    The 8 speed ZF transmission is not a DCT but a torque converter, but it’s one of the best in the business.

    Love my 2019 X3 M40i. Got it last summer. Since then I made many mods to it so it looks more aggressive, and sounds more aggressive. It's fast stock, but I have Stage 2 tune and Stage 3 transmission tune, and catless downpipe so I'm pushing about 500 hp... This thing is insanely fast and surprises people on the road with the power and sounds.

I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a 2020 M40i at my local dealer with the Premium package as well as the M diff. Test drove it and it drove amazing! It has a clean history, regularly maintained at a BMW dealership by the previous owner. The caveat so to speak is that it has 95k miles on it. Seems to be all highway based on the car’s shape.

    • @ZachEgbert
      @ZachEgbert  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The 4.4 is the official time from BMW, but in all the owner groups I’m part of, A LOT of them were getting faster or even some got under 4 seconds stock. Car companies lie about their 0-60 numbers often so they don’t take away from their higher end cars. Because if the M40i is so fast and good, what’s the point of buying an X3M? So they be conservative in advertising, but real world practice they’re faster than advertised.

    Now would you say in the long run it can last another 5-6 years? Because I’ve been wanting to get a used 2019-2021, and I’ve been doing some research and looks like hopefully and finally some newer bmw models have been shown with great reliability ratings and the bmw x3 is the sweet spot for me. Especially the m40i, way better gas mileage and sounds just as good as the M comp. But would you say it would be worth it for longer commutes, because just in one day for me going to work and coming back home from work is 70-75 miles 😢 😂

    • @ZachEgbert
      @ZachEgbert  ปีที่แล้ว

      My car has been nothing but reliable so far. I just crossed over 120k miles and still 0 issues. And 30k of those miles have been with a stage 1 tube and a catless downpipe and still not one hiccup with the car. BMW definitely killed it here and I don’t think you would have anything to worry about. The only thing I’d say to get is a warranty / protection for the windshield. I get a lot of chips and breaks because I drive so much and each windshield replacement is $1800 😅 but luckily I have coverage for that.
