Does the 2020 BMW X3 M Competition have M3 performance in an SUV?

[@JcksnACC]

I love how much you post. I also love how you review more everyday vehicles unlike others that review like $500,000 cars. That's why you're the best!!

[@RaitisRides]

I really appreciate that! It means a lot!

[@claudioagmfilho]

The problem with this engine is that the connecting rods are not forged and they come from the f90 M5 and they are not all that strong... so to me the isn’t forged connecting rods are a weak point in an engine like this...

The BMW's X3 looks to be the size of the early year X5's. They really got larger yet not over sized like many SUV's.

Incredible sleeper for the ones who don't know what M means. Those instruments are a very clean design. Much better than the new 3 series and 850I. As Matt from "Car Wow," says, well done BMW.

[@marksperos8278]

Lower rear truck height possible! - if you order the free optional tire inflator kit, it deletes the spare tire and that 2" rise in the floor. Also, if you order the "M style" seatbelts, the black belts have one side that are edged with the three "M" colors in a nice, refined way.

[@RaitisRides]

Another awesome review as usual Joe! Always a pleasure watching your vids!

[@bill7481]

You must really like this SUV, Joe. You didn't give it the first zonk until minute 13. Lol. It is really nice indeed. I love the design of the gauge cluster; I am not a fan of the gauge cluster BMW has been using on the 3 series. Nice review, Joe! Thanks!

Where's the online order form for this? The X5 M was one of my dream vehicles when it first came out. This is perfection, almost. It costs a lot, and there's still the reliability, maintenance, and parts cost and insurance factor, and fuel, but in a perfect world, this could be my dream ride. But no auxiliary audio input jack if none, rear USB inputs, keyfob M logo, plastic paddle shifters is a zonk. And tan leather is nice, but I would prefer grey, browns are not my color. And no seat pockets... Seriously, it has a CD player, wireless charging, etc. For the price, those other things mentioned should be included, but it's easy to get a dual USB 12volt adapter for the back. Looks, sound, comfort, performance, braking and handling is almost perfect, and fast... considering costs for other high performance vehicles, this is reasonable for what it is, has, and does.
