Another solid review Roman, straight Foward with no b/s! As a viewer of your channel since day 1, Mary& Jen are a solid addition to the TFL family as I told them yesterday, it’s so nice to have a different perspective from a another point of view. As the owner of TFL a great choice to bring them on. Happy holidays to the entire TFL Team. Evan, From Rockland county , NY.
Thanks for the kinds words. We really appreciate them!
Negatives
1. Sunroof that doesn't open
2. Speed warning chime
3. Log into your car so it knows who is driving.
4. Camera that watches everything inside the cabin. Microphones that listen?
5. Ugly styling inside and out.
6. Cheap looking materials.
7. No hard HVAC control buttons.
BMW missed the mark on their most popular selling vehicle.
Continued:
8. Rear comfort access gone
9. Rear seats don't recline anymore
10. Rear windows don't fully open
11. Door sill graphics gone
12. Light controls back to the stalk like the eighties?!
13. No carbon fiber trim or red seating available
14. H/K sound system inferior to previous gen according to DM Sounds
@@spoiler9112 Nice job! Thanks for the additions I missed. 14 reasons not to buy now.
im glad i bought the 2023 design X3.. loved that car
Get your 2023 & 2024 BMWs Now! I own a 2021 X5 with 30K for miles. I think I will keep it for 5 more years.
😎🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
I got the new X3 M50 in Vegas Red because it stood out from the old fart designs they used to make…plus it drives like a race car 🎉
I am not a fan of getting rid of buttons and knobs! I think all vehicles must have a button or knob for radios and HVAC. Those two are the ones I constantly adjust by feel as I'm driving down the road. A touch screen means that I would have to take my eyes off the road much longer than necessary to make the adjustments. I am also not a fan of having everything go through one display as that is a single point of failure that could render the vehicle inoperable. I also think that drive shifter buttons and knobs are dangerous.
10000% with you
Actually vehicles are starting to bring back HCAV controls
its cheaper to manufacture and assembly with one big slab screen
@@heytruthdohurts Sure, but it is not safe, and is a single point of failure. Some manufacturers are going back to the knobs and buttons.
@@billynonofyourbusiness3434 profit > customers
Making Subarus look good…😅
The evolution of the kidney grill is always a thing. Now that it has come back a little in prominence, I like it a little more than the beaver teeth. Hey Roman! Thanks dude for the clear vision of the channel and maintaining a good standard of quality!
Fun stuff as always
I like the kidney grill way more than the pig snout - what I don't like here is the headlights.
Thought I was looking at my neighbors Buick
haha , 🤣. yaa wait untill you step inside its a kia plastic interior. bmw lost its mind with this car, huge downgrade from the current model
LOL, it sure looks like it 👍
It’s ugly AF. BMW has lost their minds with these designs
Absolutely. Combine that with the behavior of BMW NA and their dealers who do little but skim off of the company, and I just don’t get how they sell them. We had 3 of them when they were good looking, but finally had enough with the dealer service even before we were out of warranty.
Unfortunately the head designer of bmw responsible for these new designs is moving on to Rolls Royce.
@ I don’t know why you think that’s unfortunate unless you a Rolls customer? Personally, I see a Rolls less times in a week than I see BMW’s per hour on the road.
I like it
The BMW is heading downhill from here!
What an ugly piece of junk. No way will this be their most sold model going forward. I guarantee you a total remake for 2026 X3
Nice review, Roman! Nice updates to the X3, but It's outside my budget. Happy Thanksgiving!
Remember when BMW was a luxury car company? Ugly design and no buttons - Hard Pass
Looks better than last gen. I’m in one rn. Beast of a car for a daily.
@@porschebmwchevy654under pinnings are mostly the same. They cut corners everywhere on the interior. If you looked at my 2019 you wouldn't even know it's the same company mine is just luxurious compared to this plastic piece of crap. The xDrive turbo with ZF 8 speed transmission is nothing new. There is nothing that an existing owner would want to upgrade to.
@@HiPlains1 cope harder.
Every automakers trying to follow Tesla and getting rid of physical buttons. Tesla do it for profit margin, not because it’s more convenient.
Absolutely hideous.. What the heck happened with BMW design. That's not even including the Enterprise rental interior..
This new design is absolutely beautiful to me. It's beefier than the old one, which looked like a shy little mouse. To all the whiners below, I'm sure you haven't seen a real one on the road yet. How many times in the last 10-15 years have I heard that BMW has "lost it": the 2019 X5, the X7, the 2020 X6, the iX. With this one, it's the same story all over again. The contingent of inveterate doomsayers.
Yeah it looks really nice on the outside but this is a huge massive downgrade compared to my 2019 loaded X3 on the interior. It's just not the use of plastics on everything but they also deleted a lot of features on the interior too many to list but others have already mentioned it above. This is a huge downgrade to my loaded X3 2019.
Pros: exterior design. Cons: weird grill (on the non M pack), cheap looking interior (maybe it feels nice in real life), price
no it doesnt look nice in the interior. i test drove both the 30 and the m50 model trying to trade my 22x3 . its a hugeeeee downgrade. you will be shocked how plasticy the interior quality is. bmw lost its mind , kia and mazdas have better interior these days. its a bucket of plastic inside. so sad no one buys genesis gv70 thats how a luxury car interior should be .. other than the screen everything is plastic. may be i will get the new q5 when it launches.. this one is a insult to loyal customers which they dont care anymore
@@karthikJ-99I know my 2019 is so luxurious compared to this I have soft touch materials on everything. Plus they removed really nice features all over the place. This is just crazy how much they cut corners on the interior. You're correct no existing BMW owner would waste money on this.
Roman that was backup assistant where the car remember last 150 meters and can go back for you for tight parking spaces . You have to press start backup assistant and take hands off the wheel and foot off brake and let the car do its thing
Love the new design. BMW has a smash it here.
How long have you worked for bmw?
@Big.W. Not working for BMW and drive a GLC. Take your medication.
@@johanlandman4097. Are you a salesman at a bmw dealership? You’re the only one that likes this design
@Big.W. So many on the road
@@johanlandman4097 where? Literally none around here and I live near a bmw dealership
The SMART Brands are bringing some of the buttons and knobs back again. Like you said, it works great when your just sitting in a parking lot. I like many wouldn't buy a car for this reason alone, no matter how good everything else might be.
Solid review but of a surprisingly unattractive car for way too much money. I get why some people like the basic SUVs but I can't fathom how poor the designs have gotten and how much people are willing to pay for something that loses value so fast.
13:46 my man is notorious for reading something on a vehicle and then saying the wrong word repeatedly 😂
Maybe the design is an attempt to stop people from keying BMW's
You mentioned it was taller but I don’t think that is correct. I believe it is about one inch lower in height.
Looks just like the buick
It is a Buick manufactured by BMW.
I think it looks cool. I'm not too high about the las Vegas strip light show inside. To get one that's loaded it's going to cost 60k. You can get a Lexus GX550 for the same price!
Even the loaded one has cheap plastic interior. You will likely have to move up to X5 or X7 to get back that luxury interior. Facts.
no cap i might get this car in january or 2024 model
X3 or Model Y?
Beautiful Buick!
I would never trade my 2019 X3 for this Nissan.
Picked up an 05 X3 back in 2008. I actually went to get a 545i back then but it was having issues so I switched to the X3. It was an ok vehicle, didn’t do anything great but wasn’t bad for a daily. Would I ever buy another? Absolutely not, for the price there are much better options out now.
Roman, what happened to BMW? It used to be a luxury/sport brand that was the benchmark, now it just looks plasticy and cheap. Great review as always from the TFL team! Cheers Kirk
Lmfao looks like a buick
Reliability over 8 years is key to their success.
It always surprises me how BMW is able to refresh the same shape but mandges to make it look nicer then the previous model............
That is the most vanilla BMW ever. Ugh
At least the grill isn’t hideous like all the other ones
Man why do they always want to get rid of buttons? It’s like Big Capacitive has influence on the car designers
Heaven preserve us... The new design language is ugly
I love it!!
Great review Roman! So sad to see where BMW has taken the x3. This looks worse than the 2020 x3 I had in ever way. Was really hoping they had improved so I could go back to the brand.
Or you can go back to the brand but you're going to have to go up to an X5 or X7 to get what you had.
They let these designers run amok. They need a consensus on these designs before finalizing them. Let the public sway the design choices by offering a few drafts. We're more than a decade into bad design at this point. Can't believe this is the same company that made the e92 M3.
I think more than anything the bean counters have a lot more say on this and cutting all the corners.
It’s really nice but BMW needs to vastly improve their leases if they want to sell more cars. This will probably be seven to eight hundred a month on a lease payment. Crazy. I think people are over that.
AEGIS is nice to have
Well I hope that they don't make the new generations worse than the prior, so it should be "the best one yet".
Roman when are you getting the 4Runner and the idbuzz?
They forgot to replace the throttle and brake pedals with haptic touchscreens.
Who comes up with these new designs? I would fire these design engineers in a flash.
I never open my sun roof anyway
I miss the stick enclave doesn't have one either 😢
Look up pictures of a capybara. You'll see the strong resemblance!
Pretty large punch buggy you got there
I think the exterior is decent….not a big fan of the 90 degree rectangle double screen dash.
I don't want to call it ugly because back when Bangle designed cars for BMW, nobody liked them either. But these are the most un-chiseled, plain, box-looking, boring, stamped out cars they've ever produced. At least they make good engines.
After owning 3 X3s I got the perfect excuse to move over to the X5.
The style is weird, too much raw plastic, no buttons, lost some nice features. I don’t understand what were they thinking.
Change the outside design asap and remove all the cheap materials from the inside. BMW has lost its way. I have a 2015 5 series and it’s built like a tank and looks and runs great!
may be i missed if you said that. but the elepant in the room, how cheap the interior is compared to the current model . you guys review a lot of cars might not notice it but sadly lots of features removed and interior is kia grade with plastics everywhere
I am lucky enough to be sick in France where I am driven to all rdv's FOC in a Taxi, a 2024 white BMW 3 series 2 litre bi Turbo sedan which can really move, this version is an SUV? Sorry 'mine' is better looking, in particular the dash layout and grille but the ride is a bit firm.
Touch vent controls ? wtf manufacturers just want to dumb consumers down with more chit , electric chit that will break down. Look I’m on my 4 bmw in 15 years they were nice cars but when my lease is up , and that’s the only way u should a bmw I’m done with the brand ugly design too much intrusive technology it’s not the ultimate driving machine anymore it’s the ultimate annoying technology driven machine no driver input
I wouldn't pay 55k for this but in 3 years you will be able to get a cpo one off a lease return for 30k.
You’re correct Sir…. The $32K area makes a much better buy with 26K miles. 😎🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Kia has similar interior under $35 k 😑
A Kia is not a BMW,just wanna clear that up for you.
Absolutely hideous!
So "I" stands for electric?
Oh Gawd! Look at the nose on that thing! 😂
There is no air suspension option. We just picked up an M50 for my wife. It drives awesome. But, a lot of their wheel choices are ugly and the interior does feel cheap. Capacitive touch button suck. And they hide the air vents and then give you wacky little controllers. Just use a regular air vent, much simpler and easier to clean. We bought it because of the engine/trans and size. Almost got the Volvo Xc60 recharge, but that one is getting old in design.
The best-selling BMW is the 4th generation X3? Isn't it new-new?
Much rather buy an Acura RDX. More room, more power. Better reliability. And did I forget? Has buttons and knobs…
The grille is okay, but it looks angry up front. Not a fan.
BMW sales are down 33% in q3 2024. This x3 is a disaster.
I love the new design. It will be a smash hit for BMW.
Kinda looks like the new Volvo 3 row
This thing is just awful all around. Who would have thought that Hyundais would be better than BMWs at this point?
A Hyundai might be better than a kia but that's about it.
Without wanting to sound like EV hater…BMW took all the EV elements (design, tech, haptic controls, screens) and brought it to non-EV car. That is 100% what people who want non-EV so not want
The reason they did that was just to save money it's a cost-cutting thing the bean counters had more saying in interior design. I guarantee you the engineers pushed back on that but corporate it's all about the bottom line now. This thing is built for fat margins and low quality.
I see what BMW is trying to do with their grills, not kidding! They are trying to reinvent their brand cachet by making their logo seem sculpted and luxurious instead of sporty when walking closely by the front end. But all they're going to do is alienate anybody that cares more about not driving something that looks like an aardvark!
I don’t know, but other than the infotainment screen, it seems very cheap to me. There’s a lot of hard plastics inside.
This is very true as I have a 2019 which has very nice leather seats and soft touch materials on everything top of doors entire dash with buttons for everything. Panoramic roof with sunroof reclining back seats the list goes on and on the things they deleted and the materials they chose is mostly hard plastic material. This is a massive downgrade for me
Test drove one this weekend, drives nice but they sure did uglify it
bmw suffer from identity crisis, very sad switching to Porsche Was loyal to a brand since 90s
It looks cheap, like a basic budget car. $50,000 Wow, I was thinking base $39,000.
I have owned a first generation X5 and second and third gen X3. This forth gen X3 lost me, styling is awful. Somehow they made it look cheap.
Make Diesel Great Again
Woof
My loaded 2019 looks so luxurious compared to this plastic piece of junk. The exterior is not bad but they cut corners all over the place on the interior. The center stack with all its functions on touch screen and instrument cluster is ugly. I mean really ugly. Mine has upgraded leather seats power seats both sides panoramic with open sunroof. Soft touch materials everywhere dash even top of doors. I've even seen 60,000 dollar X3 and it looks just plain Jane is this. What a massive waste of money this is. Of course the reason they cut corners this badly was to keep the price point at 50,000 which is a lot but it could have been a lot more considering the cost of labor and parts and everything have gone up so much. So it will still sell because I think the price point will we still be manageable.
Think it took a big step back styling wise. Who’s head of BMW design right now? They should be fired. They keep making the grille’s uglier and uglier, and I think that blue interior trim is tacky. I was considering an x3 but actually went with an x1 m35i because I think that’s one of the last good looking BMW SUV’s, and not much smaller than the X3. Also wayy too many haptic controls. Almost no real buttons…
BMW is so lost. Angry Pigs face. Eliminating buttons inside for horrible capacitive controls. Glossy screens that are hard to see on sunny days. It's interesting that they brought back old-school '80s American exterior door handles.
Its kinda bland in-person, ngl. Interior does not seem as luxurious as a Benz or Volvo. A very plastic luxury car.
The interior looks so plain
Hideous. Get you a 2024 while you can.
Ugliest BMW yet. But good review :)
Its so ugly . Outside and inside. So people havto take your eyes off the road to do anything in the car. Getting ride of all buttons and knobs and real shifters is for one reason and one reason only. To cut costs
WTF is that? Hahaha Chinese knockoff of the good days.
I think you chose a most unattractive color plus no sports packaging, negative marketing
This new boxy bimmer X3 looks like poop💩
BMW 😷😷😷🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣😡😡😡
Does it come with a car cover so you can hide this hideous beast when in public? Good lord who signed off on this cheap piece of junk?
Look cheap design.
🤮BMW. Yuk
Ugly...
💩💩💩
not a fan of that odd steering wheel.. maybe you get adjusted to it. Not a fan of this redesign, I like the previous X3 better.
BMW design is the worst in the automotive industry right now. Terrible.
