2020 BMW X3M | Is This Really Necessary?

[@wking8]

This is why I prefer this channel over straight pipes. It's not just how it handles in cliche corner. Don't get me wrong, I love those guys, but a lot of their info is superficial and fun. Mark goes further and I appreciate it.

[@jradish]

yeah the straight pipes and throttle house are both excellent channels, but for real information about a car i go to savage. straight pipes and throttle house are amazing with amazing people and phenomenal videography and editing, they produce very polished and easy to watch videos, so i love watching them. But as far as relevant information about cars, it's hard to beat savage

[@VaunShiz]

Yea because they don't cover cars head to toe , they say ok it's good looking it's fast and the interior is at least not crappy ... And a box test for no reason ..

[@frozenpete788]

Some autobahn (no speed limit highway) are still ww2 concrete pads lined up. They are making a ton of roadwork but because their roads are free, some portions are still bad. And believe me. Hitting a bad joint at 200±kph (130mph ish) with a Bilstein dampened car with super stiff springs, not the most fun you can have 😂

[@23Piccolina]

You are correct! Also, because they don't care what your roads are, they make them for personal use. Sadly, this made in US product with Mexican parts is no M vehicle.

That doesn't take away from how great the car is. I know it's an SUV, but this stuff is all gonna be in the M3, and that's going to be awesome.

[@anAmishGuy]

I'm the exact same way. I've had years to get used to them, but to me SUVs are still appliances, or in some cases off-road/hauling tools, and I'm just not interested in them at all. This practice of putting tens of thousands of dollars of equipment into a heavy vehicle with a high center of gravity to try to turn it into some kind of street performance machine still strikes me as a deeply silly exercise, despite the fact that everyone has been doing it for years now and apparently people are buying them. At least this one isn't squished into an even more useless "coupe."

Is this necessary? Nope... I stay hopeful that engineers at some car company will quietly say - "You know what would make these performance CUVs/SUVs even better? A lower center of gravity." Then they quietly morph back into station wagons. Then my god damn alarm clock goes off.

[@PenCrisis]

Yes and if they took it even further? Now that we've lowered the CUV so it handles better. How about we remove 2 doors and make a shooting brake? What I'd give for a manual 911 shooting brake with a gt3 engine...

[@theMLBfan]

Station wagons!? What a nightmare! 😱

[@crsantin]

I had an X3 for several years. Not an M, just a regular X3. It was a good SUV and I quite liked it. Very reliable and it was a great vehicle for me. Great for hauling stuff and great in the winter. The M version would be fun. I don't feel bad about liking SUVs.

[@snakemain]

Porsche prices have gotten ridiculous. Got my Macan S when they first came out, loaded, for $70K. Specced out a new one with all the same options, and you're paying almost $20K extra for the new safety/tech features. Still have my '15 almost 6 years later, and it still drives fantastic. Super solid, fantastic ride, zero issues. I opted for the air suspension, and I think that makes a huge difference. I had an X5 before with rear air suspension, and it handled fine, but it had to be sooo stiff to do it. I described it as "crashing" over little bumps. It was so bumpy and loud inside. The X3M is slightly interesting, but sounds like it has a lot of that same "crashy" feel.

[@JaZoN_XD]

Man I love this channel so much. Mark and Jack are always so down to earth about things, so real.

[@Jonny_O]

This vehicle is exactly for the person who needs a single vehicle to do it all. And I can say that with authority, because I almost bought this exact model a mere five days ago. I expect my vehicles to drive well and leave an impression that doesn't fade from memory as soon as the garage door closes, but I also live in a large city with only a single garage space, and I'm a regular at Home Depot and Menards. I'm not going to strap lumber to the roof of a "proper" sports car nor am I going to walk five blocks to a garage that I can rent from a little old lady for $300/month just to properly house/protect it. The part about a husband swindling his wife in order to get her buy-in made me wonder if you guys had a hidden microphone in my kitchen, and it was because of that debate that we ultimately went for a GLC63 instead. An excellent video, gentlemen.

[@xavriz]

What made you go with the GLC over the X3?

[@Jonny_O]

​@@xavriz A few reasons. First, I always wanted a V8-powered Benz since I was a kid with car posters on my bedroom wall, and I figured it might be my last opportunity to get one before the whole world goes electric, or Mercedes went bonkers and decided that a hybrid four-banger was somehow a suitable replacement. Second, my wife already had a C-class so she was already somewhat familiar with the design, controls, etc. Third, we also had some problems securing the specific model of X3M that we wanted due to the the first wave of pandemic-related supply chain snafus.

[@AlexGray]

2 years later, how has the GLC been?

[@mikesmith1702]

best part of BMW is getting them 50% off 2 years after buying. Gotta love the depreciation.

Eh, sounds about right to me. I live in an upper middle class area, and typically it's women I see driving these types of cars (BMW or Porsche SUV's.) Rarely do I see men behind the wheel of these vehicles. While their doctor hubby's at work, these non-working trophy wives are out spending his money. They're not driving these SUV's because they're car enthusiasts, they're driving them because it's an accessory, like a Coach purse. P.S. I'm a woman, so don't call me sexist. I'm just stating facts.

[@pascutia]

[@brandonchism6960]

My friend has both (X3MC and X3 M40i). He drives the comp package and his wife drives the M40i. She already had hers as they were preparing to move from CA to WY. His F80 M3 was traded for the X3MC and he's happy with it as a replacement for that car. Unless you just have to have the M, save the money and get the M40i. According to him, it rides better, sounds great, offers significant savings over the M versions, and the lease and finance offers from BMW are far more aggressive.

[@sulfuricanaljuice3994]

M40i + tune = best compromise

[@jradish]

also there's plenty of aftermarket support for the b58 in the x3 m40i, so even tho the s58 has a stronger bottom end and makes more power stock, you can still modify the b58 with basic upgrades (tune, downpipe, injectors, less restrictive air filter and exhaust) and you can boost the hp quite a bit, I've heard the b58 can handle 600hp as is which is awesome, and you can do it for less than the price difference of the x40i vs x3m.

I find it funny how people are comparing a new BMW to 20k used S2000 and comparing them for value as a sports car. The X3M is not trying to be an M3, it‘s trying to be a compromise - which is exactly why it is a compromise. We car guys don‘t like it cause it‘s an M which is not sporty enough for us, but it‘s not really marketed at us. It is marketed at people with the needs that the owner of this car describes in the video. I think it‘s a nice car but I would not like to pay 70k for it, since it‘s not what I‘m looking for.

I went from the m40i to the x3m comp. The m40i is definitely the sweet spot. It's still REALLY good performance, better fuel economy, and FAR better ride. I had to be extra and go with more power, but the m40i really is a treat.

[@cool2zing19]

I trust your reviews so much and you the only serious straight to business review you have really good knowledge and after watching your videos I learnt few things about cars.

[@tzukima]

would love to hear your thoughts on the m340 - seems like a good combination of performance + daily driver, but price is kinda nuts for what it is.

[@coopsnz1]

Wrong it good value, the basic 340 didn't get m package for $50000usd in 2018 , the M pack standard now for $54000usd . M4 comp is $80000usd that expensive really . But you can blame Germany Government and Union leaders greed in Germany it expensive. You can't compare price to car built in capitalist country like USA

Choice of which one ever breakdown least.

[@worldofz00]

These fast SUVs are those who don't want to give up their (but have to) sports sedans/coupes, and whose wife is allowing them to get the performance version of it. From a driving dynamic standpoint, I cannot see why someone would immediately gravitate towards this first and say "I want an X3M" without having to explain some reasoning after it versus an M340i.

[@jameswillard1]

Sawa Bull a Cherokee SRT wouldn’t see which way this X3M Competition went. If you mean a Track Hawk that’s barely any faster either

[@lisamuel41]

[@paulkitchen5802]

Great reveiw on the most important details instead of trying to cover everything because you did it on the last X3 review. I have great roads and I love it! It is crazy fast and everytime I get in it I get excited like I do getting suited up for a ride on my Triump 765 street triple RS! Listen to that engine. BMW made a turbo 6 sound intoxicating. That interior sound is not pumped in and no crackles and pops like my X3M40 i and at first I missed it but crackles and pops get old.

[@Zoltec-q1g]

Hey guys, great video! Could you please review the BMW Z3? I‘m looking to buy one and I really would like to see a review by you guys. 😊

[@MarkRVillano]

My obligatory BMW post: BMW should put a *Depreciation Gauge* on the dashboard right next to the tachometer. It would have to be something like a calendar / odometer combo gauge, with a dollar figure overlay, so you could see just how much value your new BMW is losing with every passing mile, and every passing day. This gauge would run continually in the background, so that when you get into the vehicle after a prolonged absence, it would be able to tell you exactly how much less it is worth since the last time you drove it. I would also suggest that they include a *Doomsday / Sunset* feature with the depreciation gauge, (they could market it as a package!). This feature would activate when the car has achieved *Maximum Worthlessness* , which can best be described as the point where it would make more sense financially to have it crushed and made into a coffee table, than it would to replace the carbon ceramic brakes.

[@markp9366]

Idk man a 5000 hp garbage truck sounds kinda cool to me

[@bkkostic6022]

We should stop comparing X3 with Macan. Macan is Compact size. I’m 6’6” I can’t fit on the rear seat of Macan. Cargo area is smaller too. Simply, they are not the same size. X3 is larger (it is as large as X5 gen1).

[@bunneche]

"You can throw a 5,000 hp motor in a garbage truck it is still a garbage truck" lol

[@ContrarianDC_KAF]

Reasonable review. I'd like to think that "value proposition" is very much subjective.

[@richards6367]

I have an X3 M40i I keep at my holiday home, amazing performance, sound and ride quality. Test drove the X3M, that ride comfort is bone crushingly hard, utterly unpleasant, and actually feels too fast. The X5M gives a much better ride, firm but not unpleasant, and has much the same performance but that chassis and setup is a far better fit for it. I elected to get the X5M50i for the balance of performance, ride quality, handling and luxury.

[@dragospahontu]

On the other hand, I use the same generation X3 to explore abandoned mines in Nevada (special-ordered a version with spare for running over 70-year-old nails while 30 miles east of Gabbs). It rides tons better than Wrangler than I had before. And, I sleep in the back. And, I can throw all the long guns lengthwise.

nice review. how is the reliability like? after what time or how many miles does it start breaking down or giving problems?

[@vr6gls]

Sorry, regardless of the performance I just can't get behind the "sporty" SUV segment. If you want sports car dynamics with practicality, why not buy a wagon?

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Same. It's a comment some people dislike reading, but it's true for the vast majority of us. You cannot have road contact feel in these big bloated bath tubs on wheels.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

A valid question. I had a modded Legacy GT wagon. I loved it. However, there is something about the seating position of an SUV, and its added ground clearance if you live in snow country, that makes it somehow more desirable.

[@tinhinnh]

hugolafhugolaf true dat

[@weedmastersr]

Only rational reason I see is that in some nasty or third world places around the world you really do need the ride height and sliver of increased off-road capability in order to not completely destroy and ruin your car. For example I live in Eastern Europe and drive a Volvo wagon with 13 cm ground clearance but I can't tell you how many times I've hit my oil pan and nearly cracked it open, or destroyed my exhaust. . You can't even park near a curb here without fearing of destroying the front bumper because they're so high. That's why the Lamborghini Urus has been a hit with rich people in countries like Russia, India or other places with terrible roads. Unfortunately, it seems Illinois, Michigan and other places in the US fit this mold.

[@TheImperfectGuy]

Why not buy a wagon? The answer is simple Vanity

[@williamlong2682]

The M treatment is over the top for just a daily driver CUV. Totally agree there. I’d just go with the M40i personally if I was going to get an X3.

This is what people don’t understand, but BMW knows people will buy a $100K sports SUV so they do it still. They’re just catering to the market as they should.

Ben Chesterman but sporty SUVs like this suck at off roading. Not even the standard X3 is good at it.

[@Ziegfried82]

@@wax333 this thing has way too much power for a daily commuter. Most of it's power is wasted for people who refuse to speed way over the limit. And bringing something like this to a race track all I can do is laugh, nobody who buys this is gonna be doing that. This is basically a drag racing SUV with bad ride quality...you can surprise people at stoplights for laughs like a sleeper car that's about it. "OMG that SUV smoked my Mustang!" The higher center of gravity means it's never gonna be able to handle turns like a true sports car but hey I guess it can kind of compete in the American muscle car segment?

Seriously. BMW built a stat of the art plant in Greenville/Spartenburg SC USA 25 years ago. X3,X4,x5,X6,X7 are all made there for the entire world. Watch a video on the production of one of the models and see that a plant in US is just as good or better than one in Germany or Japan. You probably will never be able to afford one even 10 years old but if you could you will see it is a monster and will outperform a Mercedes, Porsche, Alfa, Jag for thousands less.

[@nnn-pr3vr]

Saw on IG some german tuners swapped the turbo and downpipe, gave it a tune and got 850 horsepower on an otherwise stock x3m.. insane.
