I love using the physical buttons of the climate control. Having them in the screen especially while driving would be hard for me to use. I would love to see fog lights come back on cars as that is what makes SUV's look good imo. I like how you explain each button of the car as it helps me to understand what each button does. I don't know if it is just me, but I don't like rain sensing vipers and liked the classic default time/speed settings of the vipers.
Great video and summary. Just bought an X3 and your video showed me a few things I didn't know. The interior color, I believe, is pronounced like the drink,
Happy as a clam I got the 2024, last year of this gen. The G01 is absolutely perfected at this stage and the G45 will take years to reach the same level of polish.
That’s my exact car 2024 Msport shadowline premium package Alpine white blacked out grill blacked out 20 inch Msport rims and red seats I get so many compliments I love it !!
When we bought our VW touareg V8 back in 06, it was $54,899. Now, if we spend that much, I'd expect it to have ventilated seats. I keep the touareg because it's a winter beast. But it's starting to show its age, so it might be time for it to go soon.
Yes, to physical climate control buttons. I can imagine it would be distracting to scroll through for settings. Excellent video explaining the features. This MSport package makes it like a beast. Thank you
Comprehensive video. Nice job. BUT - “COG NAC”? It’s KOH-NYAK, like the brandy. Like the French town. The interior color is called that because it’s similar to the color of cognac.
I got the $400 black grill in front to compliment the shadow line and M Sport package on my White model. That black grill should be part of one of those packages in my opinion. Why it’s not is inexplainable except for it’s more money! This is a beautiful car in the white exterior with all the black contrasting trim. It drives great for an SUV. Handles nice and is somewhat nimble with the lighter 4 cylinder carvings corners. The M40i is sportier with a larger more powerful 6 cylinder. However I recommended saving money and netting this model. It’s quick enough and has sufficient power for passing on the highway. Simply put this is a great driving luxury vehicle. It’s really fun to drive and feels safe and comfortable for longer trips. MSRP is about $60k with several option packages which make it complete. I have one in Mineral White which is a beautiful color has a cream colored metallic finish.
I don’t understand why you have to pay extra for the grille either. Kind of a cash grab. Welcome to German cars.. Lol. But yes, this is prime bmw with the physical controls and the screen. I hope they don’t ruin it with the upcoming refresh. My hopes are low.. lol
I hate the new all touch screen where you have to manage practically everything by touch. It’s like operating a smart phone while driving. At least for me it is. It’s very unsafe if you as me. I’m glad I had a newer x1 as a loaner for a bit before picking up my x1 I was going to purchase. While driving the loaner I realised how much I hated the new layout. I went back and stopped the sale of the new x1 and decided to get a new x3.

@@703Speed hey, not trying to be the pronunciation police - I think it’s just one of those words you typically don’t see spelled out that many of us, including myself, might mispronounce. Your reviews are more fast fact filled than just about anyone and getting better all the time so if a only a small flub gets in there now and again don’t sweat it, you obviously know enough about the subject matter. You are doing great, keep it up!
Julius, you are knowledgeable, but let me make a couple suggestions for your future presentations. First of all, SLOW DOWN when you speak. Second, you keep repeating basically a zillion times. AVOID using and REPEATING that word. Remember that not everyone who is listening to your video is 20 something.
Just bought a 2024 BMW X3 and one of the reasons I like it, is the physical buttons and of course the BMW DNA.

Great review! I agree with having the external climate controls. We want easy access since we need to keep our eyes on the road. Great job!
Great review and POV! 😎
It looks like a 2021 BMW X3, which I own and is perfectly fine.

I agree..
Thanks man. Super helpful review of the X3!
My wife will get hers in a few weeks...white with the blackline shadow pkg...also we went with the 20 in black rims and red interior. Looks so good.
Got a 2022 just like that i love it so much i wanna get another one for the fam
That’s my exact car 2024 Msport shadowline premium package Alpine white blacked out grill blacked out 20 inch Msport rims and red seats I get so many compliments I love it !!
got 2024 xdrive30i and very happy with it, specially design.
Great video.......we just ordered a 2025 X4 xDrive 30i. Happy that it still has the hard buttons. Companion to our 2025 Mini JCW Convertible.

I had a 2008 V8 Touareg and loved it. I traded it for a 2012 Touareg Hybrid, which I REALLY loved. I recently sold it when I bought an X5 M60i.
The M60 is a beast! How do you like it so far?@@777triathlete
What would you replace it with?
@@703Speed I've been looking for a newer, diesel touareg. Not the V10 diesel, but a clean 2nd gen or even newer touareg.
They hard to find?@@infidel24
Does ECO PRO actually work? Do u have to fill up often using that mode? Will I be okay regarding maintenance if I keep the car for 5 years
Yes, to physical climate control buttons. I can imagine it would be distracting to scroll through for settings. Excellent video explaining the features. This MSport package makes it like a beast. Thank you
Thanks for the detailed review
Yes, keep the physical climate controls! Great video!
Just got yesterday and I am VERY happy! Going from the Mercedes GLC 300 and was worried this would be a step down, but it is much nicer, IMHO.
Dude did you just come out of Claude Moore Park and turn right on Cascade's Parkway for this awesome bmw video?
Amazing review bro.
Comprehensive video. Nice job. BUT - “COG NAC”? It’s KOH-NYAK, like the brandy. Like the French town. The interior color is called that because it’s similar to the color of cognac.
Great Video . Trying to decide between X3 and X5, going to drive both. Price difference is about $17,000 speced out how i loke.
I need to replace my front logo is it easy to take off and install?
Good review!
Subbed 👍
Thank you :)
Mate, Cognac - like the drink. My god. 😅
Not Cog Nack? Lol.. that was awesome. : )

I agree this is best layout with physical controls and the screen. A dual system is best.

great material - great job.
Just bought this car - I love it. I cannot STAND the look of that cognac interior though - blech! :). New sub for you. Thanks!
Hi I Am A New Subscriber Next Time Can You Make The 2024 BMW X6

Thank you! Yes I can

AGREE!! Physical buttons ALWAYS!!
does anyone have extended warranty if so who?
getting mine tommorow
Keep the buttons, BMW!
Have you driven the 2022 or 23 230i coupe. Even in base trim it’s an amazing car for about $40k
I have a buddy who wants me to do a video with his new 2024 M2 coupe is that says anything lol
10:40 are you sure 0-60 is a 6s?
I have an M40i X3 it is a fun fast SUV.
The M40 is no joke
We’re trying to decide between this X3, and the MB GLC 300. Which would you get?
Do you like ease of use when it comes to the controls on the interior? Or do you prefer controlling most things throughout an infotainment screen?

The M40i costs more, like about $10k or higher. It’s hard to spending more because this one is so great!
Good job
How is the ride suspension compared to the x5 M60i??
This one is a bit more firm
No puddle lights in this car super annoying and no way to install them it appears
Cognac = “cone-yak”
Thank you for that

I agree with your comments
I got mine be two weeks ago
1 day, I buy a new 2024 BMW X3 Xdrive30i.
I'm buying it today 🎉
All these cars without physical buttons, start to look like the Tesla.
Absolutely physical climate control buttons…physical gear shift stick….NON-split tailgate…those 3 things (sadly) have me considering X3 instead of X5
If you buy BMW, the only choice is in line 6 engine. Greetings
BMW makes a great I6

Yeah it’s a drink dude.

Overpriced for what it offers.
Just because you can’t afford it doesn’t mean it’s overpriced lol.
