Good review especially on the autobahn. Very strange to me though that you dont like to M logo on the console. The same way, there is an AMG badge or S badge on Mercs and Audis, and it doesn't hurt !! The model needs some visible differentiation with the other X3...
I think it’s bit overdone with all the badges, especially when you consider this is an M performance model rather than a full X3 M. I love this car and the badges aren’t a deal breaker, but I do agree with him that BMW could have been a little more subtle with the badging.
@@sergtv9638 It's called consistency of control systems feel. Steering effort should be similar for the different vehicles you drive, even if they are not suitable for the the track.
I have X3 30i (B48) but B58 is still better then it Such a nice throttle response. I wish Australia too has autobahn. So much fun to drive the car at 260kmph
@@b.f.378, with the pandemic, I haven't been driving much. Just a few hundred miles a month. You should enjoy the X3 M40i. Really compliant for something in the SAV category.
Regrading the heavy steering feel - try to grip the steering like a man and not as if you have just applied nail polish. Plus start going to gym as someone else also suggested.
Had the pleasure of driving both. BMW does a real good job at dynamics regarding their SUVs in my opinion. however, its an SUV... The 340 has my personal preference in terms of dynamics and corners. Highway, x3 all day. :D
gesture control is rubbish... if you put your hand infront of the middle console you can easily reach the missing 5-10 cm to the freakin knob and turn up and down or just use the steeringwheel buttons...
You didn't give this a proper review and seemed in a bad mood. Maybe you should have given this review to someone else. Your M-40d review was much better.
stubones not really, compare the interior of the S class, E class, C class, they all look different. BMW interiors, on the other hand, are all very similar even on older models.
Anyone who says that they don’t like a heavy steering knows nothing about sports cars , this guy should never review sport cars he should review only Toyota Yaris ,Corolla,civic etc..
Bonnets/hoods are designed to be dropped from say 60 cm plus and not pressed down. Well that's what my dad always did and he was a car dealer.
D Pupples 30+ cm. All BMW models
Your dad is right, especially aluminium parts should not be pressed as you can end up with dents
One of The best looking ans sounding SUV and car in 2018!!!

"No one likes heavy steering". Sorry, me and several of my auto enthusiast like heavy steering and we do track days.
Track days on an Suv. Ook

rik999 your argument completely falls apart when you taking in account the fact that the weight is 100% artificial......
This car sound very nice!
BMW really nailed the design on this one. I prefer it over the LCI version.
My dream Car😍
But I prefer black leather in the cockpit
I love the heavy steering... Personal opinion of course... Love the vid!
Good video dude
Just soooo heavy In The steering....pffftttt....You really need to start working out man!

Nice car! I can’t get used to the frogeye footage of the camera. Moves way to much!
Great vehicle. Love my 2019 X3 M40i. Sounds good and runs great. Even with only 355.
Any issues with it? I'm in the process of getting one. Same 2019 X3 M40i
@@b.f.378, she only has 14,000 miles but not issues to this point. Doing everything as expected or better.

Keep it natural. The engine sounds really good without it anyway
Can't wait for the X3M :)

Comparisson with GLC 43? Who is better and why?
You go test drive my dear. help yourself. M40i> sq5> glc43
What cars do Sam and Max drive? Does anyone know?
Great video! Really nice car :)

Let’s be realistic, it’s a midsize SUV, 250 km/h is fine :-) My favorite line. I am looking at a 2021 version with the pure pack this evening :-)
Hi Max, do you already know when you will have the new X3 M for a review? Thanks in advance, Marc
how did the car shut off at 4:46 without you touching the start/stop button
I prefer the steering wheel harder as I go faster RECIFE Brazil South America...
@AutoTopNL Which brand of camera are you using for your reviews? GoPro? Thanks.
make a video of the E55 Amg :) topspeed etc
How much compromised is this in terms of dynamics and driving as it is an SUV compared to m340i wagon?

You want more exhaust sound? Turn the stereo up.

It happens because the seal is so tight on the engine bay.

Good review! But one thing I wonder, why does every dutch person sound like they are off their face on drugs when speaking english?
Test drive ford f150 raptor
Sound of engine from stereo, like a V8.

Plese test dodge ram sport
I think this brown color is ugly af, the dark brown leather is nice tho
That stupid badge
Cool car, but every interieur at BMW looks the same - i hate it
Every Merc and Audi interior looks the same too. get over it.

Atleast they refreshed it and it looks super COOL

The low x cars are so unnecessary. Its not for real offroad and this minimal Lifting doesnt make it more beautiful
Aaron schulz yes true, but it gives people a “safer” feeling.
And an SUV has some appearance wich a normal sedan or wagon doesn’t have.
