WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DAILY DRIVE A 2022 X3 M COMPETITION? | My impressions
Just an FYI that I found it hard to hear you at times.
Mabe this is indicative of daily driving in the US... As I live in Europe, a daily driver video would be discussing fuel consumtion when locked in traffic. Exaust sound when locked in trafic, between pedestrians. Confort while going over city speed bumps etc
Thanks for breaking in your 2024 M4 Competition xDrive for me. I took your M4 for a nice road trip last week from KC. Had to detour a bit to Stockton MO to avoid flooding but once SE of Stockton It was all curvy and hilly back roads to Eureka Springs. Then I spent a day tearing up the curvy and hilly roads SE of Eureka. Decided it was probable time I leave Arkansas after that ride. Then worked my way north of Table Rock Lake to Camdenton MO on more curvy and hilly roads. I ran the piss out of the car a lot of the time since could go for miles and miles in multiple areas with no traffic. It was like my private race track. I thought I may need to stop for a pit stop to change out the tires but they held up well. LOL. This car with 503 HP give me goose bumps when you push it! Generally need to back off pretty quick. I kept it in xDrive 4WD mode all the time. This car accelerates like a rocket and you can feel those front tires grabbing hard since steering becomes real sensitive when they are pulling hard. I have always been a V8 guy but I am impressed with this little 3.0L straight-six that goes to 7,500 rpm. It sounds like a race car when you wind it up. Your X5 with 617 HP V8 must be borderline crazy. The nice thing about this car once I got on Interstates heading back towards KC, the car becomes passive and pretty much drives itself and even makes lane changes for you. It is a waste to drive this car as a daily driver without ever pushing it, but it does either job very well. So many owners probably never push it like I did. Likely because it scares the piss out of them if they press the pedal hard...
You took perfect care of the car. Only thing I have noticed not working is the drivers seat does not move forward when you pull backrest forward. The passenger seat works properly. Did you notice that? No big deal. I will have dealer check it out when I go in for service. Maybe they will cover it under warranty. Only other thing is a minor scratch on upper left side of the gas fill lid. I have done two iDrive updates since purchase so system is now on 2024-03-27 version 8.5. I am thinking about coding out the Startup disclaimer message and turn off BMW's IconicSounds. From what I read, I believe this car uses IconicSounds. My M340XI had option to turn them off but no option in this car that I have found.
Traded a Cadillac 5 Blackwing for my Raptor 37 a month ago. I just found that having a sports car (sedan) that will do 200mph was a bit absurd in today’s world of Urban sprawl; even here in the Suburbs. The Raptor may not be the most practical, but mountain & beach trips, plus I can actually use the power to greater extent than a sports car. Same color here … Avalanche is the best IMO; fairly easy to keep clean.
❤
Living in Germany atm, but will be back in the USA next month and dreading the thought of owning a M4 and only have shitty roads to drive such a wonderful car on!😭
X3M all the way, every day and everywhere. Not even close. Best vehicle on the market today. The Swiss army knife of a vehicle.
Hi Matt. I am from the KC area. I recently bought this car used with about 2,300 miles on it. You saved me about $10,000 versus buying same car new from dealer. I actually ordered a 2025 M4 with manual transmission but this car was a couple thousand cheaper for a much more expensive car. I had a M340xi so know what it is like to drive with all the features. To go with a manual transmission, you give up a lot of the cool driving features. Besides, the automatic transmission shifts faster than I could ever swing the shifter. I have it all set up now for my personal preferences and had the windows all tinted with 20% shade. It looks Bad! Volcanic Red was not my first choice but it has grown on me with along with the front grilles many do not like. I am not out to race but have been know to drive aggressively and wanted something new and fun to drive before Biden and company screw up ICE vehicles more than already. I have a new Yukon 6.2L for winter driving and ski trips to Colorado so will not be driving this car in bad weather. I had an old 2003 400hp Jaguar that was still nice but was ready for something newer and different. I am tall and the short doors of the M340xi placed my body behind the door pillar making it difficult to peel myself in-and-out of. Thanks for taking nice care of my new car! Apparently, the three year service package built into new BMW auto purchases do not transfer to subsequent owners. BMW just pockets this sum at the expense of their customers if they sell early. With the xDrive and competition wheels and tires, one needs to be alert for potholes. The back tires do not have much sidewall height to adsorb hard bumps. I do not mind the firm ride. If I want otherwise, I will hop in the Yukon. I generally hold onto vehicles for a long time so do not plan to sell this car for many years. Freak Brandon!
Like mentioned above, my purchase of this car is my way of flipping the bird to Biden and his regulators. But below I see various comments about driving in the KC area. I own a Harley too. There is a lot of great riding and driving just outside and all around the KC area. Hills and curves on winding roads a plenty. Head a little further SE and you get into the Ozarks and Arkansas. I have been in crowded area like the East and West coast and anymore Texas. I always feel great relief when I get back into the wide open spaces of Kansas, or nearby states, where you can see for miles and miles and have no congestion.
Hi Paul! Congrats on buying the M4 and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Such a great car and I'm glad it went to a good home. Like you the red wasn't my first choice but when I saw it in person that sold it for me, it looks so good on that car. And yes it's well cared for. I added a ceramic coat and it never saw an automatic car wash while it was in my possession. Enjoy! And I saw your comment on all the great driving spots around KC and I'd have to agree there's a lot and yea my favorite is probably headed further down SE into the Ozarks. I love that drive down to Branson, I always look forward to that, such enjoyable roads, especially in a BMW! Cheers!
Looks mean!!! I like it
Are you able to drive the X5 thru the smaller garage door or is it kinda tight?
It fits ok if I fold the mirrors in. It's a little tight, but it does work
@@MatthewBrownVlog thanks for the reply. I got the standard 8ft door and the M40 goes through mirrors out with some inches to spare, so was wondering about the X5 being wider.
I had a 2021 BMW X5MC and changed it to a 2024 BMW X5 M60i. I added every available option and package you can get with the car. Overall, I love the M60i better than my X5MC. It was cheaper, the ride quality is much better, it has the S68 engine and I am very happy with it. In fact, I love the Integral Active Steering, which I couldn't get with the X5MC.
Nice! Glad you're enjoying it. From my '23 to the '24 X5M the ride quality is noticeably improved, but for ride comfort I'm sure still no where near the M60i
👍👍👍
You recommend buying or leasing
Typically leasing is a better deal if you switch cars often, buying is better if you want to keep something long term. Also depends on the market, with the declining values on used cars now I'd imagine leasing would be a better option.
FYI, the snow tire swap out has to do with temps also, if it’s consistently close to freezing your summer tires may crack, if you running all seasons then you should be fine.
I’ve got a Gravit Grey with Silverstone interior on order. Comfort plus and Technology plus packs. Due in April and can’t wait to take delivery.
Is the tonneau cover not locked if the tailgate is closed and locked? Huh... The tailgate is lockable isn't it?🤷♂️
I just purchased the same color 🤩
Good choice!
Bruh …you too big for that car😂
🤣
Thinking about taking the leap. Great vid. Thanks
Do it! thanks!
Whats you monthly payment?
Just got a 2024 X5M - there's a Start/Stop button that should disable that at comfort mode. Configuring M1 to comfort might also do the trick if you disable it in the settings. Have the same thing on 2023 M440i - it doesn't have start/stop disable button, but if you set Sport Individual to all comfort for regular driving - start/stop disengages 👌
got you yea there is a button to disable it, I was just hoping I could have it disabled by default when I switch to comfort instead of having to press it every time. but small issue
great taste bro great colors
Thanks bro!
The dash screen is a turn off got me…..
u can give it to me if u don't like it
I hear the ride is very stiff, some people even sell it because of that
Very firm yes, that's the trade off for this large of a vehicle being able to keep up with or beat on a track so yes it's not going to be for everyone
Friend has one. Nice but rides hard and it is noisy
Not really as I have one and it rides pretty smooth to me 🤷♂️
The camera angle is wayy better when we are able to see the whole dash of that beautiful display screen by far 🙏🏽
Good review. Nice car mate, well specked. It’s a shame the US cars have the ugly orange reflective on the wheel arch. My dad has had every X5 they’ve made 😂
Thanks!
New headlights blow, I cant believe they are changing the M3's headlights to these. Looks good on the X5 though.
what is the name of the paint job I loved this spec very much
Dravit gray, thanks!
Wow best SUV ever 😊 thanks for this video 😊
Is your 24 X5M quieter inside as far as road/wind noise than your 22 X3M was?
Yes, I would say it is a bit more insulated than the X3M. It's not like whisper quiet but a noticeable improvement from the x3
On my 22 X4MC I’m pretty sure the auto start/stop is one of the settings for M1 / M2 modes. I have it disabled in both of them, and my car always starts up in M1 I think. Are you saying the auto start/stop mode can’t be programmed into the M1/M2 presets anymore? Also saw your comment about the X3M being more fun to drive and now I’m having second thoughts about upgrading to the X6M. No family here, just wanted something a little roomier and more luxurious. Also considering the X6 M60i for the air suspension and ~32K lower price, but I love my M seats and don’t know if I want to give them up. How is the massage function? I played with it just for a moment during a test drive and it wasn’t very noticeable, but might not have had it in the right mode.
So yea in M1/M2 it's disabled, I was saying when I turn it off the M mode in the default mode it comes back on. And I did a software update on my M4 and it's doing the same now but I swore it wasn't previosly. The X5M is definitely a big step up in room and luxury so overall it's a better car. If I'm just going on fun factor though the x3/4m feels a little more like a car just because it is smaller. M60 is great too, same engine basically and will have a much more comfortable ride than the M. But yea like you say I would hate to give up the M seats and all the other M goodies that come with the M
White seats 🤮🤮🤮
I want 1
Maybe consider a stealth ppf or matte wrap if you want the frozen look w/o the understandable anxiety that comes from frozen paint. Looks great as is though
Good call, yea I have thought about doing that if I get a car I plan on keeping it for a longer period than usual. Thanks!
I know the feeling you describe about needing to own the top trim level or else you‘d constantly think about how to upgrade to it. It’s a bit silly but I’m exactly the same way lol lol
I'm glad someone else can relate and it's not just me :)
I prefer the early 2023 model in marina bay blue. Stunning ballistic machine.
Also in Kansas City and have a 20' X5 M50i. You mentioned you don't always switch out to winter wheels/tires. My main complaint is the lack of a all season tire option so I can avoid having a 2nd set of wheels and tires for the winter. Any issues driving on your softer compound tires in the winter?
Nice! I was able to get around yesterday in the snow ok on the softer tires, I just go slower and leave myself plenty of room to stop. Not ideal but it works. One issue I have noticed is when you're pulling out of the driveway in colder temps and the tires aren't warmed up they'll make this popping noise. It sounds terrible but I've been assured by the bmw techs that is normal. I'm usually more concerned about doing damage to the snow tires because if it's much above 40 degrees you can wear those prematurely
Frozen Gray looks amazing, but I'm thinking of going with Skyscraper Gray because I'm cheap and I prefer lower maintenance. How are you enjoying the Fiona Red? I'm considering that or Fjord Blue. I know the red interior will look good, but blue is more of an unknown.
Skyscraper gray looks awesome in person, I've seen it on a few M3/M4s. But yea the less maintenance/hassle the better. The Fiona red was great also love the silverstone I have in my current M4. I love the Fjord blue as well. According to my salesman that's an individual color for the interior so does add some time to the order, but worth it in my opinion because I have seen so few with that color
Congratulations on whip.....small , tiny question......underneath the headlight control , is there a foldout storage box ? Also did you get heated AND ventilated seats with this G82 ?
Yes there is the foldout storage box. I throw my sunglasses in there. On my G80 I had heated and ventilated seats, but just heated on this G82. And I do miss the ventilated part because I do use that much more often than the heating. Thanks!
Bro im a SWE too put my on to your financial/career tips to afford these cars. Keep up the great work!
Thanks bro, will do! and I've been planning a video like that for awhile so going to have to make that because seems to be a lot of interest lately. Appreciate it!
Hey hey love the video, the x5 m competition is the best suv in the word for me. I have just some question, is it expensive to fix a bmw x5 m competition ? what's the cost for fixing it ? And is the insurance's really expensive ? Thanks a lot for your answer. Keep us in touch with this beautiful x5
I haven't had to worry about repair or maintenance costs with it yet. Nothing has broke so far and it's under warranty until 4 years or 50k miles so no worries there. Also BMW includes most of the maintenance for first 3 years. And the insurance for me anyways really didn't go up much, it's a little over $100/month, but I've had the same insurance for a long time now so get pretty good rates. From what I've heard if you do own out of warranty the repair costs can be pretty high just like with an M5. thanks and will do!
how's the comfort (suspension) in this car compared to m340i or M3 ?
I can't speak for the m340i because I've never driven one, but it does ride more comfortably than my m3/m4 mainly because it sits way higher
Wow! Congrats, thank you for share.👍
Just traded my x3 M competition after 4 years for a m40i. Dallas roads are terrible and the m40i is so much better. I even have 21 inch wheels with run flats on the m40 and it’s night and day.
I would bet so yea. If you're looking for a smooth ride the m40 is a better choice hands down
m40i will drive way better with 20 inch and non runflats. I have a 22 m40i and when i replaced runflats with some ps4 tires it was such a complete different ride. You can instantly feel the difference.
Your being being modest, we all know it's your car and not the wife's car. Choosing all that power and having the big hands to make use of it is obviously a man's department. 💪 In future videos rather not even mention who owns the car if you can't be honest with us, just make it a blunt car review rather than an owner experience.
How do you like the X5M compared to the X3M ? I was debating between the two and I chose the X3M. X3M is just more fun. X5M is just too big.
I agree with that. Even if it is bigger it is still fun but if it was my own daily I'd choose the X3M just because it's a little more fun to drive. But for a family vehicle just works better
X3M is for boys. X5M is for daddies.
