NEW 2022 BMW X3M Competition LCI Getting Modifications! *Canyon Driving*

[@ashmostro]

Great vid and awesome car. I almost got one but found the M5 in the spec of my dreams and went with that instead. As for this car and the fitment, the rear looks a teeny bit (maybe just 10-15mm) too low compared to the front. A little too much Subie squat for me. Just a thought.

[@Shift4g]

Agreed. I like a hair of rake, that levels out with passengers. It's about 6 bags of mulch to low lol

[@talkingmods]

Appreciate the Feedback Ash :) The spacers I think as I mentioned was really factoring in a full load, literally had a X5M competition today come on - that we had to change things up a bit cause of that extra 3mm, during a full load(all occupants and luggage) had just a tiny rub.

[@zachpoffenbarger4188]

the fact that it’s faster than the model y is kinda mind blowing

[@talkingmods]

Seriously crazy ! Thx for watching

[@lons5472]

All w/o any tune's yet and Bolt-on's and no E85 mix.

[@joshuaenyart5570]

So did you guys leave it fully lowered or adjusted higher?

[@Warrengraff-ym2yj]

Such a sick car🎉

[@amper8372]

Tires size stock or 265/295 ?

[@claudioagmfilho]

I am from Recife in Brazil South America, and I Also own a 2020 X3MC as well, finding this new one a lot better 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, I don’t like these wheels tho, they are the same As the ones that are on mine, I prefer the otherwheel Option that BMW has available now for the new X3M or X4M Competition... seems like it’s of a lighter weight...

[@talkingmods]

I always like to switch to nicer aftermarket wheels :) Thx Claudio for watching!

[@k.c.6846]

When you pay for and drive a German beast of any M package, you should keep it stock all the way around. ✌️

[@turboernie001]

​@@k.c.6846😂Good afternoon @k.c.6846. After looking at all of the "M Cars" on KZbin and seeing that outside of maybe a handful by and large majority of them that are being shown (outside of the reviews of the vehicle when it's current state is stock for the purpose of reviewing it as exactly that be it stock) are modded or getting ready to be etc. I have been on here as much as possible in the past few months trying to get a solid 360 of people's opinions of BMW and more specific the X3M COMPETITION. I'm in the market for a new vehicle and like the idea of how this particular model performs and it seems to be a low chance of running into too many in the wild. I like having vehicles that not many people have for 1 reason or another. Currently drive a 2022 Alfa Romeo stelvio quadrifoglio in Montreal green for this reason (great vehicle btw).

[@jaycampbell333]

That car looks very familiar. Heard it thru the grapevine it's now rolling with RG-Sport/ER mid-pipe, RaceChip Black GTS and iSweep brake pads front and rear. Launches like a bat out of hell (sub 3 Zero to 60). Sounds like a Ferrari at WOT. #MightJustBeARumor

[@talkingmods]

Oh man , I think we are going to need to get that car back for some additional modifications (although I do think in my impressions I also hoped there would be some sway bars for that beast :))

[@yesitsme8943]

I wonder if these coilovers are also a good for the X3 M40i

[@talkingmods]

If you're interested let me know your email and I can have one of my guys look into it for you!

[@Built2Fast]

I’m waiting to see when American Tuners will be able to actually touch the ECU for the 2022 and up models.

[@jonperry7421]

Looks great! What height did you set the front and rear height at?

[@xiingli]

Any thoughts on comfort of the springs compared to stock?

[@talkingmods]

Yeah the springs were actually way more comfortable then stock, they really work well with the stock shocks, thats what MSS seems to do perfectly get the most out of the stock shocks of the vehicle

[@danraj23ful]

How is the ride quality over rough roads, these like no suspension travel to absorb, does it still ride good?

[@talkingmods]

Actually it rode great , I drove it pretty hard with the travel being great, the stock shocks could still absorb, could they be better sure, but these were great. If one was to stay with the stock shock, I'd probably run them for about 50K miles and then look for a beefier shock that would be even absorb more. My one feedback was that it could really benefit from some beefier sway bars and arms, to mellow out the float, that suv's generally have. Again appreciate you watchin!

[@dijla7771]

Hi, are those wheels M718?

[@claudioagmfilho]

🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻, It need a stage 2 and Downpipes …

[@sk8tehwake]

After lowering, we’re you able to get it back to stock alignment specs without aftermarket arms?

[@talkingmods]

Hey Greg, use. No custom alignment was needed just did the regular stock alignment!

[@JayCowan-y3j]

Thanks for the review of the spring mods. But what about the ride? My 2020 X3M Comp rides like an empty dump truck. Brutally stiff even in so-called comfort mode. And yes, it's also "floaty" around corners. Do you have more progressive spring kits that are softer on small bumps but stiffen quickly when pushed? And do you offer stiffer sway bars? Finally, why did you do the wheel spacers?

[@talkingmods]

Hi 1 2, very welcome :) So the ride improved, however again I felt it was still floaty yet more sure footed and improved overall, personally didn't find it stiff (but one could always just go for a complete coilover with an adjustable shock for more comfort). I think for sure we'll have some sway bars soon in from the manufacturers . I am hoping they release soon because I think it will really improve the handling big time. As to the springs yes we have them and happy to do so. Can contact us here at ModBargains.com 714.582.3330 and we can work on getting you a setup. As to why we did spacers, as per your name give you a 1 2 , 1: one for sure is aesthetics (getting the wheel from being sunken in, improves the look dramatically). 2- performance wise , spacers push the wheels away from the chassis, this helps actually reduce some of that body roll, and increase the lateral grip for the tires (so when they have that more even tire load, you can have that better acceleration grip when you come out of a corner and are stepping on it).

[@k.c.6846]

I agree about the ride of the X3M, it was stiff enough stock, now lowering it just made it rougher. Love the look of it though, but went with the X5M, just more smoother of a ride. 600hp, 2.5 ton beast does move quickly also, 0-60 in 3.6 sec.

[@elhatta]

We need that you talk about the ride feeling in terms of suspension. Is it harder, softer or same as before the kit? Etc. Thanks a lot for your time.

[@Built2Fast]

WTF - this guy said it’s “floaty” in corners. Uuummmm… Nah dude, it definitely ain’t floaty in corners

[@ks3788]

Is the ride still harsh in 2022? If so I’ll go with a M40i

[@talkingmods]

Hi KS with the MSS springs i felt like things were not harsh, and very planted. If you the difference in price isn't a major factor for you I'd go x3M personally (get those MSS springs they are comfortable and really nice)

[@yesitsme8943]

How does this compare against an eibach kit.

[@talkingmods]

I mean the Eibach kit is not height adjustable, and doesn't come with bump stops, but also this is really a more tuned spring to the shock (personally i think it's no comparison) There is a big price difference of course, Eibach being a lot less, I think Eibach is awesome great company that we sell, but not really an apples to apples comparison unfortunately.

[@yesitsme8943]

@@talkingmods Thanks for your detailed response. What I'm looking for is a lowered ride with extra comfort. But maybe that's the same as wanting a Rolls Royce for 1k. Any advice is highly appreciated

[@talkingmods]

sorry for the delayed response, but yes it's like you get what you pay for, but between the two I personally feel like the MSS is the way to go.

[@performingspecs7841]

What springs and spacers would you recommend for the X5M comp? Not looking to go too low just get rid of some wheel gap.

[@talkingmods]

We are happy to help, lets jump on email or phone call, [e-mail] or 714.582.3330 , the team and I would be happy to help (just want give you all the right options)

[@JoseRivera-us3qz]

Arr the mss a bumpy ride when installed?

[@talkingmods]

Jose, they were honestly really impressive, the two companies that have really impressed were AST and MSS (different vehicles but new to marketplace) we've even gone now to add them and be a dealer. Let us know if we can help ([e-mail])

[@JoseRivera-us3qz]

Thank you for your answer. I’m getting the 2022 X3 M competition in about 5 months, and I just wanted to know if it’s a bumpy ride, are they somehow similar to coil overs or will I get the same ride as the stock suspension with the mss on the X3M

[@talkingmods]

Keeps closer to stock I'd say compliant but lowered so more sure footed. Hope that helps

[@JoseGomez-ke7hs]

Where are the mods?

[@talkingmods]

height adjustable springs from MSS and spacers were the modifications.

[@GoBrand0n]

Will this void my warranty?? I have 2022 X3 M Competition

[@talkingmods]

Hi Chris , no this will not void your warranty, the Magnuson Moss warranty act protects you. I talked about it at more depths in one of the videos, but basically it's only when it's directly related to the part.

[@GoBrand0n]

[@spikespike1332]

Funny you say the suspension is floaty in Britain its too harsh our road's here are crap...

[@talkingmods]

I've driven on British roads and yes you are right far rougher. I still suggest a better sway bar to help that float feel on the x3m

[@claudioagmfilho]

As far as wheels go, as you talked about it, There is a set for this car that comes from factory, it’s lighter…

[@AP-mg1hp]

Sweet

[@claudioagmfilho]

You need to lowered it more, the 21 inch wheels are still keeping it very high, better ps4s

[@corone2018]

Yeh it’s a daily driver for rich people 🤔 but for the average person this is a weekend weapon only , it’s over 180 thousand in Australia

[@talkingmods]

I know the prices overseas are a bit crazy where a lot of the cars we take for granted are in super car realm terms (and by no means is the x3 M an average person's car here in the US either), it is a nice smaller suv, that I've seen successful individuals purchase here in the US as their daily vehicle (as it's fairly practical and still gives them that sports car).

[@claudioagmfilho]

20 inch wheels would really work, there a BBS kit for this car that’s 19 inch

[@zartosht06]

Everyone complains about X3M suspension being too harsh meanwhile you say it is too "floaty"???

[@talkingmods]

Yeah, so floaty as in the suspension doens't feel sure footed or precise, like that boat feel where weight is transferred across the vehicle to easily rather then the shocks being put to work. (this typically happens when it's set to harshly as in to stiff) as others are describing. The MSS really did wonders on the X3M Suspension. Happy to help anyone who wants the MSS Kit for their vehicle.

right ofcourse, but that can be improved and minimized :) some nice sway bars would really help reduce the body roll will make that beast even more nimble
