sadly BMW driver assistant plus option is not available anymore :(

[@aizen814]

Loved the scientific explanation about why the UK isn't allowed to get beige colors.

[@jimbojunior8236]

No beige seats for us in the UK because we'd spill our tea on it. Made me laugh out loud. I really enjoy your reviews, very informative and a little light hearted. Don't change.

[@autogefuehl]

=) thanks m8 !

Either those tailights are Mass Effect relays or Halo energy swords lmao

Many people seem to hate it, I quite like it.

[@HiddenWen]

I can't unsee the halo energy swords anymore.

[@moeketsimaphela18]

Those lights are ugly, ruined an otherwise very beautiful car.

[@batmanRBC]

Just got one of these in metallic charcoal grey (or whatever it’s called), those taillights are my favorite exterior feature because it differentiates it from pre-LCI

[@pertown]

@@batmanRBC did they finally get their head out of their asses and put remote engine start now? Smh an x3 m40i was my dream car but some idiot decided its fine to not have remote start on a luxury SUV. Ended up getting an x5 instead...

[@court1188]

Really Thomas, spill our tea!!! 😂 Wahrscheinlich nicht, eher wie Rotwein! I prefer light colour interiors, but dye transfer from Jeans can be a problem. Interior of X3 now brought up to date and all the better for it.

never minding the designed exhausts, look beautiful. great review as always and love the shots in the dark with the lights.. its the best lighting for cars, expresses their light design and makes a warm mood imagining the seat heating and playing our fav songs and driving.. dream

[@SamHP85]

I got mine in Alpine White with Shadowline back in September, and I absolutely love driving it! Trying to find an excuse to drive more lol

Great one again Thomas. If you want to get a false speed setting, go behind a truck which has the 70, 80 and 90 speed limit labels on its back. Mine detected once the 90 limit and a few minutes later the 70 one, same truck :)

Got one 3 weeks ago in charcoal grey. I could not be happier. Also got the M Sport edition. Totally worth the upgrade.

[@Sukanyavalleru]

I’m watching this video today as my X3 new car delivery today ❤truly Informative video 👏👍

[@markscars1069]

Spent a lot of time in an X3 M Sport recently whilst waiting for my M340i to be delivered. And I absolutely loved it. Never really been a fan of SUVs, but the comfort and sense of well being over a long journey were palpable. Something like an X3 M40i may be my next car. If they still make them… And true enough. I’ve had my G20 for 1300 miles. Not yet used adaptive driving mode. And fantastic to hear your new Govt. isn’t going to blanket limit the autobahns. Spent many happy years driving safely and effectively between Berlin and Munich. Hope to do it again soon 😀

Also in comfort mode it can shows the rev counter you just have to go to car and then display, there you can set up what you want the car to show on the right part of the screen. I know this because I literally hate to not see the rev counter while driving

[@rimmerblues1586]

Good vid again Thomas. Car looks good, can't say the tail-lights style are exactly for me but are fine. Exhausts real 👍 Glad to see the light brown seats again as i've missed Saddle Brown. And the paint does look grey at certain angles. Very functional and neat cabin 👍 This style in & out was what I was expecting the new Active Tourer to be! They over styled that car :(

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 😊

[@davidupton8085]

Thomas, why is non-animal seat coverings more sustainable? The animals are being raised for the food anyhow, so it makes sense to use the skin. Is the alternative man-made material good for the environment? How is it made, what from and is it recyclable or breaks down naturally? I'd be interested to learn more bout this.

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

[@davidupton8085]

@@autogefuehl Thank you for your detailed reply, I appreciate this! I watch the videos in the links you provided. I am a forensic analyser of data and play devils advocate to try to obtain my own view on subject. there are some very general macro sized points that is where I begin on this subject; without the Apes, that evolved to be humans, being forced to eat meat to survive, we wouldn't be here. Humans are omnivores and being just another animal of nature I can not have a view that eating another animal is murder. Killing an animal and not making use of what it provides is more like murder. How we kill them is another matter of course. Playing the devils advocate, without some bright spark thousands of years ago realising bringing animals alive back to their settlement and breeding them, there would not be any wild animals Ieft in existence. They would have all eaten long long ago. On the data provided by some organisations I have to say it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. All organisations present skewed findings to support their cause, and it is often frustrating to find that one can not trust the findings. But, I will investigate a lot more on this topic. On another macro point, humans consume vast resources, whatever they are and that is the problem. The best thing any of us can do is have less than two children and hope to reduce the population significantly within 100 years.

just because we did something in the past, doesnt mean we should do it today m8

[@elroz1675]

nice car and I've been waiting specifically for Autogefuhl to review it. Thanks! P.S. I'm afraid that panoramic sunroof will eventually rattle and jiggle on our crappy Massachusetts roads. No offense, but I have not seen very good quality from German pano roofs (Audis, for example). Put these two together and no no no. Plus I don't want the added weight at the top of this raised car.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep tuning in! Of course a fixed roof will always be "safer" !

Would be good to know why when we build the x3 in the US,, it takes away the beige color option especially when adding in ventilated seats for front or heated seats in the back. Also It removes the front passenger gear lumbar with such toggles which is difficult to understand.

Hi Thomas, does the steering wheel in this new version still "loose" like in the old one? Thanks

[@peromalmstrom7668]

Thanks Thomas. I've got a new X3 which I've had on order since April 2021. UK BMW Dealership informed me 1st delivery to UK will be from May 2022, with my ordered X3 LCI M40I likely to arrive June 2022. A 14 month wait for a new BMW X3. Guess it is the reality of the world currently, but frustrating to see them already with customers in USA and Europe! Would be interested on your views Thomas between Adaptive LED Headlights and Laser Headlights. Expensive option at £1500 for Laser, especially on UK roads! Long, straight Motorways, I can see the advantage, but normal UK roads with twists and turns along with road height loss or gains, make the additional distance for £1500, far less attractive, as this generation of BMW LED Adaptive Headlights, are more than adequate. It is why i have not added this option to my order. Note the X3, as alluded, in UK market no longer comes available with with phone wireless charging, rear heated seats or rear seat lowering by a button in the rear of the boot, as well as the white seats, which i would never order again anyway (Have them on my current X5 and jeans have stained the seats terribly which are impossible to clean-up and remove the staining, even with the paid for extra 'guard' protecting interior spray added from new). Thanks for a good review as always Thomas

[@autogefuehl]

thanks m8! Yeah, Laser is not really necessary indeed. Inductive charging pad is missing as I said due to semi-conductor shortage. Bright seats in general in the automotive industry will be possible again to use with removing stains, future is ahead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM

Great review, Thomas! I cannot choose between the 2022 x3 and the Tesla Model Y performance. I have 2 kids and we travel quite a lot around Europe, all seasons, mountain roads in all weather conditions. Besides obvious EV range considerations, I am of course attracted by the power and the size of the Model Y but I am not sure it is already mature enough to give me peace of mind for travelling in safety and comfort. Any recommendations or considerations? Many thanks!
