The NEW BMW X3 - Do I Need An SUV? | REVIEW

[@Shmee150]

I've wanted to visit Morocco for a long time so when BMW invited me to join a trip to Marrakesh for the launch of the all new BMW X3, it didn't take long to think about it! Now in its third generation, the X3 30d xDrive that I find myself driving is more than capable of the journey to the Atlas mountains on an exploration of a breathtaking area. It makes me think though, will there be a time I decide to purchase such an SUV?

[@aaronf4201]

Shmee150 great vid as usual. I’ve never been a fan of the smaller Bmw X series but this looks pretty cool. Possibly the Moroccan weather helping the look!

[@zheega2184]

Why not buy a Stelvio?

[@soufianboudahra5662]

Shmee150 hey shmee welcome to morocco

[@askaryrbati]

Wow you were here in Morocco i'm one of the first subscribing funs how did you find the cars atmosphere here in Morocco even if we don't see supercars as much as you can in London or Dubai or Monaco

[@davidmassy545]

Shmee150 i think u should by it mostly for the space now that your "moving" to germany

[@JBrumley32771]

Shmee, I don't think you understand BMWs. They're not like flashy Mercedes. I'd say their closer to Range Rover in that they evolve the design. Because they're not flashy and on the conservative side, I love most BMWs (except for the 6 Series). I like timeless elegance. I like the fact that the interior isn't busy. The exterior grows on you as you begin to notice the lines (I especially like the looking at the X3 from the back, slightly to the side). One last thing I like about BMWs are the thoughtful luxuries it has. A very nice (and convenient) luxury is triple flash. When you want to pass a car using you signal, you press it down once and it flashes your turn signal three times. Anyway, my thoughts on the matter.

[@AreaofInterestTV]

Yeah.. G63 6x6 is for you.. !! 😍😍

[@n14llward62]

The X3 is a fantastic car. I had one for 24hr test drive & drove a Q5 the following day and much preferred the BMW. It's luxurious, quick enough for an suv(which is not what suv's are all about) and looks better in the flesh than in video /pics. More understated class than flashy in your face. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. It probably is overpriced but if it fits what you are looking for it is a really good choice.

[@othmanelekhal441]

Thanks for coming by Tim. You're welcome anytime! And thanks for the video (y)

[@Random.ChanneI]

I went to Morocco 3x. But not in such a cool car like that :(

[@Random.ChanneI]

mizzmolly I’ve also been there in 2015!

[@alanzyoutube]

No you don't need a SUV.

[@sharsasuke01]

Depends, if you live in third world country with shit roads then yes you do.

[@AutomotiveMike]

Are there kids coming in the near future? No? So no SUV!

[@Shmee150]

Haha, is it that simple xD

[@LadyizraelRoM]

how can you even compare the bmw with that american piece of junk n plastic...

[@Xanderr1495]

Didn't realise people needed SUVs for kids.

[@leonhenry4861]

and to carry lots of equipment instead of a truck or van.

[@anthonymancuso7272]

Not true. You can always find a way to use the storage. In his situation his most practical car may be the ff. I’m sure it would get used.

[@zaphod2]

BMW has done a great job creating a time machine. This car sets you back 10 years.

[@kenstyle6]

This is one of my fave video, or perhaps I’m biased bc I’ve just gotten a new X3, but you could do more of these Shmee!!!! Thanks a lot!

[@damianboone8350]

Thank you for the shoutout to the early squad👏👏 Keep doing you Tim, I cannot wait for each new video💯

[@johnd6246]

SSHHHHHMMMMEEEEEEEE! Back to the JOLLY ROGER!

[@faroukaajjane]

Welcome to Marrakesh Tim! Been a subscriber since your early spotting days... keep it up.

[@munirshafi2647]

Spot-on review and I’m booking my hotel room in that hotel !

[@Jcstuart1]

Started video, went away and made dinner, had a shower, got dressed, came back and he’s still banging on about head up displays!

[@xhafid1833]

man!!! i never thought shmee will come to my country

[@dannyboy_77]

Great vid as always Tim! It’s a nice looking Bmw, more so on the inside than out but can’t see you having one of these though!

[@DanielSadjadian]

One of the best hotel room/areas ever!

[@realrockrolla]

Best in class no competition here.I ordered my already 30d Luxury line black with caramel interior with full full option even 21 inch individual wheels.Will arrived 01.2018

[@Shmee150]

Congratulations, enjoy the car!

[@realrockrolla]

Thank you Shmee and keep up with the good reviews

[@jabbawaffle6346]

Greatly envious of your adventures Tim! Cool vid and series

[@sconstantinov62]

HI Tim, I find these reviews of quite normal cars really interesting, I hope we see them more regularly between all the mind-blowing supercar content. Also that hotel room was awesome!

[@Hammertime4404]

If you need an SUV around that size Tim, get Macan! Not as boring as the Q5 and great to drive for the class!

[@d1agram4]

We never get reviews of the base models.. always Ms or 30/35i

[@Kosmicc99]

I'm more impressed by the hotel room than the car

[@jamesc5993]

No you DO NOT Need a hateful suv

[@arvidjohansson3120]

x3 m40i with some tunes might be a really fun car. 400hp will probably not be soo hard to achieve

[@trailblazerkingdaytonaalfa3318]

I think your being very kind Shmee about the samey looking X3 there's very little difference for your £60,000 pounds. your so much more excited and thrilled about your Fabulous Room and I must say it's very luxurious and I'm really pleased for you Tim .

[@RichCSR2]

this comment totally sums it up, his face lit up when he went to his 'room' and we can't say that about the X3, I wouldn't look twice at one, hateful cars.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Morocco is such a beautiful country!

[@otmant69]

welcome to morocco it a honor to visit us on morocco

[@cj41079]

definitely not....

[@anthonymancuso7272]

If you get an suv Make sure you get atleast AWD! Don’t want to get stuck in the snow on a ski trip.

[@nichtich4633]

That hotel room. I would never want to leave

[@Shmee150]

Tell me about it, I did not get enough time to enjoy that place

[@blessingnyathi3751]

Great review it’s my second time watching it

[@mikeferguson6656]

Welcome to morocco tim !!!!!! i can't believe it haha

[@Erik-sz1pq]

TAKE THE BENTAYGA!! THE BENTAYGA!

[@betaich]

Hi Shmee, why did you delete this video hours ago, just to re-upload it again?

[@user-ln8rr3dl1p]

Obviously you need the Bentayga :)

[@Shmee150]

I'm not sure if I can afford a Bentayga xD

[@thecoolguy775]

Shmee150 nah just get the BMW. It’s amazing for the price.

The best VW for the money.

[@oof9090]

Shmee150 Replacement for the FF?

[@aidenp5768]

Nope he needs a x5m to put supercars to shame bro

[@Yojikman]

Nice video Tim!

[@rizwanahmedsethi91]

Hey +shmee150.great review.keep it up bro.

[@mc6380]

Welcome to Marrakech Shmee!

[@mfiv2006]

The villa you are staying in is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Bobbylechat94]

Perhaps it has been mentioned before but you cannot park the X3 with the display key, unlike the 5.

[@skrishna44]

Porsche Macan and Range Rover Velar will be a great sporty&comfy suv's, if u prefer to buy?

[@mattymrj01]

To you all thinking £55k is a lot; went to my local BMW dealer here in the Netherlands with my mom to look for a new car and we ended up speccing a nice X3 xDrive20i (base engine) Lux Line and it ended up being €82.000. Which is? £71.000. Yeah. It’s insane.

[@NickBoiler4]

That is the best hotel room in the world

[@DanielSadjadian]

I know, it's so damn nice!!!!!

[@ryanstephen7806]

Loved the review and the little tour of your room. Wish you were able to show that display light at the bottom of the X3

[@giovannigiorgio946]

hi shmee! good review:)

[@iissam280]

I love Morroco, best country in the world

[@DanielSadjadian]

Yeah its a nice car, but I think the GLC is better. Having driven both which one do you prefer?

[@Donzorro849]

I hated the X3 until I saw this new version. However, in blue! I like it a lot and is currenly thinking of buying one...don’t understand all negativity in the comments

[@mattrklein]

People used to make fun of the Ford GT's backside looking like something from angry birds, but an upfront look of this is questionable.

[@bobbyp_jcw309]

If you want an SUV, I’d say go for it but I think unless you have a family, I.e. kids, there isn’t really a need for an SUV. There are plenty of cars that have similar storage space I.e. most modern day estate cars. But I won’t deny there are some lovely SUVs out there. Range Rover SVR, Bentayga and Macan S to name a few! Lamborghini Urus also to come relatively soon!

[@Shmee150]

I feel like a baller saloon/estate car is more appropriate

[@bobbyp_jcw309]

Shmee150 Haha true, but feeling like a baller is a good thing 😆

[@viralshah8100]

The villa was sooo amazing it should have been a room for the RR phantom press release

[@BaggySu]

Right hand drive on right hand side of road? 🤔

[@PilotPhteven]

If you need an suv i think a cayenne/macan are far better options. But no, you don’t need one.. only useful for the ski trip.. and kids... or perhaps get one with a towing hitch+trailer and use it to transport your other cars long distances if you want to save miles on the more special cars... but i never felt you’re one to try and save miles on the other cars..

[@nyikoluckyhendrickz]

Great review 👍

[@User-bl5um]

Hi shmee. SUV’s are useful and the x3 is the perfect size. SUVs are so useful and will help you with all your trips to ikea. Get one.

[@skrishna44]

what the hell did i just see at the end?It looks like the most expensive hotel ever than in Dubai, its villa hotel?its simply amazing,hope you are having a great time in that beautifu hotel in a hot country ;)

[@shabeerjameela3748]

This or Q5? Could you do a comparison?

[@gcmah]

Nice one! Tested this 30d and M40i at the international media test drive in Lisbon. The torque in this 30d is addictive! And the exhaust note from the M40i is just obscene! in a good way of course. Check out my First Drive video from Lisbon here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXLnYebqMR-l8U Drop us a comment!

[@hadilck3000]

Love the hotel room...perhaps more than the car😁

[@CristiCroicu]

LOVE the car, LOVE the video. Continue with these kind of cars. I mean premium “normal” cars :)

[@mohamedyassine4336]

Fantastic to see you visiting my country with BMW ;)

[@Wanderlyeu]

in the future, could the bentayga replace FF?

[@karimovis]

Welcome To Morocco

[@koenruesink5129]

Is that Sapphire Black?

[@thatmatty231guy]

Looks nice! BMW Suvs always look good - even though im a Benz guy! Love your GT-R Schmee - in New Zealand here we have like none haha - I struggle to find another fellow E63 :)

[@WarrenF]

You already have a Ferrari FF which is an estate so does everything the SUV does papart from off-road. But how many people with an SUV in the UK go off road.

[@MacheteK]

I'm good thx for asking!

[@adamd6603]

Would you ever come to Sweden ? Would love to see your focus here for example fits well in our weather

[@aidenp5768]

there's nothing about the new x3 that looks like the old or even physically ALL NEW: :Wheels,chasis,engine,interior,nav,standard options,bigger moon roof,new head lights,new tail lights,new bumpers,new exhaust, new springs,new rims,new brakes,new buttons, and new steering wheel:NEW LED,new design team went into the x3 too also the last thing I can remember is that the designers are not even the same either this car Is brand new and doesn't even look like the old, the old x3 had a nav inside the dash while this is out side the dash, and in 2018 BMW will be opening a new segment in there lineup, they will change there logo , and they will bring the luxury to a new level with

[@morrisanderson3426]

I enjoyed the global end profound explanation of the BMW X3

[@Shippey-rg6wm]

Loving the Metallica advert !!!!

[@mollymarsgal3377]

Shmee, which one would you take it you could only have one? 918, p1, or Laferrari

[@Shmee150]

Can I have a Valkyrie?

[@alex-ug7xc]

Valkyrie or Project One? ^^

[@AfonsoSousa31]

Shmee gave us a shout-out **blushes**

[@okuhtttf]

Right hand drive in the right lane? Morocco is different

[@abdelhamidkettani9563]

No in morroco we have left hand drive

[@TOMO.90]

Heyyy thats me...Early and regular :)

[@hadi8982]

Here as always

[@niclna]

There’s no reserve tire?

[@utkarshkaushik617]

And shmee did you see the new teaser of the lambo​rghini urus what are you views on that are you going to buy that bull

[@jeffjardine8411]

Nice review! X3 is very well done. But you are right- looks too much like the old one. Still, it would be my choice as it is very good where it really counts for a car like this.

[@philby1979]

my Mrs is currently driving a 2 year old 320D, she is considering the new X3 as a replacement

[@St3pheco]

Yes you need

[@KayTwo25]

Cool video as always, quiet like the car even if you see it way too often on german roads^^

[@skrishna44]

can you review the new Range rover Velar? I heard that it has full latest technology you could ever imagine, I think that might also be a good option if you are looking forward to buy a SUV

[@jadelkurdi7713]

Welcome to Morocco 😀

[@chrisjones8424]

What about an SQ7? Plenty of power and has the looks

[@fuckception]

If you needed a SUV, x3 would never be your choice.

[@themindgarage8938]

If you're going to buy an SUV, go for something a little more unusual like a Stelvio or maybe a Jeep Trackhawk. But I'd rather see you in a sports saloon or estate. How about an E63 S or a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo?

[@timo9748]

I feel like car brands are cannibalizing their high end models by making the lower end models able to be specced out crazy good... I mean as a customer thats great but it might hurt sales of the more expensive base models

[@SmoothOperatorBcs]

What type of Oakleys are those?

[@davidhallam9599]

I’ve just ordered one. Can’t wait till 1st March.

[@yusufshaikh1763]

Its a reupload ??? Why ??

[@omendrangovender2774]

Maybe you could get a velar

[@khalidbelhachmi8382]

Finally you came to my home country. What did you think of Marrakesh?

[@xflow1711]

i also tested the new X3 but in Belgium on the highway. really nice car

[@nelsonleesberg641]

Hey Shmee, did you remove this video earlier today because you uploaded it early or what was the reason if i was incorrect?

[@Shmee150]

I set the wrong scheduling time and I was busy filming at that moment so I just changed it to later

[@nelsonleesberg641]

Shmee150 okay, Thank you for your response.

[@appie3240]

How did you like Morocco ?

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

Volvo XC60 twin engine? XC90 twin engine? Maybe too slow for you...

[@pacermanrocks]

Holy hell that room is totally amazing ps the BMW X3 is cool too 😂
