I recently picked up my new daily driver, a BMW X3 M40i. Huge thanks to BMW Swindon for finding the car for me and putting together a great deal. The X3 wasn't the only thing I picked up recently though as I also got a puppy! In this video you get to meet Twiggy, my Jack Russell Terrier.

Your number plate YC69ELO spells the word Yellow in case you did not notice Sam i think i prefer it to your OO10STG number plate great choice of car Sam i think your OO10STG number plate will look good on this car as well, Will your Private plate be on your new Daily driver BMW X3 M40i by the next video? or is there another car coming to the channel that will get the STG plate instead?

I'm pretty sure you legally obliged to secure your dog safely in the car. Might want to look into that :) Awesome daily BTW

I would very much like to hear about your experience with the X3 M40i as it might be my next whip in a few years too.

[@seenthroughglass]

Noted! More content coming then

[@gt1r]

Haven driven both, I much prefer the X3 M40i over the X3 M. M40i is incredibly tame when you’re just running errands, but if you put it in sport it makes all the right sounds, is reasonably quick, etc etc

[@markopolic9964]

BMW's stability and traction control is next level, driven all new Xs and Ive tried to beat it, in half meter high snow and at 60ish kmh, nope there is just no way, those cars find traction where you don't expect em to( ofc until you turn dsc off, then you can slide all day long). Very comfy and safe cars, full of useful daily features/ gimmicks, you wont be disappointed.

[@samuelsantiagoramirez1058]

I wouldn’t unsubscribe if you get a 997, actually, you would stand out so much between every other car youtuber.

I love these types of videos so much where you show 'realistic' cars which offer comfort and sportiness with an affordable price tag! Keep up the videos Sam!

[@seenthroughglass]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching

I'm usually more of an Audi fan but I do like the new X3, not the 4 Series though

She's adorable Sam. Hopefully many eventful & happy years for the 3 of you. Also the car makes perfect sense in your situation.

[@bamaboy2711]

Clicked for the puppy, stayed for the X3. Never thought I'd say any of those 2 things on a car KZbin Channel. Congrats on the purchase Sam!

[@ingvartorma9789]

SAM !! Be sure to get a dog cage for the dog to have at the back, to protect her. Having the dog in the front seat is wrong and she is unprotected. Although she may be pinned, she may not be protected by broken glass and the airbag. Considering that 95% of all traffic accidents that occur in the world, it is the front that you collide with the most.

[@tunes4life]

Loving your new outlook on life,as a 'family' man,with a softer daily and a twiggy pup... makes you stand out from other youtubers,and your different approach to cars and life in general,and you just being you,is what i've always loved and appreciated,so please,keep doing what you're doing,by all means...

[@Aezetyr]

I also daily a 2019 X3 M40i here in the 'States, and I love the car. I've had it for over a year at this point. You mentioned a lot of what I like about it as well; the comfort, infotainment system, the harman-kardon audio and so on. I'd add that it's sneaky quick too and handles well (given the tires that I'll mention) in the various sport modes. I have the 19' wheels opposed to the 20' or the 21's. The wheels don't really matter all that much (except the wheels you have are a LOT more attractive), it's the tires that I don't really care for. I'd rather have some good performance all-weather without the run flat. I live in the New England area, so winter is about half the year.

[@leeku7768]

lol should’ve got a touring just to rub it in your face and knowing you can’t/won’t ever get it in the states.

[@toprangegamer1239]

It’s a lovely car with power and luxury , I would love to see more of it , congratulations

[@Neelkash]

Excellent choice mate! Have an X3 as well, amazing tuning capabilities. I’m looking forward to see what you get up to with it. 😍

Congrats!! Love both of these beautiful beasts!

[@jajarvis1980]

X3 is a great car. I've had about 5 of the 30d models over the years as daily cars and loved them all. That engine is sweet too, great package

[@camiel221]

This is awesome. 6 months ago we lost our jack russel, awesome to see a new one growing up! They are amazing dogs and so clever, and easy to handle. The perfect camera companion.

[@stephenstrussvideo]

I daily a X5 M-Sport -- perfect daily. Big enough trunk for moving stuff, comfy for moving people and fast enough to keep me entertained without getting arrested. Good choice!

[@freddygard2543]

You know you’re doing life right when an X3 M340i is a boring daily! A living with and long term review of this practical car that people can identify with more easily than something like a Ferrari sounds like a great idea, congrats on the puppy!!

[@justinjohnson1766]

Great job homie keep up the good driving and your dog is really cool also.

[@lifethroughoptics]

I'm honestly happy to see that you're happy. Twiggy is so cute and the car is solid. And it's great that you haven't let the KZbin life dictate what you want out of a daily. The "10,000 miles in my daily" and "I just wrapped my daily" videos have been done to death as you said. Spot on. Enjoy the dog life and some comfortable cruising 🙂

[@EJLMC]

Nice one! Definitely want more videos on it. Love the ‘real life’ car stuff.

[@burrogrande]

Very lovely! Congrats on the daily and the puppy🔥

[@dylanh1978]

This new model of X3 looks really really good, interior is fantastic and what a great engine and transmission. Great choice Sam, spec is perfect too. Lovely pup too.

[@ptr1019]

Love it Sam, twiggy looks like a barrel of laughs! And as I approach my 30th later this year, i'm seeing the appeal of a comfortable car.

[@bradzafris1690]

Wife and I have the exact same for our family daily. Comfortable efficient, as well as fun in the corners. The sport mode exhaust cracks on up shifts are silly and fun when a little hoon is needed.

[@ChasingGiants23]

LOVE IT DUDE. I'm a newly found BMW fanboy. That and the 850i look fantastic!. Plenty of ponies with the X3. Great car dude. Love to see vids of you rolling in that

[@matthewday9898]

I'm personally excited you brought this and really want some more videos on it!!! And who dosent love a puppy

[@vilas4265]

I can relate. After owning a string of sports cars including a Porsche and Lotus, I got a GSD puppy and needed something more practical for daily duties / trips to France, etc. Settled on the X3M40i as I needed one car that did it all without costing the Earth to run. Mine’s debadged to make it even more of a sleeper. It’s a great all rounder, a nice place to be for road trips and makes overtaking a breeze. And as others have said, well done on making a video we can all relate to 👏🏽

[@SWatchik]

MORE TWIGGY. Makes perfect sense like you said to have a really normal/boring car when you're driving the crazy stuff as often as you are.

[@petrolandleather]

This is exactly why I have the Touareg and the 991. The Touareg is perfect for cruising around Seattle doing errands or comfy road trips.

[@thomasmiller3115]

Love that you got a BMW X3 M40i. I think it is the sweet spot in the lineup. A little Stage I tune on it is really amazing. Please don't hesitate to do more episodes on the X3 M40i! It is short on my list of cars I want.

[@Ronburgundy75]

I got one of these when they first came out, and came from an X5 M50d. I didn’t have any regrets, as the M40i is awesome!

[@nishantsaloki8490]

I get your point exactly... And congrats for your purchase.. And pupper is cute

[@alexharmon5598]

Congrats on both bro!!

[@MrQiahov84]

Congrats Sam on the new puppy and the new car! Actually love the car, please do film some more content with it!

[@andrewparker5800]

Making out that being 30-years-old is approaching middle age is a great way of alienating your older viewers Sam. Good work.

[@alexhundegger]

Great to see a somewhat ‘normal’ Daily! I’m looking into my first car, and would love a 911, but with 50 miles each way to/from work, I need something to cruise in on a daily - hence why I’m looking at a 530D Touring! Enjoy the X3 and keep up the good work with you videos! ✌🏼

[@koomchan]

Not sure what I love more. The puppy or your new daily! Awesome content as usual Sam!

[@TheBg604]

Great video Sam, new car and new puppy. Congrats.

[@junkfoodeater]

Great daily. I just got a m135i and the comfort and new infotainment is great and the free service, assistance, wifi etc doesn't hurt either.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Great choice on the car and dog. I bought a X3 M40i in January and love it.

[@adp007able]

Twiggy is gorgeous, after having had 3 terriers , a Welsh Terrier and 2 Airedale’ Terriers, I can tell you that life will not be dull! Terriers are full of cheeky naughtiness, and character!

good choice tbh, i drove the previous alpina XD3 it was a little monster, the new inline six petrols got the torque, and the power to go with it, not a bad choice if you ask me, i would go for a cupra ateca with a tune and an AWD tune (HCC) that makes it more AWD than FWD and call it a day, but both are amazing all around cars

[@IamJackPot]
