Thank you misha! I had a great experience! My apologies for the bottle.😅 Glad u liked the car! Yes i should have removed the bottle before the lap! But in my defense, at the time i suggested to catch it and i thougt about the attempt for it, i felt like it whas bad timing and misha would give me a “go” for it. Cheers

Bruno mate, what is the modification list for your beast?

[@ZenGarden99]

[@privatesgooglekonto7638]

The bottle shifted the weight around so much, Misha just kept loosing it because of that. Its a very serious hazard

[@t3chn0m0]

Great Setup Bruno. That thing really corners flat and can be thrown into a curve. Also the pads are good. The late braking points are always tricky for SUVs.

you sir should have your drivers licence revoked; beside the fact you brought an SUV with more power than decency, you go to track with it as well?!, there should be a law against that...or ar least some rules by the track owners.

[@ShadowSingularity88]

Thats not a weight reduction mod, the backseat is gone so you have to pay less taxes as its now registered as a "light cargo" vehicle aka "lichte vracht" in belgium.

[@Dyshonoring]

he said this bro

[@johnl.38]

It's wild that suddenly removing rear seats on an x3m makes it a cargo van lol

[@banaana1234]

@@johnl.38Afaik at least here its pretty simple: A van can have a maximum of three seats in one row and it needs to have more cargo capacity than it has people capacity. This is calculated with the nominal weight of 68kg per person. Ford fiesta had a pretty popular van version, as the diesel engine was very economical and vans aren't taxed as heavily for having a diesel engine. It was the perfect car for lots of small businesses that need some supplies and one or two people to do whatever job they are doing. You don't see petrol vans here though as the tax benefit comes from being exempt from diesel tax :D

[@FreshlySnipes]

That S58 engine is an absolute BEAST! I have it in my M3 and it’s fantastic. If I went to the mountains more I would probably have gone with the X3M instead of the M3. Quick tune and that X3 is pushing 700 HP!! Cray Cray

I had an X3 30d 2016, and it was a weapon for a car. The torque pull was hard and great for overtaking.

[@genderlessyoutubefanperson]

Try tuned X3M....it is like mad bull on steroids.

[@itisjustacomment]

@genderlessyoutubefanperson tried it lovely car, The tyres were a pain, and I just felt firm, but the r power hoo weeee was amazing. I didn't like the x3 run flats as wide as we had them. The noise and ride weren't great to live with. But that's all we goy mostly. I used to work for a leasing firm, mostly business, so fleet cars alphabet car leasing Leeds and also part of ING. Sadly, we got made redundant, I used to get a company car, and if we paid a bit more, we could upgrade, we were pushed to try all stock at dinner times we used to take out all cars. We tried mostly BMW parts, mercs, and Porsches, which were amazing cars, etc I had loads over the years at a company 330d, 335i, compact 323ti, 320i, 320d estate, x3 3d, X 3,35 d, M 235i, mini copper, older 235i and for only one year M3 etc and many others. Almost all cars were fully loaded, which was everything added, so they looked great. Nice cars loved them all. My favourite of the bunch is 335d touring, M235i, and fully enough, X3 335d, the second one I had fully loaded. That thing in black looked mean and was a great all-around car. It's not that big inside. When I had 4 people in, they used to complain in the front, hitting their knees in the rim around the dash. But I loved it Going from that to M3 didn't feel right, I just wanted the X3 back, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, M3 was fast and all, but to live with as daily after the novelty wore off. Not so much. 335 touring or x3 35d fully loaded for a daily 235i as drivers car . What beat them all was the porsche range we tried at dinner time and used to drive to people when we were short staffed the turbo S, GTS , Carrera 4, now that's all me :)

[@mtb8753]

You know you driving a Belgian car when they remove the back seat to spare on tax 🤣

[@bingchilling2864]

How does that even work? Only thing I could think of is that a lot of horsepower and no rear seats makes the car fall into a different class, like a sportscar. But I don't understand why a sportscar would be taxed less than an suv

[@mtb8753]

If you take out the backseat it falls in the category of light load like a working van and not like a normal car. That’s the reason why a lot of cars with much horsepower do it in Belgium. You pay tax here on the amount of kw/hp but not with a light load car.

Misha’s way to play bottle flip … Can someone explain the need for a SUV on lowering springs, while there is a touring ? Just curious.

[@ShreksEsel]

Verly likely just personal preference and optics. In practical terms with the X3 you gain about 50-90litres additional trunk volume and slightly more head clearance in the front seats, yet lose a bit of head clearance in the back. People just love their SUVs.

[@peterise192]

because, how are you going to look like a rich twat in a estate?

[@rewantasubba5180]

Very strange choice. Buy super suv for space, high ride and utility still with great acceleration. And modified to make it like a sport car.

[@sys-administrator]

@@ShreksEsel Headroom is more but for the rest the X3 M has less interior space than the M3

[@sys-administrator]

In this case the owner has registered it as a commercial vehicle (lichte vracht) because it has no back seat. That gives you tax benefits. This is possible on the X3 M because of its short wheelbase. You can't do that on the M3 touring.

[@joachimjager8195]

Hello Mischa, I haven't seen very many videos from you and I'm wondering, what do you do to test the vehicle before a trip like this? Things like brake fluid come to mind. I saw a video of you where you suddenly step into space when braking. Are there vehicles where you generally trust or distrust the brake system? Not every braking system can survive such a stretch of road as hard as you push the cars.

[@OnlyBigBrain]

he doesnt test the vehicles prior to the lap as far as i know. He is very experienced which in turn means he feel the brake fade if its occurs. There have been a few videos where the brakes gave up but he knows how to handle it

[@joachimjager8195]

@@OnlyBigBrain It seems so. I think I once saw that in such a case he turned the steering wheel twice sharply in both directions, apparently slowing down the car with some kind of hook. But I'm far from judging whether something like that works ;-)

[@RDSAlphard]

Isn't the no-backseat-tax-benefit things only on SUV/Truck? I guess that's why owner have the X3 M instead of M3 Touring? But yeah, I personally think loose objects should be stored properly before the lap.

[@sys-administrator]

The cargo area needs to be 50% of the cars wheelbase. The X3 M has a shorter wheelbase than the M3 touring so that is perhaps why only the X3 M can be converted to a van.

[@mgcharoudin]

@Brunovd99 thanks! I've been having a great debate about whether I want m3 or x3m. X3ms have depreciated so much it's a cheaper way to get an s58 car, but they'll probably keep depreciating whereas the m3 should dip and go up on value again.

[@Brunovd99]

I had that to between the x3m and the m3touring. I liked the wide hips on the m3 but in area a live and work area (harbor) the x3m is much more robust for the bad roads there and in Belgium in general 😢
