@@JonathanProphete-l5g Congrats on your purchase! I think you will be in generally good shape with your G01 X3. The B48 2.0L engine yours has should be a lot more reliable than the N20 2.0L that the F25 X3 had. The N20 had some major issues with timing chain guides. I think you may end up with some cooling system issues down the line 5-7 more years probably due to some of the plastic components but the engine water pumps are back to mechanical from the more failure prone electrical that the F25 generation had. Not a bad idea to think about cooling system overhaul in the 65-70K mileage range or ~8-10 yrs of age on modern BMWs in general. I recommend oil changes every 5-6K miles going forward to help keep everything happy in that engine, transmission fluid drain and fill at 80K, transfer case fluid at 50-55K and front and rear diff fluid every 30-35k miles and you’ll be on your way to hopefully a long and happy ownership.

@@cfe3226 Nope, just enjoyed that one in the moment

@@DennisFurio super wholesome stuff and you can see Matt smile about him doing it

It was a sick playlist for sure

Hell yeah! What a night eh?

@@mmone1178 Congratulations!

If you go with a 35i (N55 3.0L engine) I recommend 5,000 mile oil changes to help keep it healthy. I plan on making an update video soon-ish. My X3 is at 52K miles now and I haven't had any additional issues pop up that I didn't mention in this video.

It is, BMW 18107919236 is the part number for it.

I posted this during the early opening of the ride on a Saturday when season pass holders could ride it before the general public. Since it's called Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger, I was just making a reference to the phrase "The Doctor is in (the office)." because the ride was now open at the park.

2017 model years after a certain build date, I recall it being late November 2016 have a slightly newer idrive/computer version and the ability to have Apple CarPlay activated through BMWs connected drive system for $300. I had someone on the Bimmerpost forum code it for me. I believe you also have to have the navigation pro option. I think the code is (609)

@@tyler951 thanks for the great video! I'm getting my 2017 X3 next week and it's my first BMW. I'm so freaking excited!!

@@shannonkosko2243 Congratulations! Don’t be surprised if you get ruined for other car brands based on how good it drives. Since I made this video I haven’t had any other issues. Just completed some normal maintenance items and installed some fresh tires before making a drive to Chicago and back and it was excellent on the trip. It has about 52K miles now.

There is another video on my channel that explains everything.

I highly recommend a pre-purchase inspection with any used BMW or car in general. Going well. I'm at 48900 miles. Just DIY rotated the tires and did a brake fluid flush, still living with the very minor oil leak at the turbo. I clean it up every 3-4 months with brake clean and a couple of blue shop towels. I sent off an oil sample to Blackstone labs from the last oil change (5500 miles on the oil) and it came back very good. I'll probably be replacing the tensioner, pulleys and belt in the next couple of months. The tensioner is rattling a little bit. Planning on changing the transfer case fluid sometime this year as well, around 50k miles is recommended.

I've tracked ~15k miles on Fuelly over 54 fuel logs, best 28.8 mpg (I was basically hypermiling it on this one, ecopro mode driving below the 70-75 speedlimit on a 400+ mile drive to visit family), worst 16.4 mpg and I've averaged 23.1 mpg with about a 70% highway 30% city split. It can easily return teens if you drive spiritedly. I drive it pretty conservatively overall.

I’m happy it helped you!

Hi - I’m planning to buy one with 90k miles . Did you get any problems with the car ?

No, it’s still a very slow and small leak. I just check on it and clean it up every 3-4 months. It’s nothing a couple of paper towels and a little brake clean blast can’t quickly take care of.

@@tyler951 is it still doing it I’ve been doing the same thing on my 2015 f10 535

@@nikobellic2731 Yes it is! I checked it about 2 weeks ago after about 4 months and 4000 miles of driving and cleaned it up again. Still very slow leak and was handled with 1 blue shop towel and brake clean

Thanks! Vibrant Streetpower 1149 muffler with 2nd resonator (the one closest to the muffler deleted) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3aukoF8arlsqLc

Hi! I believe Apple car play was only available as an option to be added or "bought" for this generation of X3 after build date around December 2016 I believe. I'm not sure if technology package was required, I think just navigation and the bigger display was necessary. the coding was done from someone online through the Bimmerpost forum.

Watch one race in person and you will have a much greater appreciation for just how good they are driving on the edge. You could see them almost drifting at 170+ mph coming out of turn 4.

Still no issues, screen is perfect without a single scratch or failing reflective coating. I don't remember which part number was the original screen, I don't have it any longer but I want to say it was lq088k5rz05. Please do check your part number on your screen before ordering. Depending on the model year I think there could be a different connector. This is what I put in my maintenance record: 8.8 inch LCD panel for CID (center information display) failed and became largely illegible. Replaced with Sharp LCD panel part lq088k5rz05/lq088k5rz01 Ordered from Opuradio.com $88 part price + shipping and service fees.

I won’t say that there is absolutely no drone but I doubt that anyone would be bothered by the frequency of noise it does make at constant RPM on the highway. Though if you just do the muffler it would be even less.

Maybe it depends on editing skills, which is often the same as time!?

I thought about that after I uploaded it. I promise it works though! Still working and still completely perfect as far as the anti glare coating goes as well. Definitely one of my more satisfying repairs since I look at and use it literally every time I drive.

I totally understand. I only got this X3 because I've had the experience and a wealth of knowledge of what can go wrong. If you have the ability to have one under warranty, that's the best way to go unless you are confident in doing a lot of services and work on your own.

@@tyler951 I want to get an X3. Either an N52 or B58 one. I have a general view of the breadth of what can go wrong & I know I’m signing up for a different experience. I’ll not be able to get one under warranty so I also know the implications of that at least. I know I’ll eventually get used to it but still wary until then.

@@RadBunny2269 If you can swing a G01 X3 xDrive M40i with the B58, that is the one to have. I specifically wanted the F25 xDrive 35i because I like that you can have the powerful engine (N55) without it having to have the "mSport" look unlike the G01 and LCI G01 and I really liked the xLine appearance package. It lends some pretention to off road ability which works better for a SUV/SAV for me.

@@tyler951 That was the plan, if doable. N55 x-Drive 35i’s a fallback option.

Mine is still leaking. I'm still not sure where it's coming from. About to check up on it again when I do an oil change in the next week or so though. I'm not new to BMWs and slow oil leaks.

Oh ok. I removed my turbo thinking it was the feed line but it was dry when I finally got it out. Waiting on a new Turbo cartridge now. Hopefully that fixes it.

@@KingRoyalTV let me know, I’m thinking it might also be the cartridge on mine too. Just finished the scheduled vehicle check that my car said was due. No other leaks other than at the turbo and it’s still very minor. Was 5 months since I last checked it and there wasn’t much to clean up.

Will do. Fingers crossed I have no more leaks!

Exit of turn 4 is better tbh

Oh yeah. Someone posted a side by side years ago of the muffler only and the muffler with 2nd resonator deleted and it was pretty clear that it ads an extra level of aggression. I still really like it and it has a burble off throttle now too.
