I've had my G01 LCI M40i for a little over a year now. I love it. No major complaints. The B58 is perfect for it. Handles fine. Suspension is decent, unlike the M's which are brutal. No complaints about the interior or exterior styling. I love the exterior styling. The interior is fine. My only complaint comes from the seats. My back doesn't like them. I have the heated and cooled seats. Wish the massaging seats from the M550 were offered. I got spoiled by those and I want them back. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the vehicle. I could do without the "mild hybrid" 48V BS and the resulting Auto start/stop, but otherwise, all good.

[@born1in1a1sauna]

People seems to be 50/50 on this. I think the new curved screen looks horrible, but some friends like it. The issue is that for many people its so bad that they will just not upgrade and BMW will loose sales om it aswell due to their exterior design. Which in turn might get Germany into a recession. Mercedes, BMW could easily make great designs that would sell like crazy but insteas they are having some screen-fetisch at the moment. German buttons are better than Chinese. Germans screens wont be. BMW should have two options. One more traditional setup and one more high tech.

[@Rekeza]

as an owner, I cannot recommend one of these enough

[@robertw.1499]

I've been driving this exact same car, same colour, same hybrid version since October 2021. So, here's my take on it. Brilliant!!! I even have the real M-Sports seats (not these standard seats shown here), which are a delight, both optically and from a comfort aspect. The engine, in Sport Mode, with that extra battery power to boost acceleration, is really amazing. Top speed? Well, I live in Germany so am often on the Autobahn. 200kph is no problem and the car sits like it's stuck to the road. Handling is good, interior is pleasing and very functional, I agree that the front is not the most attractive car on the road. Negatives? The battery range is crap. However.... The displayed battery range depends on how you have driven the car before depleting the battery. If you were pedal to the metal all the time, the range after the next charge will be crap. If you were driving conservatively, accelerating slowly and using the cruise control, you will get a displayed range of over 40 km. What you won't ever get is the advertised 55 kms. My last car was the 2 litre X3 diesel. The car before that was the 3,5 litre 4 Series Grand Coupé. I do have some small complaints, but on the whole am very happy. Oh yeh, I test drove the Mercedes GLC 300e Plug in Hybrid. Full battery, in October, 19 degrees C ambient temperature. Range, 19 kilometers. Yes, Mercedes bullshits too!!!

[@SimonDrysdale-j2l]

I came from a 981 Cayman S that I had driven daily for 10 years to an X3 M40i. I'm so impressed with the car, it's the perfect blend of practicality, comfort, and performance when you need it. Sure it doesn't quite have the poise and fun handling of the Cayman, but it's so much easier to live with in a 1 car garage. I was worried about reviewers saying the ride was harsh, to me on terrible Scottish road surfaces it's really comfortable without being wafty, really quiet on the interior too. Love that this model has proper buttons rather than touchscreen everything. Only thing I really miss is the Burmeister Stereo from the Porsche, the Harman Kardon isn't even close to that (although that was a £3k option so can't expect it to be. I cross shopped with a Macan S / GTS, and the BMW was £20-30k cheaper with similar options, a no brainer.

[@manofsesame3024]

If I have a bigger wallet I would choose a Cayenne S over the X5 M40i. But if my budget only enough for a Macan I would go for the X3 M40i, or the Q5, Acura RDX for more saving

[@albertassely6230]

The hybrid version is nice but regardless of the ICE version you compare it with, you will lose comfort and agility due to the additional weight. Additionally you only feel the power/acceleration of the hybrid when in sport mode, when in comfort acceleration is very slow because it always starts in electric only mode

My lease is up next year and I'm most likely going to keep the car forever and get something like a used 2017 x5 for my off roading needs.

I must be one of the luck few, because I just took delivery of my X3 M40i last month, and it's the most comfy car I've ever owned when driving in Comfort mode and on the 19" wheels. I was pleasantly surprised since most of the review videos I've seen said that the drive in these was jarring at best. Maybe it's a brand new car with a new suspension. But this car is more comfortable than my BMW 5 Series sedan and even my V6 Toyota from before.

Drive a real X3M. Those have a brutal suspension. The M40i isn't bad at all. I definitely don't think its better than a 5 though ( I have the 20's without runflats). Coming from an M550 with the adaptive suspension and 4WS, that rode way better (also 20's without runflats).

Wish I could afford the m40 perfect between daily and power

[@akmalnajmi6679]

which gen 5 series though?

[@MikeL-FL]

@@akmalnajmi6679 Good question. I had an E39 LCI 540i M-Sport and G30 LCI M550, both on regular tires. He could be comparing it to an M5 on runflats.

Hey Mat and Carwow! Can you please do a review of the Mazda CX 60? Pretty please with cherry on top 🎉

[@patbrick4632]

My fiance just bought one. We love it!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

This X3 is nice looking.

[@matthewjackson9274]

when are you reviewing the 2024 Maserati GranTurismo??

[@st1028tezaku]

Was expecting him to review the x3 m40i tbh , its the best at the moment

[@joep4224]

I had an iX3 for 10 days, and have to say by the end of it i loved it. The range wasn't mindblowing, but if you could charge it at home it'd be fine.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great review Mat!😸

[@syedarslanhaider310]
