I am actually in the market for an x3m also. Been lurking at them for months now. Hard to find one close by me in NYC that is in my price range and not beat to shit... Coming from and E92 M3 & F80 M3 I think this would be a perfect daily for me and the family.
I feel your pain when it comes to finding one around here not completely abused. Try and stick to reputable dealerships or private sellers that seem to care about their cars if you can get approved for a private sale loan. Its tricky man. I bought this sight unseen and its a blessing it was in decent shape overall. Take your time looking and the right one will pop up for sure. I 10000% recommend the car since you’re used to M’s. Throw it on coilovers or MSS springs and you’ll never want to sell it
Thank you homie i seriously appreciate it. These videos are therapeutic to make so definitely expect more and hopefully better/higher quality content man. Super happy to have you along for the journey 🤞🏽
How’d you mount your camera up? Is it on a hat, head strap, etc..? Need to know as my POV is too high and not showing the windshield fully, more of the roof 😭🤦🏽♂️
I hear you man, its just a simple headband mount for the gopro. One of my other videos was way too high cuz it was some bum ass setup since i forgot my headband, but other than that one pov its all been headband. Its angled down quite a lot too
mss lowering springs, improve the ride quality. If you really want to improve ride and handling even more, kw v3 coilovers, make the x3m really smooth and planted compared to stock. Its pricey but worth it for bad NJ roads
Completely agreed. Im on BC Racing coilovers and even those have helped tremendously for even less than the KW. Definitely wanted to do them but 3500 for just parts kind of turned me off
Bought 2024 X3M 18 days ago....no regrets. The only problem is that forward left and right side parking sensors are not giving you enough time/distance when close to an object. The ride is a bit harsh on Competition 21 inch optional forged wheels. Other than that, it is a gem.
Congrats man thats awesome! I completely agree with you as well. They are a bit delayed and that could lead to a horrible situation. Definitely something good to keep in mind for others. And those 21 inch wheels are so nice man id love to get a set. Thinking about picking up a squared replica set in the future. Enjoy the car my friend!
@@strigzgarage Thank you, and congrats on yours. I just found your channel and subscribed. It was my dream to have that BMW since it came out 2019. Unfortunately, I am not a rich person to afford that type of vehicles, but I work hard 10-12 hours a day and I will pay my dream car loan and maintain the vehicle. My son loves it, and we share passion for cars with him. He has 2024 GOLF R DSG. At least I am still sleeping in my bed, not in the garage with the X3M. (Thank you honey.) 😅
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson amazing my friend, its great to have you here. Work hard and achieve your goals thats what keeps this life worth living! Especially family. Im sure your son absolutely loves that car. Those things are beautiful and i absolutely love what they’ve done with the new ones
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson i do believe that the fixes are accross from Pre Lci to the Lci as well. One of the main fixes people are using are the einhorn bushings. Join the X3M/X4M facebook groups. Go ahead and send a pic of your car and introduce yourself. Definitely a great place for information
Have one, love it. Was going to tune, ......not going to do it. Its fast enough , dont want the extra wear, i hit 280kmh and no problem. Drove a 911 turbo s, yes a faster, but not much and stupid 350k expensive. And no room. This x3m gives me all the wow factor i was looking for. With stock you can run and run with no problems, because it can take more. Have fun
Could be better could be worse! Before being tuned i averaged about 16mpg, tuned I would say i range from 14-16 depending on how i drive. usually on the lower side of that lol
The stiff ride does not bother me at all and more than worth it for the handling, wont drive like your camry which is the most boring as fuck car i ever drove.
I completely agree, if youre looking for a sports car it should be understood that the ride will be stiff. Thats part of the reason it didnt bother me too much, but for passengers i know it was a bit of a sore spot in their opinions
Love this video, thanks for posting. Hopefully picking mine up tomorrow!

Yo, super chill drive and chat, definitely subscribing. Looking forward for more uploads bro

W video, the pop up text in the vid killed me 🤣

@@strigzgarage didn’t even realize bc did coils for the x3m, should do a review vid of it
@@danraj23ful absolutely my friend im really hoping to film it on monday. Really really good alternative to the KWs

@@strigzgarage As far as that diff bolt bushing problem goes, do you know if they fixed it for 2022+ LCI X3M generation?

And the hud is a must have, even the 911 does not have it. When your going over 200kmh you dont want to look down
You’re absolutely right, realistically it can be seen as a safety feature above anything else
I’ll be getting one soon… few weeks finishing up my 135i build. Then jumping on one
Youll absolutely love it i promise

I absolutely agree, this thing in stock form is a true enthusiasts car and leaves nothing off the table. It was a major win for BMW
Are you still running the Run Flat tires?
Nope no more run flats
I got a Scat Pack Charger right now and really considering getting one bro.
You would love it bro i promise🙏🏽
With the harsh ride I dropped in some MSS springs. Cheap effective fix.
Absolutely a great fix, drove a car with MSS springs and loved it
Mss urban?
can you still stiffen the suspendion with the mss springs?
Hello from Brazil, nice bmw man
Its a pleasure to have you here my friend. Thank you so much🙏🏽
Bro are you a Ford guy by any chance?
Absolutely am
Looks like 287 S through Montville/Boonton
nice video bro
Thank you homie. Been slacking these last 2 weeks but i got a couple more on the way!
Change your diff oil and it will fix that sound I promise!
Ended up gettin the whole thing replaced! I aint complainin #warranty lol
M40i is a great car, but the x3m is
I truly agree. This thing continues to surprise me, especially now that im tuned and have a full exhaust
How is the mpg
Could be better could be worse! Before being tuned i averaged about 16mpg, tuned I would say i range from 14-16 depending on how i drive. usually on the lower side of that lol
