2022 BMW X3M Competition | Filthy Animal

We do a follow-up review on the updated 2022 BMW X3M Competition, to determine if the changes made it better or worse. In this video, we talk about the adjustments made to performance, interior, and exterior design. The performance is off the charts, but so is the price of our tester. Other options include Audi RSQ5, Porsche Macan, Mercedes, and Genesis GV70.

Finally, someone understands what BMW is doing with their interiors. I hear far too often that BMW interiors are boring, and that they can’t keep up with Mercedes or Audi. That’s not true. I work for BMW, and have been told by Corporate that they want an easy to use layout, so that driver’s can focus on the road.

[@emadmahmood3268]

Well I wouldnt say boring, the interior leather and ambient lighting just makes it so much better, interior layout is nothing if there is no quality and with that, BMW delivers. BMW offers far more interior color choice than audi and Mercedes on most of there models, I think BMW interiors are great.

Not really related, but this "boring" interior is why I prefer the 7 series over the S class. Not too many screens going on in the interior. I just hope their exterior designs become more cohesive going forward. The new 3 and 4 series, the i series cars and the XM aren't looking good at all, and that will hurt the brand image.

Usually I agree with you two but I drove the m40i x3 and the maccan back to back and i loved the x3 more. The iDrive is so good that I never use apple car play anymore. The engine is superb and one of the smoothest turbo charged engines in the game. The m version sounds even better.

[@MrTresto]

The X3 M40i is a little bit less precise than a Macan, but it has more character. Sometimes a car being a bit 'too perfect' is not quite as fun ... The B58 (particularly how they tuned it in the M40i at 382hp) is all rough and rumbly and has torque at just about every RPM, while still being smooth when you don't push it. I enjoy it very much too. And while it's not as fast as a X3M (B58 vs S58), it's still plenty powerful and it has a much better ride than the X3M, particularly with the 19" wheels ... I think it's a better compromise for road usage honestly.

[@machtschnell7452]

Mark and Jack understand "boring" BMW interiors. When one desires a functioning interior, the design coalesces around one particularly functional design. Physical controls are not completely abandoned for deep menus for immediately needed controls. Alternatively available user designated shortcut switches are available. The owner can make the information systems work for them rather than being forced to adapt to some pretty abstract video game parlor design.

[@johnpearson492]

This so much! What's funny is BMW kind of invented the useless interior in 2002 with the e65 and have since come full circle and now build some of the most useable modern interiors for high end cars.

[@lamakicker69]

And now they are, smh unless you ordered one in the first year they now all come with the new giant screen iDrive 8 interior. People say it’s not all that bad but no way it’s better than physical controls, screens are great for most things but climate control or volume control physical controls are so much better.

[@jamesmin2837]

Curious to hear about your IS500 sir. I'll be honest, it's a tough sell for me over the M340i personally. And I say personally, because I already have a V8 rwd sportscar for the summer--I think I would want a more sober daily vehicle than the IS500. That means AWD, larger cabin, better tech, etc.. but, on the flip side, you have the long term Lexus reliability, which what you also want for daily driver.

[@luisqueremelmilani5023]

@@jamesmin2837 I totally get that. And for us, the IS500 became the right car due to the V8 (I’ll be parting ways from my E39 M5), we have had more lively cars too (Porsche 911 and Caymans) which are too low for my wife since she had a knee procedure, and so the IS500 offers that combo of retro, luxury, and analog that I was looking to get. For me, its not about going fast, it’s about the handling and connecting with the car as your reach speed. The M340 is a phenomenal car, but after spending way too much money in modern BMW maintenance, I promised the wife that I would lean towards reliability which “limits” me to her own perception of reliability based on “facts” which is Lexus and Porsche. So at this price range, for us this would be a well equipped Macan/Macan S or the IS500 and I prefer the understated (somewhat) perception of the Lexus vs the Porsche and lower maintenance costs. Again, I’m a unique use case, but from the dealer that I have been working with, most people are looking for a reasonably fun, luxurious ride and are long term Lexus fans. Perhaps the same folks that wanted a GSF but didn’t pull the trigger at the time.

I have 10k on my 2020 and everything you said is spot on! For the average enthusiast the X3M 40I with the B58 is a way better proposition but I traded that in for this and the S58. The turbo motor that sounds, revs and acts like a NA. Revs to 7200rpm maybe 7400 limiter. I love the Idrive 6 with the old fashion speedo and tach in the 2020 and not all the complicated menus and metal on the dash. If you turn off all the nanny's mdm/dsc there is nothing to save you except your skills. Every time I fire her up I feel like I am going for a ride not a drive. I plan on keeping this one for a long time! I love that the average person has no idea that this will blow the doors off of 99% of anything on the road in acceleration and handling. Keep hating also because I like to drive rare cars that don't cost a fortune🤑 but are rare. The only thing that changed is it used to cost $30 to fill up now it is $60🤔.

It simply came down to which car “rides/drives” the very best as daily driver in fun full send beast-mode and as a regular daily driver. This is the best review for this car and it covers the one thing this car has yet to address *ride quality.

Lastly, the summer tires that these cars come equipped with are fantastic for “SUMMER” the same tires in the “All Season” variant the Yokohama AdvanSport / AS simply make this car a flat out joy to drive!

I've had 4 versions of iDrive over the years. It has improved significantly in each rev, for the most part. I actually think iDrive 6 was the best of them, rather than iDrive 7 in my current car. It was VERY intuitive for use with the iDrive wheel. 7 was born with Touch Screen assumed, and some features are now a little awkward to use with just the wheel (which is easier to use while moving without taking your eyes off the road at all). Thankfully, the voice commands have improved and do work for most of the slightly awkward bits of the OS.

I test drove 2 GLC63S (1 SUV and 1 Coupe) and then felt like something was missing from the drive. (it didn't help that I just got out of my M2 to walk into the GLC test drive) I then test drove an X3M and immediately remembered what was missing; the driving engagement/fun to drive aspect. Although I do agree the X3M is on the firmer side, the GLC was the complete opposite and way too comfortable for it to be engaging, it felt disconnected from the road. I size down to 20" for winter setup here in Canada and it does help smooth out the stiffness a bit. Honestly at this price point there is nothing that drives like it in the segment other than the Stelvio Quadrifoglio but I heard too many reliability horrors with it to gamble with it. As always, great review !

Size down for summer as well tbh. Find a rim/tire size you're content with and keep the same dimensions but just swap winter/summer tires. It's an SUV not a gt3 RS...

Great review guys! My wife drives one daily and I always grab the keys when it's not being used. As far as the ride comfort, the aftermarket solves this. We run MSS adjustable springs coupled with the stock active dampeners. The softer rates have improved the ride and my two kids haven't complained at all on roadtrips. Have serviced it twice at BMW dealerships and they haven't said anything about the adj springs or denied any claims (they replaced a whole headlight assembly because of led failure). I love this thing 🥳

[@dodo19923]

Half of the problem with ALL new cars and people complaining about harsh rides is the fact they have SUV's running on low(ish) profile tires and 21's. There just isn't enough cushioning between the last metal point of contact and the road. Best solution for an x3m? Go down to 20's and a 10mm wider tire front and rear along with a one size larger profile than stock so 255/40r21 to 265/45r20 for example. It makes all the difference, suits the car looking meaty and helps ride quality without ripping the OEM suspension out. Personal opinion but low profiles on cars nowadays is fucking gaudy and pointless. It's nothing more than a vanity item as the majority of owners will never push their car enough ON TRACK to warrant rim/tire setups brands give you from the showroom. Bit of a rant lol.

[@Jueen_]

Honestly most dealerships don’t care, bmw is the one that cares and they won’t single you out, unless you have a tune and you keep breaking parts then that’s when you gotta worry, we got modified cars with meth injection all the time and they’re still fine regarding warranty

That cool shortcut buttons feature that shows you what they do when you hover your finger on them is actually a long time(ish) BMW feature! My 2011 M3 had them, and im sure most other E9x cars (or at least LCI ones). Surprised me when I first discovered that they did that and thought it was really cool and well thought out by BMW. I used my shortcuts to turn off the iDrive hump screen and dark mode for the nav.

[@RoyBelluomini]

As a previous 2020 X3M owner I had 2 main gripes. The ride (as you mentioned in the video). The powerband. Unless you were using launch control it was a total dud under 60mph. Useless for stop and go daily driving. Above 60 it had so much power I couldn’t even use it because I was in triple digits in no time. Traded for an M340i. Not as fast in the quarter but that single turbo spools so much faster than the twins that it’s much better in traffic. I also picked up a trackhawk. That satisfied my off the line throttle response and softer ride suv. Not as refined or pretty as the X3M but I enjoy driving it much more than I did the X3M.

Agree with the review. It’s a very rough ride for a daily driver. I test drove it with the OEM run flats and the ride was very harsh and jarring in comfort mode. I’m sure it would be better shod with regular tires.

[@monyx1101]

"you're not buying this as a sports car replacement" I bought an X4M Comp precisely because I could not get a Z or a Supra down my steep drive into the garage. So while an SUV suited me for towing jetskis, accessing an incredibly steep driveway and general coastal lifestyle I did have my heart set on traditional sports car so the performance & handling as well as the practicality were up there for me.

[@trephination1]

I just swapped my 21 BMW M2 competition for a 2022 X3M competition, and many people look at the price tag and think it's alot but when you look at the performance numbers this is like BMW mini trackhawk, it defies physics in so many ways. This thing can pretty much annihilate anything on the road in it's stock form, when you see what any srt product is currently going for, this is pretty much bang for your buck and way more upscale than those vehicles when you consider this to be at least $15-20k less in the current market , it becomes an enticing offering, once you drive sports cars and use to the ride that sports cars are supposed to have this honestly isn't as bad as advertised by some reviewers but some people don't understand what they are signing up for and think they will be gliding on Aladdin's carpet but I daily drive this and it is truly a joy to drive and this is a keeper in the long term

[@scotthilly5653]

Great video guys, though I would add one note - an X3 has far, far more space than a Macan. I’m 6’2 and considered both those, a Stelvio (which I ended up getting), and a few others like the XC60 and SQ5. I could fit behind myself with room to spare in all of them with the Stelvio being tight, but the Macan was an entirely different level. If you ever have anyone in the backseat or use cargo capacity, the Macan is simply too small - smaller even than my GTI. That could be a deciding factor and I think was glossed over.

[@JavonAnonimni]

What made you decide for Alfa Romeo and not BMW?

[@memememine1]

Yes I totally agree. I have a first gen q5. I assumed the macan being closely related would be similar size. It's slightly smaller on the outside but somehow significantly smaller on the inside.

[@JakeDrives1]

Agreed. I've been considering a Macan and that's part of my hesitation. I have an XC60 R design currently and the back seat is really nice! I wish it had some recline, but I rode half way cross-country back there and it was wonderful! The climate controls in the second row really help with overall comfort.

[@scotthilly5653]

@@JavonAnonimni Got it back in 2019 and got $11k (yes, really) off a $55k Stelvio Ti Sport. So, price! But I wanted it because the 4 cylinder is considerably more powerful and (surprisingly, since bmw underrated) a lot quicker - I think the Stelvio traps at about 100 in the quarter vs 95 or so for the X3. Plus, I owned a 2017 340i and found the ZF 8 speed to be way too slow in comfort and over aggressive in sport and feared the same for the x3. I love the Alfa ZF tuning. Lastly, just thought the Stelvio was cool. Is the interior as high quality? No, but the main touch points (steering wheel, sports seats, paddle shifters) were nicer IMO. It was also SIGNIFICANTLY more fun, way better steering and ride, and I have the performance package with adaptive dampers and the rear mechanical LSD, the former of which few x3’s have and the latter which no 4 cylinder x3’s have. X3’s are kind of a mom car to me, and I found the Stelvio to be fun, unique, and have a lot of personality. I really recommend driving one if you haven’t!

[@JakeDrives1]

Back when they first came out I test drove the X3 M40i and SQ5 back to back.. The X3 blew my mind as to how sharp and focused it was. The Audi on the other hand was like a fast mattress. So cozy and isolated. I walked away that day with the Audi as my pick because I loved the top notch ride and cabin isolation. The powertrain of the Audi was adequate but far from remarkable. The powertrain of the BMW was unforgettable, however. I've seen and heard so many comments about the bad ride in the X3m, I wouldn't be able to consider one on that alone. It sure is a mean machine, though! I wonder if the refreshed M40i is any improvement in ride comfort over the M.. So glad BMW is somewhat "back".. Another great review, boys!

[@evaristocorripio5434]

I really don't get the sporty suvs, specially when they compromise on the suv advantages which are ride and space. Audi does them excellent because they are still very comfortable which is what people want on a daily suv, but it is plenty fast for when you want to race someone or just have fun. If you want a very sharp and focused vehicle, just get a car and not an suv.

[@MCompeticione]

I own X3 m40i and its perfect as a family car with 2 kids. I have passive suspension and 20in staggered wheels so ride is stiff. Looking to upgrade to X3M probably next. The Macan is much smaller and rear seat is almost useless if you have kids with car seats.
