It must be very frustrating to work as an engineer at BMW right now. You know you can make great cars but the design department floats billions of stupid design and cost cutting ideas at you every 5 minutes, adding "this came from upstairs".
I sat in this car at the dealership when my mighty 320d needed some service. the car felt like a cheap e87 one series on the inside. The goofy ambient lights make it look like its a small cheap hatchback and there is CHEAP PLASTIC ON THE DOOR WHERE THE WINDOWS OPEN?!?! Unacceptable.
112 Thousand Euros. I repeat, 112,000 Euro BMW X3. Don't forget, there are still two classes above it, X5 and X7. Six figures for such an unlikeable design with so much plastic inside. I realize its the top model of the X3 (the M50), and yet from the inside it looks worse than the previous generation of X3, where are the buttons, the ease of use? No metal, just plastic, touch buttons and screens. Aziz says its worth it. To whom? Who would pay so much money for an X3? I think the majority will only jump into this with good leasing rates or amazing government subventions on hybrid engine models. Its absolutely insane how expensive it is for a plastic car with nice paint/polish. Rear seats look depressing, even just comparing to previous generation of X3.
No body pointed a gun 🔫 at your face and said like this technology by force. Remember if you don't like it,it's not meant for you. As angry as you are I'd advise you to continue venturing into older models without those screens. No need to swear and be angry life is too short to be worried by things that you'll die and leave in this earth.
This review felt quite scripted and pushed by the manufacturer. No way he would complain only about the dashboard. The whole interior is just ridiculously cheap. Not going to comment on the looks because it is subjective. Moving on the outside the whole car is bland with hardly any lines from the side. 4 exhaust pipes on non M is a no no.
@@cesekar2001I like the interior… I like how it looks, and I don’t mind the “quality” that much, but maybe I’d as an owner, just someone in my family has one and I don’t feel that quality is terrible (maybe for this price it is, I’m not sure).
I agree - I really like the exterior - even if everyone is against - the biggest downer is the interior - like what the actual F* were they thinking - its one of there best selling cars and you are sitting more inside than looking at the car from the outside - its cold, plasticy and you do not even only feel the cost reduction measure you see them - i mean ambient light missing in the back - those cheap door openers, the so called „juwelery box“ which is basically a whole - naaaah sorry bmw - I love you but sorry - hurry with the LCI and bring back some soul and heart - bring us decor like woods or metalls (not only around the gear box) - remove the textil on the dash… its a pity - outside is still beautiful
Terrible car... The quality is getting worse and worse. There was a time when manufacturers competed to make the best car, but now they compete to make the cheapest one and sell it for the highest price. This thing, screens aside, is on the same quality level as a 2015 Hyundai. Check out the plastics... Imagine the state of this car in 10 years.
Interior Design / Quality is completely off. Hard plastic door handles, H/K really not what it once was, that weird texture dashboard, the whole shape actually.. doesn’t look inviting at all. But hey - massive 8k display..
I thought the front of the car was the ugliest part until I saw the side profile. Not to my liking. Furthermore I thing making cars more aerodynamic for slipping through the air better, destroys car design in many cases. To the interior looks ok. Typical modern interior. Shitty quality comes with that. I miss a real drivemode shifter. And 105000 swiss franks is horrific. Its still an X3. Thankfully they still give you a straight 6 and an overall good driving car. I strongly believe from most brands, we already got the best cars they will ever build. If regulations dont change, cars will only get worse. Thank the Eu for example, for this fate. Thanks for the great review Aziz👍
The front is like the pork from Angry birds. I cannot understand the rear part . It looks a bit like a station wagon, a bit like a mini van, a bit like an suv.
I do like the fixed roof with a sunshade, something that Tesla does not have. The sunshade is a dealbreaker for me since the summers are crazy hot here and I rarely open the sunroof anyway.
The best selling BMW because people have no imagination or interest in cars anymore. Road tanks for as far as the eye can see. Suppose at least this is a somewhat interesting one.
I doubt this car, once again. They downgraded the inside way too much with the upper dashboard and door materials (AutoTopNl, Throttle House). The h/k sounds even worse than before (source: daily motor). The good thing is the B58.. from a perspective of the outgoing F97 owner there is a lot to dislike. Also the leather airbag is gone and so is the classic gear leaver. I just don‘t feel like I‘m getting any BMW ever beside now having the F90 lci. Shame that they share the same badge.
People are hating to much, what other new SUV in the class is better? Six cylinder, real wheel bias, supernice seats, merino leather as an option. Just be happy you still can buy petrol cars that make you feel something.
It being an SUV is the problem. It's the only type of car people seem to buy these days and they serve absolutely no purpose above and beyod a regular car besides being fucking massive for no reason and being driven by people who couldn't park a go kart nevermind a road tank.
I don’t get the opinions that everything is cheap inside? I have one and everytime I get into it I feel like i’m in a luxurious rocket. Once you drive it you may change your mind if you have any sense of the technology invested in this car.
Yes. Worst design of the mid SUVs. Interior is so cheap. The fewer buttons even on the steering wheel is simply because they have tried to make it the cheapest build. People should boycott the new x3
The only thing I want out of that car is the turbo b58 engine put in my 2010 x3, ugly grill, overly raked back, cheap interior, bad openers, cheesy disco lights, meh
i ve had e83, and now i have a f25. Definitely, i m not buying this shitt ever. Stylistically is kitsch, a lot unnecessary gadgets in the interior, all BMW cars of this generation are a flop to me with few expectations (x5, 6, and 8 series).
Just sat in this thing like 2 weeks ago and it’s sooooo super cheap from the inside. Terrific!
Ok

Just sent this to a friend that is negotiating for one right now. Top man Aziz. Thanks for the review.

Good Review from my Friend Aziz!!! As always funny but still very technical and professional, highlighting all the Pros/Cons.!! Keep up the good Work!

Only thing i like is that i has a3liter petrol and diesel engine available
100% the worst part is the venting panel the car i saw had the whole think broken
Cheapest one in Germany after a quick search costs 71 599€. That is insane.
Pre facelift was 🔥🔥🔥
This is pre facelift

all this screens in a car its f BS . phone -screen, work-screen, car -screen aaaa wtf
If you put it that way… kinda dystopic

It has 2 screens…

Whaaat? Best? Did you looked inside?

B58 in a X3 is such a nice combination

The fact that they axed the X3M because of this is baffling. But all the disappointment aside. I actually like it.
They what? X3M is on the way bro
Its most likely not if they put the Quad exhaust tips on this one. Same logic with X1/2 M35i
SOUTH AFRICA MENTIONED ❤❤❤❤
🇿🇦
the start of the g series were really good and a upgrade but now it feels like they gone the wrong road

Glowing grills are a trend which has to be stopped as fast as possible. Looks ridiculous

The best selling BMW because people have no imagination or interest in cars anymore.
Road tanks for as far as the eye can see.
Suppose at least this is a somewhat interesting one.
What they do have is low interest rates so people can lease them again and throw them away after 3 years
In all honesty this is pretty nice compared to the obnoxious bmw facelift designs
From the back it looks like minivan not SUV
I said the same thing to myself when I saw it in person. It has that flat butt...
fuel economy test woul be interesting to see with car brah
I doubt this car, once again.
They downgraded the inside way too much with the upper dashboard and door materials (AutoTopNl, Throttle House). The h/k sounds even worse than before (source: daily motor).

another win for BMW.
The new x3 looks fantastic
No, this is one of the less selling models. That's why BMW is trying so hard to promote this model via youtubers. Ugly and cheap looking.
i wanted to film the car myself, they did not promote this
12:50 the 3 series is the best selling BMW in history not X3.
@@lawrenceonline was the best selling, according to the latest document on the media press release it says, X3 is the best selling.
105k CHF . Fucking world man
Very ugly design, the interior is terrible one of the most ugliest cars of 2024
Taxi taxi!! Oh sorry i thought you were a taxi! My mistake! FFS that is disgusting!!

Audi boys 😂😂😂
That design is AWFUL,
E60, E46, E36 timeless, forever
Exterieur leider hässlich, ansonsten nicht schlecht
Not gonna like, I dont like it. I drive an X1..2012... I dont get the iconic glow,
F10
Nice car ❤
It’s not M50i, just M50
Yes. Worst design of the mid SUVs. Interior is so cheap.
The fewer buttons even on the steering wheel is simply because they have tried to make it the cheapest build.
People should boycott the new x3
Might be good but interior and that horrible exterior are sooo bad

Nice video bro, but that car is ugly.
Horrific car
