I had a 2020 X3M40i and it was great. In February of 2021 a snow plow destroyed my M40i. I ordered a new 2021 X3M Competition. The X3M Competitition is AWESOME and It pulls like a freight train.

[@zeenmuch90]

So you opted for the m40i?

[@SuicideBreezy]

@@zeenmuch90m40 is better for city driving and daily commuting. b58s torque down low makes it more fun around town. x3m is far more suited for the highway and track

[@kathleenfairchild7257]

Nice smooth ride, now I want one! Favorite line, tell me to slow down and I won’t 😂

[@joeeacott9707]

Thanks for being so spirited about both of these. I've had my M40 for about 6 months now and really broke it in well and have so much confidence driving it. Test drove an X3M comp the other week and didn't like it more - it really does take that highly specific buyer to choose the X3M comp over the M40. I wouldnt trade mine for the full M as crazy as it sounds. A stage2 map, high flow cat and running 93 on an M40 makes them very special and concerningly fast cars.

[@VictorPitstop]

Of course! I just have love driving and try to find the great in everything I drive! In regards to the M40i, what you save over a full-blown M is substantially more than enough to modify it more than anyone needs! It’s more of a platform to really work with out of the box than just an insane weapon from the factory! I really love the M40i as it stands but have been seeing a lot of people start to modify them tastefully! Hold onto that beast and love it ever so much!!

got my x3m yesterday.....omg, what a vehicle.....i feel like a rockstar driving it......i also drove a 911 4s and this car is the same speed which says a ton, i drove a 911 turbo s and a bit faster, not worth the 100k bump in price at all......so i wanted a porsche, but expensive, could not be happier with this car, it fills all my needs for comfort and speed, it is crazy fast, i can do a stage 1 tune for 1k and bring it up to 600hp, don't know if ill do it, it so fast as is........treat to get in it everyday, feel privileged to drive and have it....... the ride so many people complain that it is a tough ride, only on the worst choppy roads is it a bit jarring, but it's worth it for the rest of the performance. the ride in the porsche is a bit better, than really balance agility and rough roads really well, but again not worth for me anyway the 3x price and not faster........love it.

[@andreajackson2925]

I went to see the M440i today and although I love the grill the sides made it look like a mustang. Back to the X3 I go.. I have tested the X3 40 need to test the competition. Love your reviews!

[@VictorPitstop]

The X3 M40i is plenty good! It’s an SUV with sports-car tendencies! The M/Competition is A LOT for an every day drive; what I mean by that is that everything is cranked up on the volume. The brakes, the sound, the suspension, the engine and transmission are all super intense! I concur with your M440i issue! It does look kind of Mustangy but some people like that! Again, thanks for your support! It means a lot to me and keeps me motivated to keep doing this!!

[@iPhoneAppReviewer]

I was originally dead set on buying either the m40i or x3m, ended up going with an x5 40i because when loaded they have 7 series levels of luxury and amenities that arent offered on the g01 while keeping all the b58 fun. Running a p800 turbo, 200 cell dp, hpfp on e40, ots bm3 tune for now. Would highly recommend the g05 if you want more of a premium highway destroyer daily than a trackable daily.

[@VictorPitstop]

G05 is great. Took me a while to get used to the floaty dead zone on the steering but a great car nonetheless. They can still rip and it’s very funny when you have a luxury SUV that can absolutely carve when needed. If I had the need for a bigger but not too big SUV, the X5 would be the play!

[@CookiesToAFatChick]

Great video! Touched on all the details. I opted for the m40i bc the suspension on the X3M was too harsh for a daily

[@VictorPitstop]

The M40i is plenty enough for daily use! Thanks for the support!

[@themuslimmountainbiker]

Same here! Had my X3 M40i 2 years and love it. Lighter than the X3M and more practical with kids imo. The X3M is a proper full on performance car but not practical for daily use with the harsher ride in my view. It makes sense to have both of these great cars available as options!

Great video, fun and informative. I am considering a new daily driver, X3 M40 and X5M50. I think for the money, the M40 with a tune, resonator delete and Michelin A/S 4S tires would be hard to beat. I have a C7 Z06 for my summer fun car, so not really needing a full M vehicle. Thanks for the video.

[@VictorPitstop]

An X5 M50 would make a better daily but for the $$$, the M40i is the way to go if you have the mod bug and can’t keep anything stock! I bet that ZO6 Rips!! I’ve driven one with an upgraded pulley and it was ungodly fast.

[@zeenmuch90]

I have pondered this question. I have two kids, I have the desire for something just like this. Transitioning from the X3 M, into the m40i on BMW day I really didn't think the extra entry cost of the M was worth it VS the m40i. Just to throw another curveball, if you can get away with medium car sized dad life, the X2 m35i is a hoot for heavy nose cars. That car felt rowdy to me even after driving an X3MC, and an M40i.

[@VictorPitstop]

Playfulness is always a great attribute to a car and the M35i is in that category. The new X1 M performance variant looks super awesome too!

[@moisestroche9762]

I really enjoyed this review. I own a 2019 X3 M40i, Black on Black, identical to the one on your review. It’s my daily driver, though it is not driven as spirited as the one on this review, nice to see its potential :)… I’ve been thinking about replacing it with a 2022 X3M but after seeing this review I think I’ll keep the one I have. Thanks for sharing the video and your comments on these vehicles.

[@VictorPitstop]

I appreciate you!! Yes, the M40i is a tuning hot bed so I’d stay with it as it’s more than enough for a daily driver! The X3 M is amazing and ridiculous fast but your overall costs go up a little more. Thank you for the support!!

[@Highlander1432]

How has maintenance costs been on the M40i ?

[@NFiltr8Red]

I was stuck between M40i and X3 M. I ended up between $43k for M40i and $49k M, both had 19k Miles. At the end of the day I took the M. 😊. There was an X3M Comp but that thing was so so damn stiff. Gave me a headache!

[@VictorPitstop]

They aren’t the most comfy lol

[@peterchao610]

Nice Video! Seems like x3m has less body roll than x3m40i, but does this particular x3m40i have the m sport differential (2T4) option upgrade or not? And would the 2T4 option help with minimizing body roll when cornering or aggressive lane change?

[@VictorPitstop]

Thanks! X3M does indeed have a much flatter cornering characteristic; the bushings, stronger rebound stiffness and thicker sway bars help that. That M40i did not have the sport differential. The sport differential will help with rotation but not the body roll. If you get an M40i, thicker sway bars will help flatten the cornering roll! How this helps!

[@peterchao610]

@@VictorPitstop Thanks for the quick reply and advice! I have chosen the 2023 x3m40i to be my ultimate dad mobile upgrade where the kiddo and grandpa are not gonna complain about the harsh ride of my current Golf R.

[@VictorPitstop]

@@peterchao610 it’ll be a much more compliant ride than the R however if you wanted a little more tightness to the rotation, sway bars are it!

@@VictorPitstop Is the oem " thicker sway bars" of x3m fully compatible for the x3m40i like a "plug & play" scenario? And must I change the bushing too if I upgrade the sway bars, because I don't want the suspension to be as stiff as the x3m?

[@VictorPitstop]

I appreciate that and hope you enjoy your new ride as much as I enjoy them! Just no speeding on the street, ever! (😜) In regards to your concern: I have been working on getting access to the local track here in Austin hence my very low volume of videos. Auto cross is definitely not the way to do these reviews; a track is. I am trying to convey the driving experience vicariously instead of just talking about the design language of a car and it’s ‘quirks and features’. I am also not a big fan of the local AutoX as it is an arduous process to wait around in the Texas heat for 4-6 hours just to run for a total of 4-5 minutes of total driving time. I will absolutely eventually take it to the track however people don’t realize it’s not a simple task. I’ll be brief as possible but the cost is expensive ($3k initial buy-in and $300/month for said track). KZbinrs need to start somewhere; just think of the all of the famous youtubers that are actually driving aggressively but you don’t see them doing it considering the camera is facing them. Obviously I am very, very far away from that caliber of KZbinr and may never get there but until then, I will continue to pour my heart into this and do what I love more than anything: driving. Again, I promise I will produce these videos every time on the track when I get there, it’s just hard to spend a lot money on a hobby like this! I really do appreciate the input and again, enjoy your new car!! -VP-

Very true; the rear-wheel biased setup is better for a little more rotation for the drivers that can handle it. I enjoyed Quattro and overall it’s a good predictive system compared to the reactive system of xDrive. I personally prefer xDrive as someone who hoons a bit more.

The X3M is a real M though - they feel like different cars to drive and the LCI has greatly softened the ride in the X3M removing that as an issue. For me though, they nailed the suspension. The engine is completely different too - lazy drive with torque everywhere = M40i, high revving fun engine that wants to be revved all the way out = X3M. Want to tune effortlessly to 640hp = X3M. Want epic stopping power with the brakes from the M760Li = X3M.

Dude, go to a race track for your testing. It's insanely irresponsible to drive like this on public roads. I really hope you'll never end up hurting yourself and others.

[@VictorPitstop]

You are 100% correct. Yes, currently working on a track membership at a local track; it’s very expensive ($3,000 initial fee and $300/month after that) but absolutely worth it once I get there to your points. Out of all respect and hopefully you do not take this sarcastically, I’d like to not be like the myriad of other KZbinrs you see out there doing the same thing. This channel is newer with the formatting and sparse with content as you may be able to tell because I hate that I have to go 7/10ths-8/10ths on the street instead of 9/10ths-11/10ths on the track. Once I get the track membership, I’ll be able to actually create the consistent content I have always wanted to. So, to your points again, you are right however it’s not so simple logistically, financially and accessible as most would like to think. Again, really not trying to convey sarcasm as it’s hard to read someone else’s diction but I do have a Patreon I prematurely started just for the track access which I hope to one day reinvest in what I really want to bring my viewership. - VP -

[@Paxtiny]

@@VictorPitstop no worries, my man. I enjoyed the clip and Im as much of a petrol head as the next guy. Thanks for taking the time to elaborate. In the meantime and until you get your track membership sorted I recommend blurring the speedo when you are on public roads ;)

[@VictorPitstop]

@@Paxtiny absolutely! I appreciate you and can’t wait to bring solid track based content! Thanks again!

[@Waitsowereaspowerfulasthem]

While I agree to an extent this is what the cars are for. You can see he has great control and was being considerate when nearby traffic was spotted. Where I agree is how easy he is making it seem for inexperienced drivers who Are putting others in danger. I assure you Increase of speed and sharp turning and breaking is nothing that you won’t see while out on the road. Simply to your opinions respect, do not click on a video expected to have sporty driving showcased on public roads. The difference between him and others is he documents it and posts it for others enjoyment. But I also agree that I’d love to see some track videos AMONG street videos. I’d like to see his skills on the track if he’s that great of a driver on the street. 🙌 But don’t mandate the dudes content just because you’re not confident in his ability to keep those around him safe. If carmakers felt that ways you wouldn’t be sitting here watching a video on a car that puts out 400-500 horsepower.

First time on KZbin?

The woman in the back is absolutely beautiful

[@Corvetjoe1]

Over priced new but great used.

[@kevinfoster1243]

Beautiful cars yes.... but driving like this on public roads is ridiculous. I pray you dont take someones life. You will not stand a chance if someone runs out in front of you.

[@VictorPitstop]

I appreciate the comment and totally understand that it’s a definite risk; I don’t produce much content at all because of this very reason. It’s harder to give driving impressions when you’re a very small channel with your conscious worried about police or worse, pedestrians and problems on the road a like. That all being said, I JUST shelled out A LOT of money to gain a track membership so I can actually make content more frequently due to the fact I never liked recording myself driving like this on the road. *I will be making all my content hence forth on the race track only where it’s legal* Appreciate your viewership, thank you for watching!

[@apthashooter860]

Audi doesn’t have the best awd system. That would be Acura. They’ve had a true torque vectoring rear differential before Audi Bmw and Mercedes. Those only offered such a differential Kn there race products and that did t start till the late 2000s. They all used the abs to help rotate the vehicle. And Subaru is good because of its racing heritage it it’s still last on the list. And BMW is the best right now because they do t under steer much and the Audis do.

[@VictorPitstop]

Confused; so Acura does have the best AWD system or BMW?

[@katriel2005]

Why is the girl in the back with both guys hmmm

[@kalispimenta7]

SPORTING!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

[@peter7468]

What a dangerous driving… risking your friends life for a videoreview?! 😢

[@VictorPitstop]

This video was almost 3 years ago. Also, a lot of your favorite KZbinrs drive like this on public roads all the time.

[@thatv10]

Personally i don't see a reason to buy a bmw if you're not buying a m car 🤷

[@VictorPitstop]

A very M snob thing of you to say indeed. So let me ask you, if you’re looking for a good compromise performance SUV, what would you buy? Your budget is around $60-$70k USD.

[@thatv10]

@VictorPittstop for $60-70k, i would go with a lexus. High-quality interior with toyota reliability. I buy bmw m's for their handling/performance otherwise your just overpaying for no reason, but I guess that's just me

[@VictorPitstop]

@@thatv10 I get where you’re coming from. I personally would hate the numb steering and old engine of a Lexus depending on what it is but everyone has their flavors. Might I ask if you’ve driven a semi-performance BMW before?

[@thatv10]

Ya, my first m car was a 2001 e46 m3, then sold that for 16' f87 m2 along with my 09 e60 m5. But now i just have the m5 and looking for a x3m to replace the m2

[@VictorPitstop]

@@thatv10 Makes even more sense. You’ve been spoiled with greatness! You’ll be very happy with the X3M. I think 2022+ got a little suspension adjustment to make it more suitable for bad roads. I hear the roads in FL are actually nice though so it may not apply to you.

[@alan_is_insane2343]

Yes! Risking the lives of three people plus many more driving like an A hole on public streets. One mistake, hit some gravel and you have destroyed a family. Why not do a track day? $250 bucks and you don’t risk the lives of anyone.

[@VictorPitstop]

Hi, it’s me, the “A-Hole”. I can absolutely play the Uno Reverse card right now and rip into you but I don’t have any energy to do so since this was filmed almost 3 years ago. I have since taken my reviews to the track. Here’s a video for people like you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jcd6Wwrpl8hKcsi=Ha4RjuWEXo14q8fY

[@alan_is_insane2343]

That’s great to hear that you’re now doing track reviews. Obviously you’re an experienced driver and give a solid performance review, but accidents do happen. I’ve been racing karts/cars (spec Miata’s) for years and even the most experienced drivers make mistakes. When you make a mistake on the street you are endangering more people than yourself. What if you lost control and ran into one of those houses? Or a kid runs into the street? Or you hit a poll and kill everyone in the car besides you?Not sure why you need 3 people in the car with you. Getting on the track for a track day is a pretty easy here in MA and only costs around $500 including insurance.

[@VictorPitstop]

@@alan_is_insane2343 right, again, refer to that video I posted. It literally highlights all of your points and reaffirms your points. No need to continue since I agree with you. You’re young and don’t understand the logistics and cost that goes into making a car channel. You also don’t understand no one is getting paid to do this. The people in the car are friends and we are still very good friends. In fact, the couple are literally my neighbors now. All is good, all is on the track now. I hope you can enjoy my more recent videos.

[@alan_is_insane2343]

Watched and loved it man. Watched your X3M track video and really liked it. Great job dude.

[@VictorPitstop]

@@alan_is_insane2343 thank you! I appreciate you and my lesson has been learned before catastrophe struck!!

[@AveGuy1]

Hot girls don't care when guys try to impress each other. She faking the smile to hide her boredom with you, but you definitely think you're cool.

[@VictorPitstop]

It’s been over a few years since I published this… You are talking about my friend’s wife all wrong and it’s disrespectful. Also, I don’t think I’m cool, I definitely am cool. Please never come back to this channel AveGuy1.
