Thomas, I have watched automotive journalists' videos from England, Ireland, and many from the USA, but you are clearly the best because you are so very thorough and most importantly, you address relevant and important aspects/issues for prospective car buyers and owners. So, please keep up your superior work! I greatly enjoy your video reviews, which are clearly "THE" most informative in the automotive industry. Cheers, FlyboyFlash

Autogefühl For sure the most complete and honest reviews on KZbin. Question Thomas; Brian has a long torso , I think you may have long legs! I have compared your back seat comparisons with others (similar or taller presenters). I guess you are a guide and everyone is different. Keep up the great work.

[@blacklablover2982]

I think you may have a technical hitch. Adds are in German but I am watching in the UK. I normally watch the adds but no point in this one. 😀 Another great review which I thoroughly enjoyed. I particularly like and appreciate your comparisons and assessments between the various models. Probably the best car review Chanel on You Tube (in my opinion). Just ordered an Audi Q7 and just wished you had a current video review of this model.

[@autogefuehl]

Thx so much! We have q7 reviews, youtube search Autogefuehl audi q7 :)

[@kacatley9258]

Are there better reviewers than Thomas and crew? Nah, no way.. in 4K and the most thorough! 👏🏾 from Texas! Thinking of 2018 F15 or G01.. gotta have HUD and drivers assistance packages.

[@autogefuehl]

🙌🙌🙌

[@AbstractJan]

Hello. I have the same dilema. F15 vs G01. What car did you choose? Witch one is more comfortable? The X5 have air suspension on rear, but the X3 is newer generation...

[@ddyracer7084]

I noticed when I got into the vehicle how quiet it was over the previous one. Was quite taken back at first. Also, the interior quality is definitely better. The outgoing model was lower quality. I also observed that the weather lining around front and back has a tighter seal also across the roof rails as well, why the second gen received such poor QA in regards to build is strange for a 50k to 60k range vehicle.

[@KonvoyChief]

Interesting comparison to the X1 especially the size part. Need to test drive it now to see if it's worth considering.

[@user-cl3xi7dt3t]

Very nice😍, we want you to experience GLS 63 AMG❤❤

[@autogefuehl]

thanks stay tuned!

[@jrdk9276]

Good morning fellas!

[@alanohashi224]

I have this car from December 1, 2018, and pretty much agree with what Thomas says. People at my office asked me last week, how do I like my X3 (30i version) and I said it "calms me down." It's exactly what he said, it's so quiet and smooth in operation. I had the prior 2013 X3 35i with the 300 HP turbo six and liked the surging power but it wasn't a "calm" car like my 2019 X3 30i. I think he says "grown-up" as well which says it perfectly. I like his precision in describing operations and hits the relevant points nicely. Having driven loaner 2018 X3 35i, X1's and X2's, I much prefer the X3 package. There was a numbness and squirrel-y feeling to them especially on my daily super-high curving transition from Hwy. 580 to Hwy. 24. I didn't like it. No such problem with my new X3, it's solid, confident and smooth. Also I like the usable space with the headroom (I didn't even consider the X4 for this reason, plus don't love the styling because it has such a big rear butt), rear seat and storage room. The 2019 X3 30i is a beautifully balanced car, works well, nicely designed, performs well enough power and handling-wise to keep me happy. It feels like it might be lower than my previous X3, I don't have to climb up into it. Though dimension-ally it's bigger, it's funny because it actually feels smaller than my old car, when you're driving or parking. Not mentioned was the rear tailgate: Besides opening, I can also close it from inside the car, or using the foot gesture control which I love. It even beeps to warn you, and tested it on my friend and it will stop closing if it touches your head! Huge functional improvement, I use this every day with groceries, etc. My wife has a 2014 328GT and my newer car's gesture sensor is greatly improved. And I really like the interior (and exterior) night ambient lighting. Good review and I especially like being out with Thomas on the streets of Germany. So it's not all high speed Autobahn's?

[@autogefuehl]

Thx for the report! Yeah most is limited and full of traffic:)

[@IrishManJT]

Well done.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers!

[@marcinf9926]

Good review, just missing an Autobahn run at 200kph.

Woohoo, American car review finally!

[@Rjl41]

21:09 the famous Esso gas station!!!! YES!!!

[@golfbuddy1969]

“Let’s go” was a little sedate... need your coffee? Much improved over previous gen X3 to my eyes. Also, it looks better on the road than in pics and videos.

[@yst42]

Notification gang!

[@MrKinezos01]

Nice Review Thomas! we spoken recently at Facebook

[@autogefuehl]

thanks m8 !

[@celimpilobuthelezi3280]

It's the very good machine I like it

[@hyungminchoo2974]

Hey Thomas, Always enjoying your videos from South Korea! If I may request, I was hoping you could do a Discovery Sport vs BMWx3 vs Benz GLC comparison. It would be a very interesting video. Also, How about the new Range Rover or the Range Rover Sport? Discovery perhaps? I like Land Rover products (expect their reliability) so if you get the chance please consider! Thank you!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! We have all those reviews, Best is to KZbin search Autogefuehl brand model (and just fill in their respective names)

[@TenB33rs]

Seriously though, (on a separate topic) It would be cool if you could give us a numerical reference for the db's in side the cabin of the vehicles you test at say idle and at 100 kmph. I for one would be quite interested in that information. Thanks again.!!

[@Gemini530]

Which one has a more quiet and comfortable ride? The X3 or the new X5?

[@dwergmaster]

Thanks for the review Thomas! If 6 L/100km is the lowest consumption achievable on low speed, that is actually quite bad. Toyota RAV4 averages these kind of numbers with all conditions combined.

[@allan.n.7227]

Great review as always.. Solid step up in interior refinement (except for the sharp edge).. I still strongly dislike the extruding displays though.. Anyone: How is the X3 handling compared to a regular 3series ? Is it as fun to drive as the 3?

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! Listen to this driving part here (i did some remarks on that) - and then to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIeUhmyLYrOqgqM

[@narayankannan9679]

Nice review Thomas. That plastic insert at the bottom of the rear bumper looks so cheap

[@autogefuehl]

cheers pal!

[@alexmercer8042]

Well X1 is FWD, naturally it has way more leg room. Recently I tested a 2004 Laguna, a bit more legroom despite being 34cm shorter than my E32 :D

[@tumimanthata4991]

Can you review the 2019 X3 30i M SPORT

[@CZWhitek]

Have I just noticed at 4:05 and 4:12 that the exhaust is already covered with rust???

[@JBOsurf]

The 40i is very comfortable.

[@Sean-me4fv]

I was pleased to find out recently that my new (August 2019) X3 Xdrive30i will come with Live Cockpit Professional, wireless charging, and Apple CarPlay as standard.

[@drcynicalz9977]

We’re is the wireless charging?

[@markfagan8263]

I will of course spread the word. Let’s get to one million plus subscribers!

[@autogefuehl]

yiha! =)

[@richardnimijean9195]

Apart from price, How does the X3 compare to the Honda CR-V Hybrid you reviewed?

[@ozzyozaki]

Hi Thomas, thx and Congrats for one more excellent review! 😉 one thing I missed goes to the digital driver cockpit: do you know if it’s possible to configure the GPS info in there as Audi system for instance allows? I believe the all new X5 already has this feature incorporated, but not sure on the X3 one... seems to be a bit more limited to me...thx once again

[@autogefuehl]

cheers! U mean GPS info all over the display or something?

[@ozzyozaki]

Autogefühl yep... or at least in the center of it since I saw that it’s not a full digital cockpit, right?

[@autogefuehl]

no indeed the Audi offers more flexibility in that respect

[@ozzyozaki]

Thx for clarifying Thomas!

[@davidgiles9751]

Love the reviews Thomas - they're always very comprehensive and detailed. However, there's nothing that beats a good quality real leather seat. I have a 2018 VW Alltrack SE with the "leatherette" seats. While it's nice. and certainly better than the vinyl of the olden days, it's not even close to leather. Also, it's not like cattle ranchers are slaughtering cows just for seat leather.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks David! Cows are slaughtered for leather, it is the most profitable part of the body. It is not a byproduct of meat (just google "leather byproduct" and you ll find plenty of resources). And if a cow is being used for both, it doesnt matter for which cause she was killed. Nothing beats high quality seats for which no animals were killed - and I hope that manufacturers keep improving the more sustainable variant.

[@darexdarex]

Maybe VW leatherette is very poor compared with BMW's Sensatec?

[@autogefuehl]

For sure there are quality differences, I think it depends on the stage of development, on the brand and even the model. Leatherette has improved massively over the years, but there are still different quality grades out there

[@haru_haru_har_har8213]

Great video as always! Just a suggestion. Would be nice to have some interactive votes. Perhaps you could ask your questions then let the people vote their answers. That way you'd get some sort of statistics XD While also being able to comment too.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! Polls in the videos are possible indeed

[@mrmawibo]

asymmetric not asynchronous: synchronous means 'at the same time' and symmetric means 'identical shape on both sides'

[@woutervanes3533]

Compared to the new X5 and X7 these kidney grille is better, although it is close to being too big. Why not putting those on the X5 and X7 and putting a little bit more openings in the lower part (cooling)...

[@sale0705979]

Thomas, great review! What do you think , is X3 more sporty to drive then Q5 ?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! They re both quite sporty imho

[@gudalawrence2028]

It's funny how extraordinary rim size appear like regular rim lately. Those 19s look like 17s, noting special about them. The 21s on the ///M40i will be the winner. ✌

@@autogefuehl thanks I will be looking forward to seeing that one. I cannot justify for myself to buy an SUV. worse fuel economy, higher center of gravity and therefore worse handling, not much more space than the combi but much more expensive.

[@lmmo77]

Thanks for the great review, Thomas. What's exactly the problem of the M steering wheel that you mention in the review?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! I found it strange because it is not entirely round, it somehow has a conic upper part

[@lmmo77]

Autogefühl thank you again. By the way, you compare the X3 against the X1 and X4 in terms of interior space and driving feeling, but you never compare it against the Audi Q5 or Mercedes GLC. Is it your own rule that you don’t compare across brands? What would be your favorite among these 3 options?

[@chonaV]

Autogefühl ...Thank you so much for replying. Lease is up next year for my car and I am torn between the Macan and the X3. Yes, I do prefer a comfortable, quiet, luxurious ride, with a touch of sportiness. I’d take your advice and go for the X3, but the Macan looks soooooo nice 😊

Average fuel consumption?

[@richx9035]

The X3 comes better equipped than the X1 and the interior of the X3 is also better and more comfortable that the X1. The X1 would probably serve well in an urban setting, but if you want more of a cruiser then the X3 is a better option.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah indeed

[@9zivota9zivota31]

Is that true that they are cutting down disel engines.

[@Sloba1992]

I like x3 more that q5 and glc, also I would prefer m40i, in usa is around 55-60k, I like size, comfort, performance, practicality, it have enough of everything for my needs, probably will be my next suv I will buy, I would buy with analog instruments, I like simple and functional, also price is reasonable for what you get compared to others, hope real-ability will good because bmw it’s very expensive to maintenance and keep on road in perfect condition

[@joshs3905]

Excellent review I enjoyed watching. Question, my 2021 X3 30i is getting rather poor fuel consumption. I filled the tank this morning and the range was approx 681km, I drove about 12km home and it’s sitting at 654 now. Is this accurate or will it adjust?

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

It does calculate by the most recent fuel consumption, maybe you had a lot of city traffic?

[@joshs3905]

@@autogefuehl that might be the reason, I'm very surprised by how similar the MPG is between the 30i and the M40i, thanks for your reply, and looking forward to watching more of your videos man :)

[@ZetaReticuli_1]

@Thomas I'd like to know your personal opinion about BMW's grill as a car enthusiast.

[@autogefuehl]

Well they re getting bigger and bigger. If you know the heritage, it's fine, if you look at it from scratch, it has become too big :)

[@bird718]

i found the x1 less premium and less spacious. the x2 had to many blind spots, the x3 is about as large as i want to go for my garage. the x5 is to tight and parking would be a daily struggle. the rebates were hard to turn down for the x3.

[@autogefuehl]
