@@RealKevGotEm ...The topher, car and driver, and pretty much everyone else have agreed that the new X5 (2019 and up) is the most fun to drive X5 in history. So really don’t get what you’re going on about.
I appreciate that you add that “for an crossover” caveat to the your observations. It’s good to have a reference, understanding that it’s “fun” for a crossover, not necessarily for a sedan/hatch. Likewise when you said that it was fine to have somewhat numb steering feedback, since it’s not a sports car. Good review!
Wayne Rhea I don’t think they make German quality cars. They make JAPANESE quality cars. Unlike other brands, rather than try to emulate Mercedes or BMW, Mazda is emulating their own Japanese kodo culture with Japanese engineering (engineering that’s both luxurious and reliable). It’s all Japanese quality in its own right.
Think at Mazda is making it's own way, but Wayne Rhea has a point. I think Mazda is moving more premium and getting quality and design ideas from the German luxury brands. I like to think of them as sort of a Japanese BMW.
@@rdm925 I think Japanese BMW is Acura/ Honda. I have driven both BMW x3 and Acura MDX which is very sporty responsive and very comfortable. Same price segment.
Why weren't your main gauges changing with the comfort/sport/econo mode changes? I noticed the center console was indicating correctly. I've never had that happen. I did leave the sunroof open once and for a day the rained-on center console buttons did not function or light up. That was scary as the warranty was about up.
Ik this is a little bit older video, but, did u say u can lock the key fob in the car?? I have a 2017 Honda Civic and u can’t lock the keys in the car😂the doors won’t lock if u try to lock it by pushing the button on the door handle😂it won’t even lock the keys in the trunk😂💀🤣
Probably this question is weird but I really wanna know if this compare to 5 series what is gonna be the big different of driving experience ? I can’t make a decision yet.
Good to see you back in an X3 dressed out a bit more with the full digital cockpit and adaptive headlights. We scored an msport exec after your first X3 POV. I think your's was one of the first if not thee first. Just logged in two years and 2nd set of RFT's we love the car.
In the Australian market, we have the newer iDrive and BMW’s new X5/7 dashboard, here this would be classified as 2018, Edit: And the head-up display is very different
Handling should be better being that it's primarily rear wheel drive with the xDrive whereas RDX is primarily front wheel drive and can be ordered with all-wheel drive. Basically for handling you want rear wheel drive as your primary.
Nice SUV, I took it out for a test drive. For someone who is coming from a sedan, coupe or hatchback, this vehicle is going to feel sluggish and offer poor handling. Yes, it's not a fair comparison, but I feel most people graduating from those smaller vehicles are likely looking at the X3 for family purposes. And, this crossover is going to disappoint many. I would recommend taking the X3 M40i for a test drive instead where you have the B58 engine and the stiffer suspension. It'll get you a bit closer if you're coming from 2-series or 3-series BMWs.
Actually about 0 to 60 in about 6.1 seconds. It's actually one of the faster 2 liters. I have one of these and it's pretty fast as far as I'm concerned. Top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour electronically and I'm sure it would have no problem doing that and probably more.
Do you use the same repulsive music for each demonstration? How about some Bach? Although the second track sounds like the soundtrack score from Smiley's People.
"Turn signals, but no one is using those"
The Topher 2020 speaks the truth !
No. Only idiotic incompetent drivers fail to use them, and car reviewers who don't, should find another line of work.
@@MrAquinas1 He uses turn signals, but it’s just a joke, specifically about people who drive BMWs
@@MrAquinas1 its an old joke of the old bmws cuz the turn signal was hard to turn off when you were racing
Qsssc .

Kudos to the BMW turn signal joke! Good one!
10:09 - The Focus ST driver must really not care about his cars cooling, by keeping his tags in that place.
It's funny to me how disconnected and artificial most BMW steering is now. Just more generic every year.
MrCarGuy20 That’s how SUVs have always been though
@@omgitsjakenjames Nope.
It kind of reminds me of my 2018 Honda Accord EX-L 😕

His videos help me learn more abt my car or the cars that I buy
Thank you for your valuable input, Your Highness.

Was it a Ford convention at the time of the recording? I think I saw like 12 Ford vehicles in one clip
Hahah, no it’s just metro Detroit - everyone works for Ford, or has family who works for Ford and gets discounts, etc.
It's okay, but for the money,I like my Mazda CX-5 Signature better. More value for the money and reliable.
See this is why mazda is so great they make German quality cars but for normal people money and they are relatively reliable

My godmother has a 2018 X3 in black. She likes hers
I could tell that this car has a extremely good turning radius for and SUV:)
X3 vs CX 5 turbo? Please some advise..
Need the 40i for highway driving!
Alfa Romeo review please
Can you do the Mercedes Benz cla class 2020

Currently I'm driving an BMW F10. Either this X3 or the Audi Q7 will be my next upgrade.
X3 with the 30i engine is great. I’ve had my X3 for 1-2 weeks. Loving it. I feel like the Q7 is so much bigger.
@@lspd5916 Well it is, they are completely different sizes and classes
@@alh06 I was trying to say that the Q7 felt to big for my taste.
I loveeeeeee these cars i watch him all day and i like the bmw x5
is the power on this car enough?
Is it just me, or is the turn signal too fast. Kind of annoying.😖
Donovan that’s always been a bmw thing, Mercedes as well. Audi on the other hand has the slower turn signal operation
@@pilotvanquish3886 audis has to be slower since they have a sweeping indicator
Will go for Q5
Ik this is a little bit older video, but, did u say u can lock the key fob in the car?? I have a 2017 Honda Civic and u can’t lock the keys in the car😂the doors won’t lock if u try to lock it by pushing the button on the door handle😂it won’t even lock the keys in the trunk😂💀🤣
You mention the seats are not comfortable. Can you suggest any CUV/SUV with comfortable seats? This is my No 1 requirement. Thanks.
What song is that 🤣
Very cool
How do you turn off the feature where the car shuts off when you come to a complete stop.
The real leather seats aren't as comfortable than the other fake leather which is shocking
Probably this question is weird but I really wanna know if this compare to 5 series what is gonna be the big different of driving experience ? I can’t make a decision yet.
I drove the BMW X3 and the Mercedes GLC , both are almost the same but In my opinion I like Mercedes the most

2nd set!!!? When did you wear the 1st one out?
very good
You should review the 2020 Corolla Manual
He did
Actually it was a 19, is there a difference already
Flat yes there is a redesigned 2020 Corolla out
Please do night drive of this car...with ambient lighting....
In the Australian market, we have the newer iDrive and BMW’s new X5/7 dashboard, here this would be classified as 2018,
Edit: And the head-up display is very different
You can get the new dashboard, but it's US$1000 extra.
I’m really liking that watch! What Company is it ?
harman kardon?
Can you do brake test? In other cars
How does the driving experience compare to the Acura RDX?
Handling should be better being that it's primarily rear wheel drive with the xDrive whereas RDX is primarily front wheel drive and can be ordered with all-wheel drive. Basically for handling you want rear wheel drive as your primary.
Very nice and honest review
Sploosh💦
That's nice
I wish they had the v6 from my 2010 BMW X3 3.0si
And that is not a V6... It is an inline6...
I have the 09 328i xdrive with 3 liter inline 6 and if this vehicle had the same engine I have in mine this would definitely be my second vehicle!
4th
Perfect video ending 👌
It already looks outdated.
Think the Q5 is the best crossover in the segment tho
Angry Whale still no rear leg room in Q5....I’ve sat in GLC, X3 and its small in the Audi.
Its front wheel based and its weight distribution isn’t on par with this. This is more of a drivers car.
This is a far- better driving car and I’m an Audi kind of guy usually
Look like a 2014
First
GG

First. So my opinion is more opportant. X3 looks like M3's fat thor version.
kablouser not if your spelling sucks it’s not.
Quite slow for a 2L
Actually about 0 to 60 in about 6.1 seconds. It's actually one of the faster 2 liters. I have one of these and it's pretty fast as far as I'm concerned. Top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour electronically and I'm sure it would have no problem doing that and probably more.

That money I would buy Tesla Model Y all the time
...except that it isn’t available to buy yet lol
