaller performance X5.
It's funny how Mat use the carwow Log of truth while he lend the twig of truth for Yuri (straightpipes)
I love watching hippos go fast. Even though unnatural, it is funny as hell
That is awesome performance from a six cylinder engine! Well done, M Division! And it looks really good too! Like you, Mat, I prefer the X3M. Can't wait to hear your review when it hits UK roads, though.
Tested at Nurburgring, driven on school run.

Looking at the new X4M, my wife was like, that's our next car for sure lol.
It’s weird, I prefer the regular X3 over the regular X4. But in this case, I’d rather have the X4M. It just suits it better.
Must say BMW is coming back at merc with a bang. M5, M8 this and X4M. All great. I still prefer the thunderous V8 of the GLC 63 though.
3.8 seconds is absolutely mad. Imagine how fast that’s going to be in the lighter more streamlined m3 and m4. We are talking low to mid 3’s. Madness.
Saw your cameo with +TheStraightPipes by introducing them to the carwow stick of truth. Loved it!

Couldn't agree more with your judgement there, sir.
Whats excellent is how well it sounds. Great news for the new M3/M4.
GLC 63 just for that V8 soundtrack
The other kids put out videos early yesterday... none were as good as this, that X3M is simply amazing. Well done Matt!
You should’ve let Yuri and Jacob do the visor test in your video! Missed opportunity 😅
OMG, that X4M rear always surprise me when ever I see it
Matt. Although you drove the X3M on road and the X4M on track, did you also drive the X3M on track and X4M on road ? Did you find any difference on both these magnificent machines ?
This sounds so much better than the s55. Having the B58, I can’t imagine how this S58 would be.
Those "competition" badges look absolutely ridiculous on an SUV.
I got to say, if Matt wasn't reviewing these cars, I wouldn't watch. He's is pure personality.
That is correct 👍
He has a different vibe on reviewing cars
"Handles the bumps quite well", as Mat drives across a billiard table.😅

stelvio qv vs x3 m vs glc 63s compare them in one video pls 🙏
I'm not a big fan of crossovers generally speaking,but this car might just change that. I want a X3M quite badly now!
Watching another videos until carwow notification pop up
Donington Grey is such a beautiful color on that X3 M 🥰
And what special timing app are you using?
Asking for a friend lol.
It's called drag racer in the Android store. Don't know if it's on Apple.
Damn 0-60 in 3,8 seconds?? That's faster than Lamborghini Diablo for an SUV that's insane!!! 😀😀
@carwow give us that app for 0-60 time please :)
Nice. Waiting for x5m
Great cameo on the Straight Pipes channel by the way. Love those guys! 😄
Hey fella just bought an x3m competition looking forward to it's delivery even more now I've watch the video impressive 0-60 time for an suv

I think all the car companies should hire mat watson for launching the car... He gives the correct and the real timing.... 👍👍👍
The X3 looks way better than the X4
I disagree.. you are wrong! The X4 is way better looking!

Considering that the jeep trackhock with hellcat engine does a 0-60 in 3.5 with 200 hp more , this is quite impressive from BMW ..
X3MC in that exact spec please!!

It'll be 100k plus in Italy lol. Then add over 5k a year in tax
I like x3m competition and x4m competition, the most beautiful cars
You should've put the GlC 63 amg coupe on the poll. It looks way better.
New M3 will have a great exhaust note, like it did with the E92, E46 & E36
Glc 63s with V8 is the best choice 😈🚀
BMW definitely have to incorporate that M xDrive to the upcoming M3 Competition. It's going to be a pocket rocket!

im gonna test drive the new X7, GLC 63 AMG and the X3M soon but i dont think any of these are gonna make me sell my Cayenne Turbo.
