2025 BMW X3 M50 VS 2024 BMW X3 M40i! The BATTLE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

[@phillipseck-wx3oq]

We just traded in our 2021 X3 4 cylinder for a 2025 X3 M50, and we LOVE it. I DO miss having some of the physical buttons, though.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh cool! Yeah that's my biggest complaint with new BMW's

[@jodajale8620]

My God, that new interior looks so cheap, especially the rear air vent controls. It's like a Toyota.

[@LGonzalez-bw8kn]

No reviewers mention the elephant in the room, 2025 is cheapo repo interior to the max. Decontenting, and built to a price. No power adjustment on the steering wheel and sunroof doesn't open. Whats the matter afraid no more testers in your future if you point out these details

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah they skimped on quite a lot of things on the new one

[@alexr.7497]

The older X3 never had a power steering adjustment

[@abpakdeep]

Great review! They should add back the rear seat recline and fix the interior to have less plastic. Would prefer it to be the same height as the outgoing X3 and should add an option to get the moonroof to open.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I agree. Not the biggest fan of the new updates.

[@abpakdeep]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed however the EPSaps steering system and suspension is great in the new 2025 X3!

[@MsBoris66]

G45 look better in reel, do not underestimate the deformation by the lens

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They both have a nice style to them.

[@joshash1997]

Finally the correct comparrison

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Might as well compare several different versions. Not every comparison has to be direct competitors. People like seeing if it's worth spending more for higher trims and things like that

[@karthikJ-99]

yaa i dont know once you own a 22 model plus which is an LCI. other than the screen everything else is a downgrade in interior quality and lots of features removed. of course it drives really good as it should but the quality is just not there , i tried to trade my 22 for this but just cant with how many features removed / plastic feel of the interior. may be i should look at an x5 or next gen Q5

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure the X5 will stay the same or be improved! Interesting move they did for the X3.

[@abpakdeep]

Go for the X5! Still has the classic look and the interior of the X5 is still classy!

[@HouseHunt365]

I believe the wireless charging is standard in the 2025.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah possibly

[@pat750]

I like the 2025 enough to buy one. Ordered the 4 cylinder but that’s a good tradeoff for me (would rather have less power and $14000 more in my pocket).

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad that's what you'll enjoy!

[@wilsonmanch6773]

BMW need to stop cheaping out and copy competitors. I think the new exterior looks nice but the interior while modern but why all those cheap material? Just makes the competitors a notch more in my considerations.

[@arnaudgourdet3781]

I think there are still F25 for sale for old stylers and nonplastic finish 😂.. many people prefers F25 when G01 came out

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Probably a few 2024's still available

[@ragnarlothbrok2782]

Nope

[@arnaudgourdet3781]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed mate I stil love my good old G01 diesel but the G45 don’t deserve the hate in my opinion.. there is the X7 for those who want luxury everywhere.. I mean G45 is not that bad.. anyway I enjoy your vids from France !!

[@arnaudgourdet3781]

Finally G01 looks like very outdated !! Happy to have order my 2025 model…

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh cool!

[@jonwear9791]

Will will take the 2024 X3 the new 2025 looks like Shit.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I think it has a cool exterior look, wish some of the interior features were similar.

[@ragnarlothbrok2782]

The 2024 looks old and like garbage

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Really? I like it better lol. Both are great cars tho

[@AMTex-it-ek7vb]

no i will not go to the 25, Im one who does not care for tech in a car. I do not use it, why salesman recommended the 24. He said and true if you wont use the tech of the 24 you sure dont want more. To me the 24 sitll say bmw in front, where as 25 say typical suv or any other brand. i will trade when warranty up, probably not BMW, may go down to cadillac since not a tech laden, mercedes worst then Bmw on tech

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's not much more tech, just a different screen with some added features.

[@tonkguy]

So much hate for the new G45 it looks so so much better as for the interior tell me which brand isn’t moving towards cost cutting unless you want a Rolls Royce with a price tag of 400K just stop moaning ffs

[@AMTex-it-ek7vb]

it looks cheap inside, the silly light show and plastic all over No not moaning just stating the facts

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's not every BMW model, interesting move for the X3 though.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah, maybe they'll change back after this year lol

[@spoiler9112]

Sorry, but NOPE. The exterior of the 25 is bland and bulbous in comparison. The interior of the 24 is simply higher quality. The glossy plastic center console on the 25 is already a fingerprint mess. That goofy giant lighted "U" in the center is a MISS. The list is long of lost features. The gains don't outweigh the losses. So who's moaning?! Just got a loaded 24 M40i. Let's see what they do with the LCI and I may continue with BMW in the future...maybe.

[@tgchris2222]

2024 now looks 10 years old…..yes, I’d rather have 2024 interior but I’ll get used to 2025. I have a 2022 lease about to end.

[@g-nyce]

No side by side exhaust comparison?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They sound the same

[@smhca]

2024 look like an x1 beside the 2025…

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's a bit smaller looking sue to the design. I like the old interior bette tho

[@tgchris2222]

Omg, there’s plastic everywhere. Please tell me where outside of the door handles and paddle shifters. And the shifters can easily be swapped out. Omg, there’s no buttons. I sat in the car and in 5 minutes figured out how to quickly work or program hvac and radio stuff. Omg, I can’t open the sunroof. Well, when I open my sunroof on my 2022, there’s so much noise that it irritates me so much I close it in minutes. Omg, the car is ugly. Well, so is every other small mid size SUV. These aren’t supercars. The Macan considered the best in this category is hideous to me except in GTS trim.

[@LostSectorOnline]

2025 model sucks, headlights completely ruined, grill not that bad but still worse, and the interior is a complete disaster - they ruined so good looking door panels, added this funky-clown design. the only good thing inside is that long screen and wheel - but it comes from new X1\X2\X5 etc, meaning it is not new, but what is actually new in X3 is all worse.

[@VanillaIceCoffee]

The '25 rear is disgusting, the front is alright tho, rear + missing sunroof + led trims = hard pass

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it's a bit interesting

[@piperlani]

They ruined the New X3! It’s absolutely hideous
