My 2020 BMW X3M
Donnington Gray over Tartufo
Mods:
265/40 R21 and 295/35 R21 Falken FK460 on stock comp wheels.
Excited to hear what you guys think!
Kinda hate this as an audi fan cause the m2s are growing on me heavy
Excellent choice! As the owner of a B9 SQ, I would come over to the dark side before buying another one. I don't dislike the car, but agree that BMW just does it better. Sadly....
Hey man I was looking at a 2014 allroad with 100k miles for less than 10k I was wondering since you owned one with high miles do you recommend
I found you when I had my B8.5 SQ5 and followed your builds since. I debated on upgrading to a B9 SQ5 but ended up going with the X3M. Just way more vehicle
IMO. Been a year now and love it. I cant wait to follow your build.
First (I’m not)
I didn’t like the HUD on my X3, but it has grown on me. I miss it when I drive my Tahoe.
Oh and the navigation on the HUD is super nice
It’s a cool to try a new platform. Life is too short to argue about silly things. Enjoy the new wheels!
I respect the BMWs as they can be extremely fast but not a fan of them. I hope you enjoy and love it. I'll still watch the content on the BMW tho😁
Great choice! S58 is a monster
Dope this was one of my choices vs f90 ,(g30 m550,2020) went with the m550 1.5 years later i am not mad at all enjoy it bro
Smart purchase! Very reliable all year around super fast and very fun all in one
Congrats, you got the same color and spec even tires. Get the Isweep brake pads and you won't regret it. Definitely Kw V3 coilovers with module is best setup
Make sure you update your tire settings with your new tires
What do you mean?
Hell yeah excited for this build!
I bought the x3m thinking i'd make it the ultimate daily driver but fast forward a year later and it's sitting in my garage getting a true princess treatment - KW coilovers, FC 12MM spacers, and RK intakes. I ended up DDing my A90 before selling it and buying a cheap pickup to cart around town lol. Enjoy the ride!
I shopped the x3 m40i against a b9 sq5 but ended up going with a 2019 Q7 due to space, but if it weren't for space i would've gone x3 over sq5. love the look of these
I'm not an Audi OR a Bim Guy as you know, but dang this thing is cool! Love the color combo and these things absolutely rip! Congrats! edit* AND YES STUDS!!! It only takes one time of taking wheels off and on to make them worthwhile
Did the stud conversion to the s6 and it was great. No complaints for doing the swap.. I bought the raceline kit from USP.
Also you’re in a different situation because you have the rare spare tire so you’re not on run flats. The X3m’s on run flats are terrible vs ours.
I cant believe your kid is 5! time flies!
I loved converting my B5 S4 to studs 👍
GL with that car, just got rid of mine ABSOLUTE beast.
10.2 1/4 at 136ish 60-130 6.5
No way. Just got back from 2 months no phone. Gotta catch up on the car updates. Can’t wait to see this build progress.
Nice family car, can’t wait to see what’s in store. With so many mods having to be coded in it will be interesting to see what and how you do things to it. ✌️
Interior goes crazy. Nice spec
awesome buy man. coworker picked one up a few months back and i love seeing his x3mc parked beside my b8.5 sq5. I can't wait to see how you mod and change this one up.
CraY part is I know the exact dealership you talking about and was looking at the very same x3 M but due to their reputation I passed. I'm still looking for my X3M Comp...congrats on your new ride. Please let me know how it is as I'm in the market as well.
Congrats on the car! As a current C7 A6 owner, I keep debating whether I want to get a B9 S5 or a G20 M340i. The B58 engine is wonderful and sounds great, but the S5 sportback wins in the looks categories and the interior IMO. I'll probably decide in the next 6 years when the prices depreciate as those M340i's are holding their value very well.
It's a good way of getting into the S58 and seeing what all the fuss is about and let's be honest we are older now... want to see what balance of practicality plus still be a car enthusiast. I've got an SQ7 which is awesome but looking forward to the videos. What's the deal with the All seasons these days? Just planning to run them all year round? I've just put vredestein quadtrac pros on the SQ7 can't be bothered switching and the snow in scotland isn't what it used to be... got that 3 peak mountain snow flake and more importantly the Y speed rating 🎉
on the flip side, i love old bmws so great choice
that paint/interior spec is dope. way better than the white one!
Just came back to say that I watched this video last week and today I dropped off my RS5 in the shop for a scratched bumper and they gave me a 3-series as a courtesy car. I was cursing the start-stop until I remembered your video and looked for it behind the steering wheel :)))
I also switch from 2 Audis to BMW. Loving it so far
Wife has an X7m50 and I would agree all around better than my B9 SQ5. I think I’ll be following you lead on an X3m next
Excited to see the content to come from this!
I’m not a huge fan of brown interior but congrats on the new car. Looking forward to the upgrades.
Congrats Eli! The X3M looks great!
sick car, congrats. as a fellow grey over brown interior bmw guy, i approve
finally a real car! s58 is a MONSTER
Congratulations, as a audi guy, let the snow come
Love the x3m daily mine feel much more confident driving this versus the M2C also got my x3m used so yea… 😂 full send or no send 💯
I changed from the 21 to 20 squared on 275/40..mine is a 2020 but it’s a Comp.. mine is white and with the other mods it’s a little over 700 HP
hell yeah so happy to see this...hoping to join the bmw club soon myself
This aged well haha
@@IgnitionTube i really didnt expect it to happen that fast lol
Can’t wait to Leatherique those seats!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah 👍🏼
You need to swap the diff bolt on that thing asap. I wouldn't do any tuning until you've looked at it. There are some guys selling bushings or reinforced bolts nowadays I'd look into it you plan to tune. The diff bolt is the single biggest fail point for tuned x3m's
I swapped it before this video posted :) will be in next week’s video
Should have driven it with the stock tires. Wasn’t a fan but with the tire upgrade you did, it drives much better. 👌🏾 Stud kit is always a must btw.
Spacers and res delete since it sounds like OEM when valves are closed
Congratulations on the X3M! I suggest you do this to your Sound System:
For the HK Settings
Bass + 5
Treble + 5
100 Hz + 5
200 Hz + 4
500 Hz - 1
1 Hz - 1
2 Hz - 1
5 Hz + 4
10 Hz + 5
Logic 7 Surround On
Surround on Max
Is this a result of your experimenting? I’ll have to give it a try!
@@IgnitionTube Haha, I experimented on my G12 740i I used to have and these Settings are how the HK System should’ve came with from the Factory. I hope you enjoy them! I’ve posted them in Bimmerpost also and Other people with Harman Kardon Enjoy the Settings I’ve provided and I hope you do too!
Excellent.gif 🎉
I think it’s awesome!!!!!!
Hate to see you go, but I respect you as a TH-camr so you’ll have my continued support, just at least keep one Audi please!
I will don’t worry!!
Nice man congratulations on your ride! Ive been looking to get one as well. Want to pay the wifes suv off first before I purchase one. For the performance of the car and the price theyre amazing.
Is it weird that before I saw the orange trex I knew you were on rt1 lmao
Nice pick up dude. I was expecting the x3m40i not an x3m. Done a few rolls against these things and they rip with basic mods!
Haha had to go for the top dog
I'd be interested to know more or see a video regarding long term reliability and running costs. I've still got my C7.5 S6 that I got around the time you initially had yours. I'm probably keeping it forever, but it's now far from stock and absolutely chewing through consumables. This looks like a great option for a daily.
I will keep you updated!!
Coming from a BMW service advisor. These things chew up tires. Like less than 8k miles on a full set. Rear tends to wear much quicker than fronts FYI. Good luck and sick M!
Stay tuned in, I’m sure we’ll need more of your advice down the road!!
Super cool. I was actually in a parking garage today and I was staring at one, I said damn even the interior is nice so it’s funny that you picked one up. I drove the X3M competition when it first came out and I did think the ride was a bit harsh trying to be too much like a sports car but maybe the non-competition is where it’s at. Overall, we went with the Macon turbo, and I’ve been happy with that choice. But I have to say these still do look very appealing. Did you ever think about going Porsche? I feel like you’ve said this before but you hate Porsche or something like that is that true?
Oh actually, just found out. I’m a weenie 😝
Haha yeah no Porsche for me
Update us on how's the gas mileage since this would be the family car.
High teens haha. We drove 100 highway miles yesterday and got 19mpg
A pre and post tune draggy time
is all that’s required; haha.
I’m on the hunt for the facelift of the x3mC (can’t forget the C) lol but my exterior color choices are marina bay blue, Brooklyn grey, Toronto red all with black interior can’t have the sakhir orange I can’t stand it but my favorite color is the marina bay blue I went to see one and fell in love with it hopefully the right one comes up for sale soon. Congrats on your purchase man enjoy it
Good spec glad u didnt go with the white on white. 🔥
Love this move. I moved to the dark side in 2019. Haven’t looked back honestly. Can’t wait for content.
no comp pack = better ride! would love to hear your thoughts on this vs comp. I have personally taken a comp on multiple road trips and man is it stiff! This is coming from someone who daily drives an e36 m3 on coilovers
Congrats on the new ride @Ignitiontube pretty color and beautiful interior.
Yoooo FIRST, that’s crazy 😎
Congrats! Agree with all your points, Eli! I am also a VW/Audi guy and have been seriously researching and considering an x3m40i or x3M for a while. Looking forward to seeing future content and hearing your experience with the x3M.
Finally in a BMW! Will you get a project car alongside this? Can see you building a 997 project!
No Porsche for me haha
sick.
Hopefully Audi comes out with some new stuff that excites me. I switched over 4 or 5 years ago after growing up as a VWAG fanboy.
Awesome SUV! Based on the video though it doesn’t really seem like you like it. I’d be the same, have owned Audis/VW’s for too long. I love bmws but don’t think I could ever own one
It’s a shame Audi is driving customers to beamers. Audi fan here looking for a 335d
I owned a 2021 x3m, miss that car. What hurts the most is I went electric after 🤮
Dope spec. Still wish you had the m5 tho lol
Single turbo, port injection, air to air ic. Chop chop get to work!
Lol and then blow it up 6 time?
You should wrap it 3M storm gray😏
LOL
the tires are worn like that on the back because they were overinflated.
GLC 63 is better but this is still better than the SQ5!
GLC is low key kinda ugly haha
@@IgnitionTube nahhh find a GLC63 to review / compare to the X3M. Could make for a fun video. You might be surprised
What about compared to when you had the c7.5 S6, I got my S6 almost 2 years ago with 14k miles, at 26.5k now, no real complaints being DS1 stage 2 pretty much the whole time of ownership, was looking at a X3M/X4M when I was shopping around though
They’re completely different cars and I think (as of right now) I liked the S6 better
Finally!!! Best BMW to transition to. Looking forward to some variety!!!
Nice car Eli!
Nice place holder until the next gen SQ5 releases. Lol
The next gen SQ is already out and I already posted a video last week talking about how much I dislike it
When are you selling the allroad?
Whenever you’re ready to buy it
I love my Durango!!! What about the Acura MDX A-Spec? That was my other choice but the V8 in the Dodge is what won me!
congratulations on the new car, man!
this platform has insane potential, and just make sure to do the preventative maintenance before dropping in power upgrades.
everything aside, i’m loving the fact that you now have a moustache with your beard.
😂🥂
I’ve had one for almost a year now, where ya been!
Would love to hear better audio quality
Yeah the GoPro audio was wack, sorry about that. Will use external mic going forward
Congrats. Definitely wheels and lower it. And maybe a stage 1 tune. Keep as a simple/fast family car
I’m an Audi guy too but love this spec man!! Great choice
How do you decide how many miles is okay? 77xxx miles on a 2020 is more than 10k a year and Ive always tried to stay at or below 10k a year. Are newer cars better at that higher mileage per year?
Does anybody drive less than 10k a year? Lol. I do like 15-20 a year in my car.
@@IgnitionTube I guess work from home folks. It was just always my rule of thumb when looking for a car growing up. Is there a line you draw for yearly miles? or are there other things that you take into consideration when it comes to higher mileage on cars? like documented service history or anything like that?
You would get an SQ7 before a Durango hellcat let’s be real now
Nice car, congratulations…but it‘s still a BMW! 😅 😉
Bruh bmw no 🤦🏽😝 nice grab man still think the avant is the best!
SUBBBEEEED
I was hoping for a macan gts
that steering wheel looks bigger than you... xD
Damnnnn.... IM EARLY!
Welcome to the dark side
congrats welcome to BMW AGAIN!!!
Welcome to the dark side 🫡
Didn’t these cars have bad engines?
Nope
I give it a year
You can say that for any car I own lol
@@IgnitionTube lol exactly why I said it. I’ll still watch the videos 🍻
Welcome to BMW, who tf are lug nuts
I love my Audi but x3 m40 is calling meeeeeee
Just bring back wagons over these stupid SUVs everywhere.
