FINALLY!!! A drive video of the xDrive30i !!! I drive a 2016 GLC 300 4Matic that is coming out of lease end of 2018 so I am VERY interested in the new X3.
The dashboard layout almost reminds me of the E70 X5's interior but with a modern twist, anyways its way better then the outgoing X3 model and I'm glad they're making the lower end model more appealing.
SamV313 The XC60 he drove was the range topping T8. Doesn’t compare to this: much more expensive, and much more power, too. The M40i would compare to that. If you want things well loaded for the same price, than the X3 30i compares to the XC60 T5, or the T6 if you don’t mind paying a premium for the Volvo... The infotainment system on the X3 (all new BMW’s in general) is way better that the one in the XC60 (too confusing + forcing (nearly) everything through the touch screen). BMW’s iDrive is the best in the business IMO.
The Q5 was on my shortlist as well! I am drooling at the Nardo Grey colour but will stick back with the current manufacturer as my X1 has not given me any issues thus far. Gas wise I am a petrolhead so petrol all the way :)
Looks like there's a raised load floor when you order the spare tire. How high would you say the load floor is compared to the bottom of the opening for the trunk?
looks like a missed opportunity to drive it at motorway speed? Not sure if you briefly reached those speeds, but was really looking forward for an extended run which never happened :-( Also is this really 30i? in BMW UK site I can only see 20i and 40i
yes they are my favorite turn signals by far electronic with two click modes. a half click for 3 signals for switching lanes, and a full click which turns the signals on until you finish turning.
From his turn out from the parking lot, I can already see/feel the weirdness in steering input to the turning output of the car. Exactly the same looking/feeling as my former 2016 GTI, which I am not fond of. Traded in the GTI for a 2.5L Mazda 3, the steering is back to normal again, and IMO miles better than Mk7 GTI's.
papoopa5800 never buy an Audi. They're for dumbass people with very low iQ. Choose between X3, GLC, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Jaguar F-Pace or even E-Pace, and if you can afford it - a Porsche Macan.
TheTopher, you would help me a lot if you would tell me wich is better: the mazda cx5 automatic or the bmw x3 automatic. I just don't seem to be able to decide.
It reflects the natural motion used with every shift pattern since the beginning of shift patterns. Reverse is always in front of drive on conventional shifter stocks. Therefore it only makes sense that of you’re in drive, you push the stock forward to get into reverse.
RUclips Fi car or motorcycle has to be broken in at different speeds, RPM’s, etc. don’t buy a new car and go on a road trip on cruise control. I did that once and the car was driving weirdly when I was passing 70MPH where the engine ran for 1800 miles on cruise. It’s like the top speed was 70 instead of 160.
@@vivekgopinathan6960 I understand what you mean, ya maybe could have been made better. But I am happy with the way my car sounds. Love the turbo engine. I got the 2021 model Xdrive 30i. Drives like a breeze.

Zf is sublime. Everytime i drive my x3 30i, it feels new ❤️
i love that he floors it regularly.
Out of all the small luxury suv, this is the one I’d pick. In fact I did! So far I’m still under 3k miles with it, but it’s been the best!
How is it so far
3:41 The BMW went full Civic mode

Loving those videos so much i cant get enough of it
wow a full sized spare tire, that's probably the most impressive thing on this car
You have such an amazing job. I just found this channel yesterday and I'm in love with this style of video from you.
Took a couple weeks of owning one to realize this one does not have the Exec package with the full digital dash. Nice POV though.
loving your vids man,keep up the good work.
I thought the car would automatically shift gears once it hits the red line even if you are in manual mode
Nope because It still is a drivers car
What do you think of this vs. the Volvo XC60 you drove recently when it comes to interior and driving dynamics?
This. Pls answer!
I would like to know this comparison as well. Its almost time for a new car and both are on my radar.
XC60 is all about comfort, not driving dynamics. That interior though...
Yes, love that interior! But with the T6 I hear it is not half bad to drive... obviously not a sports car but not a lumbering SUV either.

It looks great! Might consider replacing my existing X1 to this since I need the extra space. Is the ride of this as harsh as the X1?
milocapslock X1 is based on MINI. This one is a lot more comfortable. Even 3 series have better ride quality.
milocapslock hu
Are you getting it in petrol or diesel? I’m contemplating between this and the Q5
The Q5 was on my shortlist as well! I am drooling at the Nardo Grey colour but will stick back with the current manufacturer as my X1 has not given me any issues thus far. Gas wise I am a petrolhead so petrol all the way :)
milocapslock if I get an X3 30i, will I be able to use it for a good 10 years?
ooh the mini countryman plug in hybrid, hopefully you can drive that
Wait a minute. The turn signal stalk stays in place now?!?!?
yes they changed it...I liked the old way better
banstaman the previous design was better
banstaman it’s a bmw thing they’ve been doing that for ages
Vincent Messina uhh no? pretty sure the 3 series doesn't as the 2014 3 series doesn't do that.
yeah, same on my 3series, its bad plastic and unconfortable as it stays in place
All BMWs should have that same steering wheel
great video man, in your opinion how's the best Range Rover sport (SVR) or BMW X3 or Audi Q7 !!
Hopefully sometime you could drive a new Mazda CX-9 :0
Hi, are you not, making videos anymore? All the best Shaun
This Is a nice bmw!
Looks like there's a raised load floor when you order the spare tire. How high would you say the load floor is compared to the bottom of the opening for the trunk?
sound on driver's door lil bit different when you closed, not " Blubbb" like the other doors.
looks like a missed opportunity to drive it at motorway speed? Not sure if you briefly reached those speeds, but was really looking forward for an extended run which never happened :-( Also is this really 30i? in BMW UK site I can only see 20i and 40i
Can you review an m40i version of either the X3 or X4
great video
nice video! thanks
What is this place you parked the car? Are they all new car seller? Please tell us about this place more
The BMW dashboards still carry trims that remind me outdated, freaking finishing accents as seen on cars built in the 1990's.
Extra sound piped into the cabin, I cant stand that. I like cars that sound good naturally, not with fake noise.
What is that I'm hearing when he makes turns? Turn signals? In a BMW?
yes they are my favorite turn signals by far electronic with two click modes. a half click for 3 signals for switching lanes, and a full click which turns the signals on until you finish turning.
Great video clarity but you need to fix your camera so it doesnt move. I got a bit queasy watching it.
Did this Car have adjustable dampers? If so, your thoughts? Price for this one?
Hi, did you like this x3 or new rdx ? acceleration and cornering, handling wise
of course X3. Rdx is shit.
From his turn out from the parking lot, I can already see/feel the weirdness in steering input to the turning output of the car.

How loud (dB) its inside at 60, 80 mph? Thanks
hi, how do you feel comparing with the cx5 turbo?
Welcome to “ KUWAIT CARS” 🇰🇼
What is the difference between this 30i and the M40i besides the horsepower?
Spare tire!! Are those not run flat tires??
I hope I can get to test drive cars for a living someday too 😂
richard ramos he’s also works as a photographer as well :)
3:44 you tryna blow the engine?
Could you get your hands on an X3 M40i?
I’m contemplating between this car and the Audi Q5 TFSI. Please guide me as to which one has a better build quality and a softer ride. Thanks!

Central Lifestyle I can buy a Porsche Macan when I sell my house and decide to live in a car. But I certainly love this new X3.
Q5 with air suspension soaks every bump like a charm.
papoopa5800 funny
sic22l that’s true. How long does air suspension last though?
Please, Please upload more!
consolence s grr
How do you get access to so many cars?
Nice car
can you test drive the 340i?
Is available the auxiliary wheel ?
TheTopher, you would help me a lot if you would tell me wich is better: the mazda cx5 automatic or the bmw x3 automatic. I just don't seem to be able to decide.
bmw x3
Have you already tried the Forester XT for comparison? Same size and same power I think :)
gib112 BMW for sure!
hi chris, could you try comparing w/ Forester 2018 XT? They are competitor supposed to be..
Forester is more like RAV4's competitor. It's not even close to the X3 or any other premium offering.
What can I do to have a job like you sir?
can you do a video on the current 2018 Q5?
Good morning
How much this one costs ?
does this latest x3 drive better than the latest x1?
Jetdin Ilmi I hope so, just got rid of my shitty x1 m sport and going into a Volvo XC60
so the new x1 doesnt have a floaty feel is it
Definitely yes, X1 is basically a front wheel drive car with more understeer,
also the x1 is based on the mini country man!
I currently have a 2011 Accord. How would this match up to it in terms of comfort and power?
Is that hump in the cargo area the result of space-saver spare tire or that was a full-size spare tire?
Yes, it's the space saver tire. That hump is very unfortunate and you lose the cargo accessory rails as a result of that complete lid for the tire.
Wow, thats bad, then I should get it with Run Flat
thats would possibly also make the load floor uneven after reclining the second row seats
Good point!!!
Should I buy a GLC300suv , Audi Q5 or BMW x3?
BMW X3 for sporty feels, but Mercedes glc for luxury. Which ever you prefer
I hate how you have to pull the stick back to go forward and push it forward to go back, it makes no sense if you ask me

what state is it? bc i guess it's Ohio.
Do SQ5
Binaural audio?
You mean stereo...?
Around 6.5 seconds in wet...
As much legroom as rx350 in backseat?
White Wolf rx is one class bigger so it competes more with the x5, Gle, Q7, Xc90 etc
Benny87654321 o ok, is x3 same class as a rav 4?
White Wolf yes exactly
Bemmm good

just be aware that by 2027, new cars will be completely driverless.
Why would a ever drive a base model X3
damn... I just can't decide between Mercedes Audi and Bmw. how can this possible to be so hard...
Volvo. lol The new XC60 is awesome.
Omg 🤦🏻♂️😅
TheTopher Not if you want a 6 cyl.
TheTopher but the noise in the xc60...
I've always loved BMW, but whoever designed that speedo, needs to go.
You should be more careful about the water on the camera lenses. However, the video is still amazing.
Don’t ever use the cruise control for the first 1500 miles on a car!
Danny Porsche why?

2018? The interior is stuck in 2011.
556x45mm NATO sure buddy keep trolling

The Mazda 6 has a better interior than this thing.
agree. guess Tesla is the thing now. This just look old and last decade.
It's still doesnt look 2018 lol
Too bad it's only an inline-4
This is better than the GLC, but i cant own a BMW cuz they break constantly .. very unreliable
Stefaka #5 on Consumer Reports industry rankings.
Not true at all the glc breaks a lot but what do you expect from a Mercedes
LOL! slide it over to S you DONUT i own this car! put it in sports and slide the gear stick over to S and just blat the accelorater
Your video makes me dizzy. Work this fps out dude
Gustavo Cassuriaga look up Winding Road Magazine. His videos are great.
Wtf
The guy on Winding Road Magazine does better car videos

Nice car.
