X3 M for me. Looks amazing, sounds mega, fun to drive and practical at the same time. What's not to like? And 3.8 seconds 0-60 is ballistic for an SUV! That was supercar territory not many years ago.
Just brought the new X4M Competition wow it has just blown me away, it does everything that everyone says but feels ten times better in real life. When it comes to looks I believe the X4M Competition looks far superior with its sleek look and that aerodynamic back end gives it a faster sportier look than the X3M competition square box shopping trolley soccer mums SUV/SAV. As far as feeling different the X4M Competition feels great with its low roof line that gives you the sensation of being in a high performance sports car. I'm 6'2.
Who would have thought that one day the X3 actually would become a good looking car - No more complaints from me on this, well done BMW even that I dislike SUV´s in general unless they are bought to serve an SUV purpose with some terrain and offroad driven included.
That is awesome performance from a six cylinder engine! Well done, M Division! And it looks really good too! Like you, Mat, I prefer the X3M. Can't wait to hear your review when it hits UK roads, though.
Nikita Mashtalyar Yeah and for me the Rear End of the X4 is a No Go. I just dont like the Look of it. But thats okay, thats why you can choose.. If i had to choose, i would def get the X3M
@@nikitamashtalyar6704 How can they be "literally the same" except for completely different rear end and roof? Me thinks you literally don't know what "literally" means.
I owned an 2016 X4 about 3 years ago, but sold it last month. My wife didn't like it when I brought it home but as time passes she started enjoying driving it. Looking at the new X4M, my wife was like, that's our next car for sure lol.
Physics, Matt: The X4 carries a few pounds less high above the ground in the rear than the X4, improving its cornering ever so slightly. But I also firmly consider all SUV coupes to be a gastly error of judgement by all parties involved in their existence, so there's that =)
I really like the X3M. It is so cool. I actually saw the X4M in febuary at the CIAS although it was in a small hidden room and they took your phone before entry. The X4M is kinda weird looking to me though.
I really wish people would get the difference between AWD and 4WD. AWD powers all the wheels via a center differential and distributes power via clutch packs. 4WD employs a transfer case which can either just connect the other wheels or go into a low ratio mode for crawl situations. Even AWD systems with a transfer case typically lack the ability to change ratios and just disconnect the other wheels when requested
Matt. Although you drove the X3M on road and the X4M on track, did you also drive the X3M on track and X4M on road ? Did you find any difference on both these magnificent machines ?
I know its an unpopular opinion, but I love the sound of those 6 cils you get in m3 or rs5. It just sounds more sophisticated than the v8's in lets say the c63. And the sound when it shifts is lovely as well
Maxi the manufacturer sets the test locations. That’s why most reviewers videos look similar. Look out for the same licence plates in reviewers videos. Manufacturers usually use about 20 cars for press review events so many reviewers use the same cars as each other.
That stick of truth though 👌🏻
You guys aren't ready for that kind of girth just yet...I've been stick of truthing for a year now. Don't run before you can walk!
so true
Please do a comparison of BMW X3 M, Mercedes GLC 63, Alfa Stelvio QV, Porsche Macan Turbo and Jaguar F-Pace SVR!
Rush That’s a review that I’d love to see too!
Yeah that will be soo cool...
I'd like to see BMW X6, GLE Coupe and Cayenne Coupe :D
The Stelvio Quadrofoglio is so pretty
Yes do this please

New s58 engine sound so much better than previous one in m3!
Mindau agreed
100% agree way more depth
Yeah, sounds quite angry!👌🏻
Nah s55 with MPE and full send sounds alot better. This just sounds like a idk 340i or 335i. Pretty dam lame for an m car.
Finally bmw got M straight 6 to sound good
X3 M for me. Looks amazing, sounds mega, fun to drive and practical at the same time. What's not to like? And 3.8 seconds 0-60 is ballistic for an SUV! That was supercar territory not many years ago.
I am more amazed of the x7 doing 0-60 in 3.9 secs in a video Matt did not long ago.
X4 still not ready X3 all day long loved the look sound

Will Debeljak sounds like the legendary Skyline GTR
Wanna take that back
3.8s on an suv with 2tons . How it will perform on the m3 3.4/5 for sure !
I Don't think so. M3 will probably be rwd
@@mojo6112 next M3 will have the same x drive system fitted to the current M5. AWD unless you stick it into pure RWD for sliding shenanigans 😁

@Mr Rain This is $80k...
Mr Rain but the lambo urus cost 3 times to price of an x3m and the urus will be a competitor the the upcoming x5m with the v8
I love how Matt is not pretentious at all. “I’m in some track in New Jersey - I can’t remember the name.” It makes him so much more relatable.
X3m is just proper SUV looks really good way better than normaln model well done BMW!!
Drag race with glc63s please mat😁😁
Yes pleaseeeeee
And Stelvio ..
glc63s is way quicker man

I love the M1 and M2 buttons. Perfect for everyday driving. Setting 1 for absolute comfort and then setting 2 for all-out, guns blazing driving!
New engine based on B58 is - OMG - from the different world. Can't wait for new M3. Thank You, Mat
The X3M just looks like a proper BMW... Love the Design. The X4M is just a No
But BMW is the one who introduce coupe roof on SUV, so, it's a proper BMW too..
Not a fan of the tailights they introduced on the new X4 and 3 series
Alex Anders they are literally the same except for rear design and less boot cargo

Love the new X3M. I don't know why bmw didn't make this model until now, it makes a lot of sense for people who would want a smaller performance X5.

Looking at the new X4M, my wife was like, that's our next car for sure lol.
Must say BMW is coming back at merc with a bang. M5, M8 this and X4M. All great. I still prefer the thunderous V8 of the GLC 63 though.
Saw your cameo with +TheStraightPipes by introducing them to the carwow stick of truth. Loved it!
3.8 seconds is absolutely mad. Imagine how fast that’s going to be in the lighter more streamlined m3 and m4. We are talking low to mid 3’s. Madness.
Whats excellent is how well it sounds. Great news for the new M3/M4.

6:18 What app are you using for the acceleration test?
Drag Racer
The other kids put out videos early yesterday... none were as good as this, that X3M is simply amazing. Well done Matt!
Tested at Nurburgring, driven on school run.
Videos are getting better and better...
It’s weird, I prefer the regular X3 over the regular X4. But in this case, I’d rather have the X4M. It just suits it better.
Legend says if you’re early, carwow will reply to you
REPLY
That was a cheap move..
Great cameo on the Straight Pipes channel by the way. Love those guys! 😄
Actually I've watched these BMW review from straightpipes, but here I am watching again, just to listen to Matt. Love from Malaysia! 🙌🏻💘
Already watched*
"Handles the bumps quite well", as Mat drives across a billiard table.😅
Nice. Waiting for x5m
GLC 63 just for that V8 soundtrack
Damn 0-60 in 3,8 seconds?? That's faster than Lamborghini Diablo for an SUV that's insane!!! 😀😀
And what special timing app are you using?
Asking for a friend lol.
It's called drag racer in the Android store. Don't know if it's on Apple.
Hey fella just bought an x3m competition looking forward to it's delivery even more now I've watch the video impressive 0-60 time for an suv
Watching another videos until carwow notification pop up
4:40 I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😭😭 god daaaammmm it
You are selected for mission impossible 7 after watching your thumbnail...👍
Great review. Unlike whoever Topgear sent and came away plain hating the car
The real question is, How on earth does his phone not fall over when he launches the car at 6:36 😂😂
BLACK TACK

You should’ve let Yuri and Jacob do the visor test in your video! Missed opportunity 😅
The exhaust noise is perfect
stelvio qv vs x3 m vs glc 63s compare them in one video pls 🙏
This sounds so much better than the s55. Having the B58, I can’t imagine how this S58 would be.
X3MC in that exact spec please!!

ahh was just waiting for this video
I got to say, if Matt wasn't reviewing these cars, I wouldn't watch. He's is pure personality.
That is correct 👍
He has a different vibe on reviewing cars

You should've put the GlC 63 amg coupe on the poll. It looks way better.
I have been waiting for yours and it was worth the wait
brilliant, as this means the new M3 will have over 500bhp
Fistable M Mirrors😍😍😍 Mat Watson’s favorite part!!
Love the new x3m the interior is really nice but I prefer the new glc 63
Im in love with the X3 wow
I thought it was gonna cost around 40 - 50 grand. But 70+..... why would you
It'll be 100k plus in Italy lol. Then add over 5k a year in tax
I think you are spot on Matt.
New cinematographer??
Video looks more saturated and the video looks like those videos from the older channel carbuyer you were in
I think all the car companies should hire mat watson for launching the car... He gives the correct and the real timing.... 👍👍👍
im gonna test drive the new X7, GLC 63 AMG and the X3M soon but i dont think any of these are gonna make me sell my Cayenne Turbo.
Really, test drive and x3m and it will make your cayenne turbo feel slow
