INSANE 700hp BMW X3 M is a NAUGHTY Family Car! // Nürburgring

I have an x3m of my own. What is done to it?

[@toptier613]

@@awdLuke It's just Misha mate, blokes an incredible driver. I live in Adelaide, he recently drove on our track and did amazingly in such a short time.

What a beast this is absolutely mental. What mpg do you see normal driving around towns?

[@triedproven9908]

Mega build man👍

@@awdLuke it’s had decat downpipes, scorpion midpipe non res, Eventuri filters, BM3 stage 2 93 map, XHP stage 2 transmission. MSS springs for handling and spacers but I’ve changed to KW coilovers since this lap and upgraded to X5M calipers so a huge difference in braking & handling!

[@marshalkin]

20-30 years ago only supercars could drive like this. It's crazy!

[@RiasGremoryS54]

Even now, a lot of today's supercars get gapped by this

The smile and laughter of the owner tells everything you need to know. He was having a lot of fun!! All the mod money was worth it. That was a fun lap.

[@5ShotProductions]

Besides the fact that I really like this generation of X3 and especially the X3 M, you know what I really liked: The huge smile the owner had in his face after Misha driving the car for 10 seconds in the lap ❤ And this SUV is really fast, holy mother ❤ Thx for the video, all the best, Philipp

[@radimfoucek8765]

It is not the first time Misha drove X3M and this one was even better. I was amazed again how it worked. And the gearbox worked like PDK. Fantastic! 👍

[@phdjharmacist]

watching the E36 get gapped was so satisfying lol

[@brothaman1312]

only because misha didn't point the m3 driver by; ask yourself how the e36 caught up to the x3 BEFORE the yellow in the first place - it was clearly running a faster lap, then got held up by the suv in a section in which it was very quick, then subsequently left behind in high speed section that favored the high horsepower brute

[@billybichel]

I'm the guy the guy in the e36, hi mate👋 No shame in being gapped by a 700hp beast in a 200hp antic with no electronics whatsoever. In the corners I am faster yes, but ok the straight I stand no chance obviously. E36 are not built for straight line performance but for handling;)

Very Cool lap, I traded my M4comp for the X3M Comp just over a year ago, not a single day have I regretted it....

[@KeyBrosUK]

167mph before the lip, it’s definitely 700bhp - weight and terrible aero yet goes like it’s nothing! They drift really nicely in rwd too had one for about a year absolutely loved it.

Misha I've been watching you for years now mate, I've got a dream to drive on the nordschleife; I live in Adelaide, you've driven on the bend and I was very impressed with your driving with such a short time! Hopefully when I visit germany I'll be able to say hey! Never stop racing absolutely love your content.

[@AB.CarVids]

G01 platform is very underrated. Great all around. I went with M40i over the actual M. My family would not be able to handle the stiffness. B58 power plant is awesome

@@SKDYCAThave you driven X3 M40 in comparison ?

@@vollcare4076 I had one as a loaner once while I was getting some warranty work done. It's definitely smoother; but, the handling is lacking compared to the M variant.

[@madrx2]

i LOVE my X3m, 10 Second 1/4 mile with just an ots bm3 flash tune

[@hershil12]

best suv/sav in the market for 50k given the performance and tuneability. have the exact same spec on mhd stage 1. looking to get downpipes soon but the trans xhp tune is what really brings the x3m to light. my shifts are PDK level with how quick it is now.

[@jacobcutrer]

The reason people buy suvs is to carry more stuff in most cases, not necessarily to go off road. At least when I bought mine, I needed more space.

[@antonispetrou4472]

Really?? Wow!!!! The right sound with the right power!!! Amazing!!!

[@nvl2691]

These X3 M handle so good for what they are. They're stupidly stiff though

Yes they are rock hard i couldn't live with it as a daily for this reason.

[@nvl2691]

@@G2020- A friend had one, he traded it in for a then brand new G80 M3 (this was in early april 2021). First thing we noticed was how much more comfortable the M3 was!

[@gregkowalsky8890]

The X3M LCi (after 2021) is not so stiff. You can live whith that as a daily (in comfort mode ofcoz) :-)

[@future62]

Weirdly aftermarket suspension could fix that and make it better at the track.

[@remstesthd6784]

exactly these "sport" SUV make no sense they are too stiff for daily drive and too heavy for real performance track use if buying a X3 better take a 30d or 30i
