Comparison Review: 2022 BMW X3 M40i vs 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG 4Matic

[@anw9485]

I have a 2020 M40i and a 22 GLC43 w/ the AMG performance exhaust. I've also had a 21 SQ5 and a 2017 Macan S. All great cars except for the SQ5, unless you don't like driving. If you want a driver's car with all the utility the X3 M40i wins.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thanks for the insight! How was the Macan S compared to the X3?

[@anw9485]

@@MGReviewsBlog The Macan S was definitely a great car. I had 2 years between the Macan S and the M40i so I never had a direct/immediate comparison between the two. The 2017 Macan S only had 335HP if I'm not mistaken so was underpowered at the time. I know that Porsche ended up trickling down their engines to the lower trims in recent years. We ended up trading in the Macan S for a 718 Cayman. But from what I can remember, the Macan S drove great and sounded great. It had much less cargo space though because of the fastback design and like all Porsches the "cockpit" is pretty cramped. I also had a 2018 X1 at the time and even that was roomier than the Macan. For the M40i, SQ5 and GLC43, I owned all 3 cars at the same time so have a pretty good day-to-day comparison of them. If I could only pick one, it would be the M40i. Plenty of power, handles great, sounds great, lots of tech and plenty of storage. It's the best all-rounder in my opinion. The only improvement that the M40i or BMW in general could work on is their digital gauge cluster. There's just way more customization with MB and Audi's.

[@andreipretorius92]

@@anw9485 great feedback. We test drove all of those and even the genesis. The Porsche was nice but felt very cramped and loaded with buttons, wasn’t what we were looking for. The Mercedes’ was nice but too pricey and 1st and 2nd gear shifts weren’t the smoothest. The Audi, as you said, was very underwhelming. The bmw just had the balance of performance and luxury while having a reasonable price tag. The bmw ride is slightly harsh but not back breaking. The power is unbeatable, this thing moves and looks good doing it. Very happy with the bmw

[@anw9485]

@@andreipretorius92 Hit the nail on the head there! I've had 2 modern Porsches, all their cabins are very cockpit-like and cramped. I like to refer to the Porsche interior's button layout as "the graphing calculator" because it reminded me of the TI-83 graphing calculators I had in high school, where I didn't understand what half the buttons did! Yes, the GLC43 is very nice and yes pricey, I ordered mine and waited 8-months and actually did without the HUD to keep the cost down. I do miss the HUD though as my M40i does have it. And you're right, the MB 10-spd tends to be a little clunky at low speed. It's hard to get a smooth start off from a complete-stop if you're just trying to drive normal. So again, if I were to only have 1 of these vehicles the M40i wins. It just does everything and does it damn well. It is a bit stiffer but that's a sign of a "driver's car" and having the types of cars that I've had, it doesn't bother me. And that growl/grunt sound the M40i makes on up-shifts when you go full throttle from a full-stop in Sport+ is just so good! I know you know what I'm talking about. lol. The GLC43 makes a nice crackle in that situation and the SQ5 seemed to give you just a tiny bit of noise as a consolation prize for your efforts. All these brands have a different "ethos" when it come to car making and it really shows in how their vehicles drive and perform.

[@KC_Smooth]

I got the ‘21 GLC 43 ~5 months ago and let me tell you, it is an ansolute beast of a vehicle. It looks so muscular in person, and you have so much power and torque at your feet. It feels like a luxurious space ship at night in the interior, and the optional performance exhaust makes the car sound like a lion whenever you want to turn it on. My only complaint is once in a blue moon the transmission gets kinda twitchy in 1st or 2nd gear and hold revs as if you need to accelerate, but after a few days you’ll get used to it and learn how to manage it. Definitely one of the best vehicles I’ve driven.

[@cthis4786]

I agree with you, the transmission is not that great on these amg-lite vehicles. Earlier 7-g tronic was a much smoother transmission, don't even feel any shifting going on

[@KC_Smooth]

@@cthis4786 For sure! For the money I spent, I would've thought they'd put a little more effort into a better transmission for these lower end AMG's. I still enjoy driving it though! It pulls like a MF too 😂😂😂.

[@cthis4786]

@@KC_Smooth A cheap mod for all Mercedes high power engines is to switch to NGK spark plugs and Motul oil, makes the car so much more responsive. For some reason the factory spark plugs are terrible, so bad that people think it's a transmission issue but it's actually a plug issue.

[@KC_Smooth]

@@cthis4786 Wow, thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into it. Thankfully, I haven’t had any jerky rev holdings in a couple of months (I’m only at 1.1k miles). I babied the car during the break in and now things are smooth as butter. If the issue ever comes back I’ll definitely try those spark plugs and oil. Thanks again!

X3 m40i is a drivers car with decent fuel economy, lots of fun too. The Merc is starting to show its age and with current fuel hikes, it makes it unappealing. I'd go for X3 m40i anytime, any day.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

The Mercedes is getting a new generation really soon. Should be officially unveiled later this year. A new generation X3 shouldn't be far behind it.

[@SteveR-sq5et]

My wife and I just finished test driving the 2022 GLC 300, 2022 GLC 43 AMG, and the 2023 BMW X3 back to back in the same afternoon. Our thoughts are similar to this video... we found the Mercedes interior to be far nicer than the BMW, and much more comfortable. The GLC 43 AMG was the right blend of power, comfort, and fun factor *for us*. In addition, right now our local Mercedes dealers have quite a few 2022 GLC 43 AMG's available and are willing to deal on price, whereas BMW is now focused only on 2023 models and is not willing to deal on price. We ended up purchasing a GLC 43 AMG that was almost fully optioned, added the Mercedes winter tire package (rims and rubber) and a few other items, all in including Canadian tax was the same price as a similar BMW X3m40i without tax, tires, or anything else. In other words, the Mercedes was close to $10k less. No brainer for us.

Congratulations on your purchase!

Great review. We tested both and found the glc43 too eager for a daily driver, the first and second gear shifts weren’t very smooth. I feel like the exhaust on the merc is much better. The BMW came out to be $10k cheaper, no brainer then

[@hugolafhugolaf]

For two years I had been researching GLC 43 AMGs and I was dead set on buying one. Your video had been a valuable resource. I then went to try a 2021 one with the sole intent of buying it, it was a foregone conclusion. I really liked the interior and the exhaust. But it was out of town (3 hours away) and there was a 2021 X3 M40i right across the street, so I thought, what the hell... Well, it took two blocks to completely throw out my deadset ideas. I ended up buying it the next day. The X3's responsiveness was night and day and it really is a driver's car. The ZF 8 speed is a marvel in manual mode. The MB's? Not so much. I don't like the iDrive system though...

[@scottjohnson8316]

be VERY careful with the X3 M40i in the leather seats, especially with ventilation...Many people have dumped them off in bad trades due to immense low back pain from the seats. The sensatec improves the seat quite a bit because its softer and has more cushioning.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

@@scottjohnson8316 Mine doesn't have ventilated seats. They are comfy enough so far.

[@JohnUSA7]

I tested both of these models and these two are the best in their class. Choosing which model comes down to personal tastes and preferences. The BMW is sportier and faster, while the MB is slightly more luxurious and I liked their controls better. Price wise the BMW is the much better value. The MB is ridiculously very over-priced. My advice is to test drive both models and then decide which one fits your needs and tastes better......and your pocketbook.

[@andreipretorius92]

I was shocked that the Mercedes’ came with barely nothing and it was pricey compared to the BMW. With the BMW you at least get the bigger touch screen and panoramic sunroof standard

@@andreipretorius92 I agree with this! I was car shopping for a lease on the 22 GLC 43 AMG , and the X3M40I. I had a 21 GLC 43 for a week. The vehicle was expensive with lightly optioned features. The vehicle didn’t have a panoramic nor not even a sunroof, and other features but it did have the amazing AMG steering wheel that I love with the sports/exhaust controls on the wheel. The colorful digital display was a 10 with all its customized features! And the sound was so good , However the price was doing the most! The salesman told me last week that they’re charging 10k OVER MRSP, so that lead me to BMW. I just Purchased a lease on a 23 X3 M40i custom to my likings and it’s sick how it turned out on the website. Got approved for 15k miles per year 36 months term.

Thanks for the video! Super helpful in making a decision. Ultimately, I am going with an M40i; for equivalent spec it's about 5k cheaper. My local MB dealership is also adding 3k in market adjustments for an 8k price difference :( Other silly things are my wife being a BMW girl and not wanting to wait for the GLC300 redesign

[@MGReviewsBlog]

The X3 M40i is still a great car! Even better if it's less expensive!

[@MrSizzle7]

I previously owned a 2016 Porsche Macan S before buying a 2018 BMW x3 m40i. Both vehicles have great acceleration, but the BMW's power does come sooner and seems to be available at all RPM's. The Porsche took longer before the turbo boost and power was available, but it definitely handled better and more fun to drive. In the end, I like both vehicles, but the BMW X3 M40I has just a little more overall usability than the Macan, at least for the 2016 model.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Porsche won't let me review their cars :( I'm not famous enough on KZbin for them haha. But I'd love to try out the Macan and see how it compares against these two.

[@kerplunk38880]

There’s a reason Mercedes is known as the German Taxi and the BMW is the driver’s car.

[@jabelee2030]

Could you compare the Audi SQ5 with these two. that would be great. thanks

[@MGReviewsBlog]

I would love to get my hands on the SQ5 (or any Audi for that matter) but unfortunately Audi does not have any press fleet here in Vancouver. I'll see if I can get my hands on one from a dealership but we'll see how that goes.

[@anw9485]

I currently have a 20 X3 M40i, 22 GLC 43 and previously had a 21 SQ5 and 17 Macan S. The SQ5 is a very nice car. Beautiful seats and comfortable. But it lacks a lot of storage space and is the tamest of all 4 vehicles. if you like driving, you won't like the SQ5. It doesn't sound as good as the other 3 cars and has the least horsepower(except for the 17 Macan S). For example, The SQ5 has the same exact ZF transmission as the M40i but it's way watered down. It always wants to shift early, even in Dynamic/sport mode. The M40i on the other hand, while in Sport+ will hold the shift all the way to near redline. BMW tunes the transmission to be aggressive even though it's the same transmission in the SQ5. The M40i wants to play. The SQ5 wants to go back to sleep. The Audi has fake exhaust tips too, unless you option the sport exhaust. The transmission thing and fake exhaust kinda shows you that Audi doesn't really have driving in mind and that's ok. Just depends what YOU are looking for.

[@jabelee2030]

Thanks for your feedback. I want a car that gets out and moves when needed. But is quiet and smooth on the hwy. any thoughts on one of these that fits these criteria best.

[@anw9485]

@@jabelee2030 Honestly, all 4 of those cars will do that. But in my opinion, the X3 M40i is definitely the best all-arounder. It's got plenty of power on tap. The only car with more torque and just 3 more HP than the BMW is the MB but the BMW still manages a faster 0-60 on paper. Has more passenger space and storage utility than the other 3 cars. Sounds great, drives great and has the best MPG of all 4. It's also the cheapest when similarly spec'd. Also, the fact that only BMW includes the first 3 years of service is a game changer. I believe Audi offered the first service for free. Another thing that bugged me about the SQ5 is that it doesn't give you live tire pressure and temperature readings like the other 3. I believe you need to step up to a RS model to get live tire pressure/temp display.

genuine question. what makes the bmw more sporty if the benz has more hp and torque?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

power figures on paper don't tell the whole story. Car & Driver and Motor Trend both tested these cars and the BMW was the faster of the two. Additionally, it's about how each car performs around corners. The BMW's chassis & suspension tuning feels stiffer than that of the Benz which makes it slightly more responsive to driver inputs.
