BMW M3 Competition XDrive Review: London To Germany 🇩🇪 *Roadtrip*

[@brandonhuggins1736]

Back roads around the ring are GREAT. Went from there to cologne and had a great time. And of course I drove a few laps around the ring.

[@stevie007]

Thanks!

[@michaelbetanzos6172]

Loving this particular video, and I really enjoy your style of narration in your videos - great work!

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much

[@jtoncars]

Awesome video mate. Shame you couldn’t take it on the track. The M3 xdrive does make a for a perfect car if you are going to juggle both daily and then use it for a hoon as well. 🙌🙌

[@StefABtv]

Thanks dude

[@harshhell4185]

The production quality of your videos is something else. It’s like watching an episode of Top Gear (the old one). Brilliant!

[@StefABtv]

Thank you

[@artgreen6915]

I like how it tells you the gear you're in even in Drive. It would be nice if the std 3-series did that rather than just 'D'. Makes it that little bit easier to judge it right if you want to take over the gearbox quickly, but not be in manual control all the time.

[@giochinina100]

Dream trip for sure 🚀🪐🚀

[@borinvlogs]

there's just something about Porsche just looks and feels exclusive and special.

[@StefABtv]

Yep!

[@299_Lifestyle]

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 ! We are glad to be in your Video! ☺️

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God I will buy one for myself

[@R1koe2840]

The car is far more capable than any of us will ever be, even in comfort setting. A good driver in a mini classic would keep up easy.

[@ryanspicer4954]

Great video Stef enjoyed it 👍

[@unjustkatana]

If I'm driving only in dry conditions which one would still be better, the standard or the XDrive ?

[@M3Froggy]

I own both. On a dry race track xdrive is way faster, but the base rwd manual I have quite a bit more fun daily driving ❤

Great ad for Merc build quality !

Brilliant video. Love a road trip. We passed through Baden Baden and the Black Forest en route to Hungary in 2018 in my brothers early Conti GT. Both lovely places to drive though.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you!

Aww this should be road trip part 1 with 2 and 3 to follow! :) more Black Forest action please :)

how do you know the aero kit does nothing holding it on with cable tie

[@JaakEnnuste]

This is rather interesting that you haven't driven on NS at all? Why?

[@robertfox882]

Great video..👍.. interesting that the weight of the M3 has crept up to nearly 1800kg now..

[@smm6526]

There is no way one can expect that not to happen, its not 1995 anymore

[@robertfox882]

Still A shame though

[@smm6526]

@@robertfox882 it's not a shame, you're the one who is slow..

[@robertfox882]

Seeing as I own a 991 GT3 RS and various other bmw's.i think I know what I am talking about

[@GhostRider_237]

nice video! you should make it longer

[@StefABtv]

Thanks! Interesting as I find when I make videos longer the audience don’t respond as well or they drop off mid way

[@tredfxman]

Hum.. Gives you doubts on the Quality Assurance team at Mercedes... Great Video though i miss an Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio or similar to compare coz i feel its more unique/special 👍

[@StefABtv]

Thanks!

[@Steve48989]

One issue and the “quality assurance team at Mercedes” is to blame. I’m sure no other car brand on earth has any issues at all.

I’ve specced one a couple of times and am close to pulling the trigger. Funny thing I went for an almost identical spec to you

[@StefABtv]

That’s a solid spec :)

[@dangermouse2896]

I know lots of people don't like the new front end (me included) what do you think? Love your content!!!!!!!!

[@StefABtv]

I don’t like the front end. I can tolerate it now though lol

[@dangermouse2896]

Started to grow on me a tiny bit as well but I have no idea why they went ahead with that design

[@alberthahn2570]

i personally love the front end and think it makes the entire car look meaner

[@simontaylor3211]

Great video Stef. I really felt for your mate with his under tray. I take it the temporary fix held?

[@StefABtv]

Yep it did indeed!

[@bootneck401664]

Great video mate. I got to ask your opinion pal, I have both the G80 M3xdrive and the Giulia Quadrifoglio on order and probably going to arrive very soon but my question is which of the 2 would you go for?? I’m asking as I’m thinking of offloading one of them upon delivery as there both similar cars. 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PK-gs3xo]

Must be Giulia Quadrifoglio.

[@fcc1311]

This or alfa qv?? Which one would you get??

[@Watson1973]

Great video Stef Genuinely when u said his undertray has dropped I thought u meant he was ill or something (follow thru?) Lol Nice spec on the BMW

[@StefABtv]

Thank you man

[@paultrueman6700]

Another great video,next time can you take your r53 😁

[@StefABtv]

🙌🙌

[@TTGT2000]

So which one you say is best: alfa romeo quadrifoglio or this m3 xdrive? Overall and also on different relevant aspects like driving, performance, comfort, etc. Thanks

[@StefABtv]

Overall m3 XDRIVE. For a more involved drive when being pushed the QV for me still keeps you on edge more and is lighter and has a bit more emotion in my opinion but for all year round every day the m3 is better

[@bondy284]

Great road trip video Stef👍. Ohh that interior colour......I like it !!!!. Mercedes under tray issue.....very unlucky and surely should not happen. Keep them coming🍸😎

[@StefABtv]

Cheers man

[@Porsche1969]

Obviously a quite cheap tuning front splitter bullshit part... This shouldn't happen with a quality part for a Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe.

[@NVMotorsportUK]

Great chat🙏

[@StefABtv]

[@Northridge]

Stef, I have to finalise my order for the M3 next week and I'm debating between Aventurine Red and Skyscraper Grey. Since you have seen the M3 in both colours in person, which one do you prefer?

[@StefABtv]

Grey for me personally worn a loud interior :)

[@StefABtv]

*with

[@kurtgabbidon2666]

how much you spent on fuel

[@harryspindley6474]

I swr the Nurburgring is a technically a toll road though so you wouldn’t have to have track insurance, am I wrong? Brilliant video mate enjoyed it a lot

[@dgaparker]

Great episode Stef. How’s the M3 ride quality compared to the Giulia Quadrifoglio? Thanks.

[@StefABtv]

It’s very very good on the m3. In comfort it is really nice and bump absorbing. More so than the Giulia sports plus it’s similar to the Giulia but the Giulia is a few hundred kg lighter

[@doncapique318]

Since you one of the Alfisti.... Can you tell us which one is the best to drive Giulia QV or M3? The performance i mean....

[@swiss889]

Mercs aren't built like they should be these days

[@seancockram237]

Love that interior….still not liking the front end but an impressive motor for sure . Great video as always cheers 🍻

[@StefABtv]

Thanks!!

[@alberthahn2570]

after getting some used to and especially seeing in person, I think the frontend now looks the best of all M3's

[@ichich3717]

All Mankind knows only Germans can made Cars!

German engineering is just on another level 🔥

[@TheHubbaHubba1]

Guy shouldn’t have put a rubbish aftermarket splitter on his c63 😂

[@kanzzon]

UK driver, German car, Chinese zip ties. That’s how you know things will go well!

[@billymania11]

The M3 has become a GT cruiser. Nothing wrong with that but it's no longer a sport car per se. It's actually slightly painful to watching these new M3's and M4's being slung around on the track. The wider tires are really taking a beating.

[@NDakovic]

Which m3 do you own, that is considered a good era of m3?

Mate u were so dramatic about a stupid undertray , it happens it’s not a big deal if it’s loose if u had cable ties on hand u could’ve even done it urself u were acting as if the car was gonna get seriously damaged or something

[@StefABtv]

Your comment sounds dramatic

[@kristiyandinev9629]

Dude it's a brand new freaking car , you pay and of course you'd expect to have 0 issues and to think I was mad when my 20 y.o car's under tray fell

@@kristiyandinev9629 yea it is a new car fair point but in the worst case the undertray wouldve been scuffed at best that’s all …
