Have one and feel very special driving it. Plenty of power, p zero are like glue. Drove 911 4s and turbo s, not worth 3 times the price at all, this car does it all.
Damn as a Mercedes fan, I can't lie that the newer BMW SUV's definitely look a lot better than Mercedes SUV's. They just don't look proportionate at all while this X3M is almost the perfect size with a 7 series level interior. Really considering buying this in a few years with depreciation and extended warranty.
I absolutely loved @ 10:13 of the video when you tromped on it. . I would like to see that in each review, it gave us a great sense of its acceleration.
My black X3M40i Ultimate is great! Black makes it look aggressive. I love the looks of the X3M too but every single review says the ride is too harsh. Super happy with the X3M40i.
M40i and x3m have very different turbos X3m has 2 turbos, cylinder 1,2,3 have 1 and 4,5,6 have anothet 1 The m40i has 1 turbo for all cylinders but 2 fans Not the same at all. Fyi
The problem with this engine is that the connecting rods are not forged and they come from the f90 M5 and they are not all that strong... so to me the isn’t forged connecting rods are a weak point in an engine...
I wish I could get that engine with the normal seats, zero interest in the sport seats especially when 99% of the driving I’m doing is in a straight line
Good luck! You’ll love it and many will salute you for your build & creativity. Btw, I can respect someone that won’t sacrifice nice taste over “just to say I have one, too.”
You didn’t read my comment carefully. I said the settings can be changed to be what you want automatically at startup so you don’t have to adjust them every time you drive. He was complaining about having to change them every time. That’s why I said there is nothing to complain about.
This car is one of the sexiest suv in the market right now and it is actually not that expensive.for a bmw at least but i am happy with my land cruiser 200
After test drive the AMG, can’t believe that one is more comfortable than this X3C, daily drive that one is a really pain in the axx, I believe this one is better for daily commuting.
The X3M Comp engine actually produces way over the quoted figure (like all M Cars and AMG etc), which is really cool. They dyno around 490hp at the wheels so it should be around 570 crank horsepower.
Tom Hegedosh the GLC 63 has a terrible tyre skipping issue... horrendous noise... such Mercedes call a characteristic...I’ve found this video after handing the GLC63 back and being recommended this as next best....
Congrats on your vehicle. Most of your feedback is on point. I had a five-hour drive home when I picked mine up...seats and adaptive sus are a bit rough. Just wait until your “break-in” period is over...and it def can drift, but it snaps back (check out the 2020 X6M vids to see the xdrive drift). X5M and X6M def got the better options & features...as expected.
Even with a full “M”, you need to have a luxury ride setting first and foremost in a SUV. Beyond that you can stiffen up the suspension for playing around but these are a SUV and not a track car.
My X3 M40i suspension is uncomfortably stiff and on concrete roads with undulations between each segment of concrete it bounces down the road. I can't imagine how stiff the X3M suspension is! There is no effect on the suspension changing from eco to comfort or sport mode on the M40i.
Okay why does he keep calling this the M? 7 mins and some change, and he’s called it the M 6 times, yet at 7:12 he explains the difference between the M and the M Competition, slight changes between the M and M Competition but like he says it’s the small things that count and it’s the M Competition not just the M! 😠😤😡
15:00 The best M vehicle you have ever driven? That's a strange statement that no other car enthusiast whos driven other M cars would agree with. The ride is ridiculously firm - it absolutely doesn't match the purpose of the vehicle. Which is, practical, family focused performance. No family wants a ride that firm in 'comfort' setting. Its flawed because of this. There is also a serious lack of torque low down int he rev range in higher gears, two pretty big faults.
Woh. Please show the bike. Are you kidding me? Show the bike! How many bikes will fit?! I got small kids like you. Trying to avoid a hitch. Show the bike please!
Good looking small CUV that is probably much better in normal non M trim with straight six. You can get A TrackHawk which is a size bigger, sounds tons better, is tons faster, and can be repaired everywhere, this is just overpriced and not worth it.
Drove both numerous times - X3 M is a vastly better package than MacanTurbo, which feels downright old in comparison with a bimmer. Also, good luck finding Macan Turbo for $62K - for me the X3 was a no-brainer)
Best review yet. I've ordered one for my 128th birthday
HAHA
are you still alive?
Loooooooooool
🤣🤣🤣
M versions of BMW's are beast looking yet elegant..
Have one and feel very special driving it. Plenty of power, p zero are like glue. Drove 911 4s and turbo s, not worth 3 times the price at all, this car does it all.
That’s awesome!
Glad to see BMW is slowing making the fenders of the X5 and X3 more muscular like the amazing E53 X5

The car is impressive, your video review and quality is phenomenal, keep making videos like this you gained a new subscriber.
Simply beautiful car and the paint color is amazing, I am picking up my X3 M40I tomorrow!
do you regret getting the b58 over the s58?
I absolutely loved @ 10:13 of the video when you tromped on it. . I would like to see that in each review, it gave us a great sense of its acceleration.
I do try but there’s not a lot of places around me that I can do that. Will definitely try though😜
Great job. Liked the video and subscribed to your channel!
Awesome review as always Brian

The m40i has 1 turbo for all cylinders but 2 fans
Not the same at all. Fyi
After that honest feedback about the somewhat harsh ride, I give this video a thumbs up. 👍
So many videos missed that crucial issue.
I looooveee bmw suv atm, there interiors and exteriors I think are best in class 😍...
Love your reviews btw, keep it up 👍
and I still LOVE my 2018 X3 30i...
Nice car but I hate that manufacturers have gone to three spoke steering wheels. I like to rest my hand at the 6 o'clock position on long drives.
Telling you, there's something special about the X3s... Especially this M Comp
Excellent review.
This is a ‘Competition’ model for a reason. This vehicle is going to have a stiffer suspension.
Follow me to see videos for modified cars ♥️ ♥️
Competition and normal X3M have the same exact suspension.
It’s an M car get the non M version with M sport package if you want that.
Great review! Anyone know what colour this is?
Also own one, best car I have ever had, just does it all.
Best review of the MX3C I've seen yet. Thanks from the UK.

Chris Boyd it’s available if you VO it. I picked every option I wanted.
Good luck! You’ll love it and many will salute you for your build & creativity. Btw, I can respect someone that won’t sacrifice nice taste over “just to say I have one, too.”
There’s really nothing to complain about with the M4 shifting. It can be adjusted so it’s in Sport+ right at startup.
He already said it was adjustable.

BmW says 3.3 0 to 60mph ?
Beautiful.. Was gonna purchase the XT4 but this changed my mind..
Benjamin Mathew fuck off lol

I can only imagine how many slip discs and spondalytis issues you must be having after driving that as a daily driver
what is the color oh this car?
Why don’t the doors automatically unlock when you get close and lock as you walk away?
I guess this isn’t built on the newer architecture pole the new X5 which as the enhanced comfort access. I really do like that feature.
After test drive the AMG, can’t believe that one is more comfortable than this X3C, daily drive that one is a really pain in the axx, I believe this one is better for daily commuting.
nice to see something without the black plastic claddings.
Nothing about towing? Can I tow with this and how much?
I like the new intro !
Thanks

Hard to pick between this M beast and a GLE AMG.
Question for you--did you get past the 1200 or 1500 miles of break-in period before you started driving it like that? 11:20
Love that colour 😍
Why did it take BMW so many years to put out a competitor to GLC 63S?
The X3M Comp engine actually produces way over the quoted figure (like all M Cars and AMG etc), which is really cool. They dyno around 490hp at the wheels so it should be around 570 crank horsepower.
What color is this. It's very nice looking. How do you think this compares to an X5?
how about the ride?
Definitely the GLC63 instead of this. I'm glad you added that feedback at the end
Tom Hegedosh the GLC 63 has a terrible tyre skipping issue... horrendous noise... such Mercedes call a characteristic...I’ve found this video after handing the GLC63 back and being recommended this as next best....

Ok 10:26 van on his left then seconds later its ghost.
It's being smoked LOL
I own one and it is the best :)
Why does the CAR look so huge??
Very good video, why do you have kmh on your speed and not miles
I’m bases in Canada. We use the metric system.
Thanks👍
Because the world doesnt revolve around the US
No USB on the back? That's odd.
It is rather odd. I just the configurator and it's not even listed as an optional extra. I guess rear passengers are an afterthought in an X3/4M.
Awesome show

Se tem próximo carro do BACKSTAGE tem LIKE
A qualquer hora, em qualquer lugar, pelo menos um inscrito do backstage estará!
Should i buy this or wait for the new M4?
Do you want an SUV or car?
Valid question
How much?
Around 79,000
Great car. Tires blow every time you go over a pebble

It is ridiculously stiff for me.
There is no eco suspension mode on an X3M40i. Are you sure you even have one?
@@vc8160 Eco pro, comfort, sport. Three options just to the left of the shit lever.
Brian Cow is the best !!
Okay why does he keep calling this the M? 7 mins and some change, and he’s called it the M 6 times, yet at 7:12 he explains the difference between the M and the M Competition, slight changes between the M and M Competition but like he says it’s the small things that count and it’s the M Competition not just the M! 😠😤😡
Everyone that shelled out a lease for an X3M40 are probably kicking themselves silly.
Send it to me please..Thank you
Crazy beefy man

I didn’t find the ride to be uncomfortable at all
Thats why he said its the best vehicle hes driven not other.
Dont be a dumbass
There is such a thing as a stupid question.
Meh..give me an Jaguar F Pace SVR instead pls
Going to test the F Pace SVR before the end of the year. Looking forward to comparing it with this.
7:42 hehe
I will take X3 M40i
Купити пажалста
I need it lol🤭
I wish they still had this colour, they have some really shitty colours for the 2024 year old
Buy the extended warranty
Woh. Please show the bike. Are you kidding me? Show the bike! How many bikes will fit?! I got small kids like you. Trying to avoid a hitch. Show the bike please!
You gotta start with the price as tested. Great video otherwise, but I will naturally gravitate to reviews that do so. No thumbs up until so.
Ok, make sure to watch the next ones. I need that thumbs up😀
So,when are you gona use all that HP. My guess,,never
Christer Stattin autobahn or at lights hehe
I love the internet
This is NOT the latest iDrive system.
Interior dash is very outdated
Ken Y clean your eyes bruh
That screen is outdated. Some cheap monitor. Bra lol
Just not worth the premium vs. the M40i 😉
This one ☝️ Is sweet 🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💨💨💨⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I would never buy a car that cannot carry my golf clubs in the trunk.
it is a track car lol girly man lol aka recaro like seats
Good looking small CUV that is probably much better in normal non M trim with straight six. You can get A TrackHawk which is a size bigger, sounds tons better, is tons faster, and can be repaired everywhere, this is just overpriced and not worth it.
Chris R exactly. Two totally different vehicles. American cars are absolute trash.
Next: X1M Competition 🤦🏻♂️
Drives to rough! Strictly a track car, not a daily driver especially on blacktop roads and concrete with cracks.
LOL, strictly a track car. It's an SUV, it's not a track car at all, but as with any car can be driven on a track.
한국 BMW x 시리즈 품질 안좋습니다
Car is ridiculously overpriced. Could get a Macan turbo for the same
Drove both numerous times - X3 M is a vastly better package than MacanTurbo, which feels downright old in comparison with a bimmer. Also, good luck finding Macan Turbo for $62K - for me the X3 was a no-brainer)
Not worth the money , I would take a coupe with RWD no fun driving SUV with 500 HP , naaaaa
True Review then why the fuck you on an suv review video
The ride is terrible
what color is this?
