@@awdLuke It's just Misha mate, blokes an incredible driver. I live in Adelaide, he recently drove on our track and did amazingly in such a short time.
@@awdLuke it’s had decat downpipes, scorpion midpipe non res, Eventuri filters, BM3 stage 2 93 map, XHP stage 2 transmission. MSS springs for handling and spacers but I’ve changed to KW coilovers since this lap and upgraded to X5M calipers so a huge difference in braking & handling!
Misha has driven X3M before, but this time it was even better. Once more, I was astounded by how it operated. Additionally, the gearbox operated like PDK. Wonderful! 👍
Besides the fact that I really like this generation of X3 and especially the X3 M, you know what I really liked: The huge smile the owner had in his face after Misha driving the car for 10 seconds in the lap ❤ And this SUV is really fast, holy mother ❤ Thx for the video, all the best, Philipp
only because misha didn't point the m3 driver by; ask yourself how the e36 caught up to the x3 BEFORE the yellow in the first place - it was clearly running a faster lap, then got held up by the suv in a section in which it was very quick, then subsequently left behind in high speed section that favored the high horsepower brute
G01 platform is very underrated. Great all around. I went with M40i over the actual M. My family would not be able to handle the stiffness. B58 power plant is awesome
@@vollcare4076 I had one as a loaner once while I was getting some warranty work done. It's definitely smoother; but, the handling is lacking compared to the M variant.
Misha I've been watching you for years now mate, I've got a dream to drive on the nordschleife; I live in Adelaide, you've driven on the bend and I was very impressed with your driving with such a short time! Hopefully when I visit germany I'll be able to say hey! Never stop racing absolutely love your content.
The smile and laughter of the owner tells everything you need to know. He was having a lot of fun!! All the mod money was worth it. That was a fun lap.
@@G2020- A friend had one, he traded it in for a then brand new G80 M3 (this was in early april 2021). First thing we noticed was how much more comfortable the M3 was!
exactly these "sport" SUV make no sense they are too stiff for daily drive and too heavy for real performance track use if buying a X3 better take a 30d or 30i
Really good lap with this X3M Misha!!👍👍👍U handle the monster right thru the hole track and this on a regular touristday with cars and bikes, only WOW 😃
Can’t go wrong with an X3M. Basically the perfect all around vehicle…no other manufacturer has come close to achieving what this vehicle can do with its dimensions and affordability.
167mph before the lip, it’s definitely 700bhp - weight and terrible aero yet goes like it’s nothing! They drift really nicely in rwd too had one for about a year absolutely loved it.
@@stefanroseEP3e36 definitely is always going to outbrake an SUV, it seemed like that was the main area it was gaining time. It likely had stickier tires than PS4s too
@@owenlee4585 it would have gained time through every corner of the SUV wasn't in the way. I don't understand buying an x3m when you can get an M3 comp instead
@ i mean i think most people that get the x3 want the marginally better ground clearance and better interior space. But yeah personally i’d rather have an m3 touring
Damn. That thing pulls once it's in a straight line and it's not exactly slow thru the corners. Very nice. Good to see a well-sorted daily that can still carve it up.
rbf 660 brake fluid is excellent i had it on my tiburon with zimmermann brake disc brembo sport pads night and day difference against stock that was fading 2-3 hard braking
Great lap,another Q car in the making. Love it when the owner/ passenger realise that their car goes that well and what a good driver Misha is while he is thrashing their car!
Thanks for the lap Misha, it was a fun one!!
I have an x3m of my own. What is done to it?
@@awdLuke It's just Misha mate, blokes an incredible driver. I live in Adelaide, he recently drove on our track and did amazingly in such a short time.
What a beast this is absolutely mental. What mpg do you see normal driving around towns?

Damn, those shifts are insanely fast 😮
Faster than my F82 😅
@@otavio1cabral XHP Stage 2 flash, made a world of difference to it!
@@CarlDi94 Can't wait for the warrenty to expire on mine and start modifiying it. Its already amazing for an SUV out of the box.
@@CarlDi94 I think shifting is comparable to pdk from Porsche. Damn, great work :D
ZF M8HP76Z Transmission, same as the F90 M5.
This channel is a constant gift to any motorsport fan !
7:00 mark ...wow .. the brute force of this car pulls so hard from the other bmw behind. the car jumps speeds like its nothing.. incredible!
The owner was genuinely enjoying the lap. Nice mods done to the x3, made it a fun suv to belt it around

Ok, thats is a sleeper
I met same model few days ago in my jeep srt and well, that was Best run i ever had versus other SUV.
watching the E36 get gapped was so satisfying lol

It's not really that stiff in comfort mode. My '24 at least.

These X3 M handle so good for what they are. They're stupidly stiff though
Yes they are rock hard i couldn't live with it as a daily for this reason.
@@G2020- A friend had one, he traded it in for a then brand new G80 M3 (this was in early april 2021). First thing we noticed was how much more comfortable the M3 was!
The X3M LCi (after 2021) is not so stiff. You can live whith taht as a daily (in comfort mode ofcoz) :-)
Weirdly aftermarket suspension could fix that and make it better at the track.
exactly these "sport" SUV make no sense they are too stiff for daily drive and too heavy for real performance track use
if buying a X3 better take a 30d or 30i
270km/h on that WHALE. Sheeeeeeeeesh

Power & power delivery seems nice - pretty sharp up top.
Finally a car which has close to its claimed HP hah.
@@Rroff2 true 😄
Really?? Wow!!!! The right sound with the right power!!! Amazing!!!
this lap took like 2 years of life of that engine.
@@MrPiske1 and the rest!
S58
nah that engine can handle a few 100hp more..
@@kinimod3670 I would say it can do 1000-1100 HP stock

i think i may want more sporty suvs laps......these things are crazy fast and sharp on the turns too
Sharp on the turns? Did you see the way that E36 destroyed it in every braking zone and turn.
@@stefanroseEP3e36 definitely is always going to outbrake an SUV, it seemed like that was the main area it was gaining time. It likely had stickier tires than PS4s too

@@owenlee4585 grounds clearance for what? I guarantee 99.9% of x3m have only ever seen tarmac 😅 they are objectively worse in every way
not really a suv guy but found some new found appreciation for these things damn theyre quick
At first I thought "Meh, another SUV" but then I was "Holy Sh*t", that thing's amazing!". Especially the shifts.
E36 giving a good demo of why these SUV will never be proper sports cars
This!
Not sure they ever meant for an SUV to be a sports car.
@LivingLifeSlower then they shouldn't put an M badge on it and give it stupidly stuff suspension.
Both bad points Micha mentioned as ‚bad‘ are Tuning part:
MSS springs and blue stuff pads.
Maybe the original parts just work better !?
2:20
Shifts are lightening speed!🔥

rbf 660 brake fluid is excellent
i had it on my tiburon with zimmermann brake disc brembo sport pads night and day difference against stock that was fading 2-3 hard braking
I run the same fluid on my Yamaha R1 and since started using it I never have brake fade when on the racetrack, it’s really good stuff
Great lap,another Q car in the making. Love it when the owner/ passenger realise that their car goes that well and what a good driver Misha is while he is thrashing their car!
That X3 is a beast, Tell your friend well dun man well dun :))
at 4:09 - the car was just wiping some sweat from its brow
It is the first BMW of the current ones that sounds as it should. ❤🎉
Very Cool lap, I traded my M4comp for the X3M Comp just over a year ago, not a single day have I regretted it....
The power is optimal
Yess finally Misha is getting his hands on the sporty suvs 🔥🔥🔥beautiful
Fast enough. Didn't see cars lining up to pass you! 😏 Nice lap!
absolutely love the clean sleeper look. so sick.
Actually, surprising 😮 great lap!
Awesome Lap !
What is the purpose of the small green indicator at the left of the speedometer ? Thanks
Its the lane assist which is recognizing the "lane"
@e36_323ti thanks 🤝
Do you prefer the trackhawk or the x3m?
one of the best daily cars you can get today if you need space and you car enthusiast.
I love fast family cars
Paddle shift is fantastic with this much power
The reason people buy suvs is to carry more stuff in most cases, not necessarily to go off road. At least when I bought mine, I needed more space.
The body roll on that Tanker is crazy in that intro.
Cray-zee!! 😂
Perfection. I love it!
Disappointed with how surprised people are that this thing boogies. SUVs can be fun guys.
That SUV have more balance than most so called sport cars
This was a hot lap and the power is amazing 👏 🤩
E36 was the best car I have owned in my lifetime - I even had it for 5 years - almost analogue compared to modern cars .
Owner was loving it haha!
This car sounds so beast
Damn off throttle without load, it's silent! That's insane
For a X3M was very god lap, the soud was perfect
Which one handles better the Durango hellcat or the X3?
X3M for sure (as a Durango Hellcat owner).
Even closed valves it sounds great
what a lovely sound from that x3M, very angry l6 :D
what an absolute rocket
12:33 green Opel Calibra infront. You should drive one 😛
oh at the end you can see its actually 2 of them
What’s the spring rate of these MSS springs ?
12 years I’ve known you bro, and that’s the most nervous I’ve ever saw you 😂😂
Wow straight piped and valves are the valves electronic
what a beast !!
Bootmod stage 2 tune. 93 or e85? Do you know which exhaust?
@@flsupraguy it’s the 93 Stage 2 map, the exhaust is decat downpipes, scorpion midpipe non res and then M Performance back box
Sounds so much Different to G8x even both having same S58 engine
Wild ride 👍
It sounds sooo good and that was with the valves closed? And what is this clicking noise under heavy breaking, is it the mirror thing flying around?
Okay that is a real 700hp! 240km/hr at the compression
Ok, this is a fcking beast 🤩
sounds insane
Been stuck between X3M or X5 M50i and I think this solved it
Good video
Cool car, not too sure about the Lamborghini shape number plate
No overheat?? WOW! Nice Car!
needs to check out how fast the car get in and out corners lol TRUE SLEEPER
Yup, it really felt like 700hp, even from this side of the screen. 🙂
Х3 просто самолет! Поразил мотоциклист с пассажиром🤣
it is surprisingly nimble for an over 2 ton suv
Cool car. Fast and save.
Incredible engine and gearbox. Feels totally wrong in this chassis 👍🏻
Misha can you pretty please do a lap with 2024 BMW 340i LCI 😭. I think you would really like it ❤
Get him one then
@TurboInstynkt I stay in South Africa buddy :)
did the temp gauge even flinch?
Very nice👏💪🏻❤️❤️❤️
nice sound M

Sound
어메이징 언벌리버블 😂😂😂😂 오 지져스
Why would anyone put even more hp in car which cannot handle stock urself in the first place?
It's definitely faster than 1000hp red gtr
Was ein Biest
just me or its feeding exhaust noise into the cabin??
