1st Drive BMW M3 xDrive 0-60 3.1 seconds! Game Changer | 4k

[@JoeAchilles1]

Hope you enjoyed this one guys, I can't believe this M3 xDrive's ability! Thanks for watching as always, see you at the next video very soon 👊🏼

[@teedoylargio9295]

Joe, are you sticking with your RWD or moving across to AWD? The RWD is still very accomplished and in most real world situations is still probably more than capable. Is it so good you would change?

[@m3awd598]

Awesome review and very credible because you own the RWD version! I love that Joe's reviews provide the right input for the enthusiast who enjoys spirited driving. Great work! 👍

[@usherspike]

Joe is on fire🔥🔥, his driving skill is good as well💯👌🏾

Great review confirming my expectations of the xDrive version. Can’t wait to pick mine up in a couple of months :)

These BMW dashboards might be simple compared to the Audi's and especially the Mercedes, but I like it quite a lot. Makes me really feel to be in a cockpit

[@m.x.refrigxolani8365]

The Audi and Mercedes makes you spend 24 hours a day just looking for an airconditioner button. So BMW is user-friendly, I like it that way.

[@lw2537]

Definitely agree. The material quality of the BMW is also next level after comparing it by myself.

What the camera doesn't show is how steep & angled that corkscrew section is. I think it must be a 40ft elevation change from the steepest side into the dip, with an equally steep climb out the other side. It's absolutely one of my favourite Biking Roads.

[@m3awd598]

Great review! I'm so blessed to have one in my garage! Head rush is the word I was looking for when launching this car ;)

[@reggyvoorn7541]

Crazy so now the RWD is unneccesary when the AWD or Xdrive system of the M3 can provide a better driving experience... When it comes to weight the average daily driver doesn't notice that. It's a better M3 with an MXdrive system 🤷🏽‍♂️ why don't they just give us the long waiting M3 touring with MX drive system 💥💥💥

[@berkearall8563]

Actually the steering feel and the acceleration figures of the xdrive M3 is told to be less exciting compared to the rwd version plus you are not able to use the rwd with dsc on i believe as you can on the RWD version.

[@js002003]

couldn't have said it better myself. The xdrive with the ability to turn off the awd is the best of both worlds. They did a great job with the xdrive system making it feel rwd as well (ie no audi quartto feel).

[@js002003]

@@berkearall8563 respectfully disagree. The acceleration in the awd is def more brutal and faster. Steering feel is basically the same as well. Good point on the RWD only in dsc tho but with the xdrive you can do awd sport plus mode that lets you have some play in the back and you do have the 10 stage traction control with dsc off for more shenanigans. Think the average to really good drivers would have more fun with the xdrive and you would only notice the only RWD car when you are fishtailing when you don't want to or when in a ditch.

[@berkearall8563]

@@js002003 i agree with you on the daily drivers, for the purists like me 😄 i went for the rwd m4 and m3 i own both g80-82 and also driven my friend’s xdrive m4 dozen times it is not for me though. If i’d like to drive an awd car i’d go for the m5, M8 or even RS line-up:)

[@js002003]

​@@berkearall8563 Agreed that if you're tracking your car, you might have more fun in the RWD g8x... To me though, if you're a purist and love to track you car, I wouldn't be in any g8x - plenty of better pure sports cars for the money like M2 cs or gt4.....And with the ability to turn off the awd, I honestly dont see a need for the rwd comp (non manual) version (maybe bc the rwd has a bit more nannies than the xdrive has when its in 2wd mode?).... final thought: the way they configured the g8x (big hp/big body/heavy car) I think xdrive with 2wd option is the way to go. gives you all the benefits of the rwd version but lets you better utilize the power than the rwd version... Either way tho, the g8x is a great car in any configuration and much better than my old f80 cs in basically every single way. Edit: Just realized you probably have the manual version in which case I completely understand getting the RWD version. (I completely forgot you can't get the manual in xdrive!)

Great video Joe. Thank you 🙏🏻. Loved the way you introduced this M3 xDrive and driving experience. Looking forward to more content with it. I was considering getting one and your review helped me decide to do it. They are not easy to get, very scarce. 3.1sec 0-60 is supercar fast!!! Incredible. M team definitely made this one special and probably the last M3 without an electric engine

You should’ve waited Joe. I requested M xDrive for all M models years 🗓 ago. It’s nice to see it finally arrive! Unfortunately I feel the new 3 and 4 Series platform is physically too large and has become way more expensive. It is now in older 5 Series territory, bigger is not always better.
