I'm absolutely not an SUV person in the slightest, but I keep looking at these. Especially because they're so much cheaper than M3/M4 with the S58. Plus the sleeper aspect of it really gets me. I'd be debadging the entire car.
Haha great comment. I went thru the same thing, and now i have a debadged x3m in the garage :). People get gapped daily. Only real diff is the extra 500 pounds, which means weaker low-end compared to an m3. You feel the lag more from the S58 (unless you tune like in the vid) in this config. Turns into a rocketship at 3k+. I love it. I'd get the M3/4 if I were a single man tho, hands down xD. Will be adding an m3 cs to the fleet one day for sure :).
@@wat2875 I know for me it'd be a huge upgrade. Currently have a bone stock 5th gen SS and my wife has a bone stock 15 R/T Challenger so I know this thing would feel insane even in stock form lol.
Amazing car, have the same, when my warranty is done I'm getting a stage 1 tune. I swear I drove and wanted a 911 4s but it's too small and stupid expensive, this car is 2/3rd cheaper and I'm more more than pleased with it and you can smoke almost any car with a washing machine in the back, have fun, I'm so happy and privileged and appreciative to have this car,.
I just flashed my 2019 X3 M40i with MHD Stage 1 and WOW! I can only imagine how much difference your X3M gained with twin turbos :D You will want to replace the spark plugs and get cold air intakes if you don't already have them. Once I did that, I really noticed the improved performance and throttle response.
EPICNESS! I'm seriously considering getting a 2021 X3 M competition and putting a tune on....hence why I'm here. I'll look into MHD stage 1, thanks for sharing! 😎👊
Awesome....I have a 2021 and I run a JB4 with it......I wanted a quick fix and didn't want to wait to get it unlocked. Probbaly run a MHD BEF when they are available. Also came from a 335i.
Try the VVT stage 3 turbos for about the same cost( if you know how to install and tune yourself). 850 HP for 2200 bucks will give you 8s at sea level on gas pump. What other manufacturer can offer that?
Just got my hands on an OBD Flash Ready 2020 BMW X3M Non MC like yours but toronto red metallic exterior and sakhir orange interior, Very tasteful mods you've done such as gloss back accents, grill and emblems! A Question for you, what made you pick MHD over BM3. I am leaning heavily toward MHD Myself especially seeing they make the most power from any tuner with an OTS Map. 30 Hp more than BM3 Stage 1. Also Have you attempted to run E40 Blend runs with stage 1?
I picked MHD because of my previous history with MHD, had a 335 tuned via MHD over 80K miles with no issues... also I think their OTS maps are better than BM3 like you mention plus it is cheaper. The only reason to prefer BM3 is if there is a specific tuner you are hoping to get a custom tune through that uses BM3.
Love the vids, Im in the process of buying a used x3m but trying to figure out the tuning process, i guess worst case I just use JB4 but does bm3 or mhd let you know if the dme needs to be unlocked or anything? Im scared of running those and then it bricks the car
BMW refused to extend the warranty on my X3M comp when they found it was tuned. If you're under warranty now, they could use a tune as an excuse to deny claims on drivetrain issues. Should not affect claims on items unrelated to the engine or transmission.
The computer inside was saying over 600hp? Then the car was already tuned when you got it. The gauges don’t go that high on the stock X3M. Just an FYI.
@@jasonclay170 dang was hoping that wasn't the case...can't do it, just can't do it. I already find my x3m40i to be annoying rough with the 21 inch wheels.

Congratulations boss great choice, cant wait to see future mods to the car
I was disappointed at the video about selling your F but this is sick!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is definitely a true m car!!
glad for you brother, congrats and enjoy
Tuning it before driving off at the dealership is nuts lmao
Congratulations!!!

nice, you’re the 4th person I know now that went 335 to X3M haha
Beautiful man
Thank you!

Nice car man
What do you do for a living bro?
Congratulations on the new whip 🔥

7:00 definitely gotta learn launch control
You need the Femto ecu unlock for this tune correct?
Let’s gooooooooo

Besides the turbo lag it flys
noticed that as well. Wondering if catless downpipes will let them spool up a bit faster
@@straight6kris dude 100% man, but yo that just goes for every single turbocharged/procharged engine, less restrictions = more performance in a way.
About to get one that's stock, what all should I start with performance wise so that I can still keep the longevity
Love the vids, Im in the process of buying a used x3m but trying to figure out the tuning process, i guess worst case I just use JB4 but does bm3 or mhd let you know if the dme needs to be unlocked or anything? Im scared of running those and then it bricks the car
Yes MHD you can download and check for free if the DME is locked
Those are flywheel numbers that’s putting down no more than 580AWHP
so sweet
Is this detectable by the dealer?
How much you pay for the tune and were did you buy it?😊
MHD Tuning and I think $400
Was your dme unlocked when you flashed mhd
Yes
Any issues with the warranty? I have a stock 2020 but I’m about to do a 2024 + want to tune it. Any thoughts?
BMW refused to extend the warranty on my X3M comp when they found it was tuned. If you're under warranty now, they could use a tune as an excuse to deny claims on drivetrain issues. Should not affect claims on items unrelated to the engine or transmission.
You would need to ship the ECU out to be unlocked
so youre saying that x3m is completely stock and its making 630hp!!?? or am i tripping
Correct 😂
The computer inside was saying over 600hp? Then the car was already tuned when you got it. The gauges don’t go that high on the stock X3M. Just an FYI.
That was after the tune
is the suspension really as unbearable as the reviews say? Been considering this but daily drivability and stiff ness of it worries me
its rough cant lie . worse in sport mode at low rpms car is jerky and you feel everything. upgrade with mss or kwv3
@@jasonclay170 dang was hoping that wasn't the case...can't do it, just can't do it. I already find my x3m40i to be annoying rough with the 21 inch wheels.
what @jasonclay170 said
Did you have to gap spark plugs?
I would highly recommend it
@@straight6krishow much? How many cyl. time cor. do you had before and after?
@@frozentaste9855.22 gap
The balls for doing pulls on rt 50! 🤣
Where did you buy the tune from? Thanks
MHD Tuning
I wonder if it’s still a great daily?
yep it is 👍
What guages are those that tell you the hp and torque?
Those are BMW oem gauges
You got 50k miles on it? Any issues at all,
no issues 👍
55k on mine as well with BM3 Stage 1 93. No issues
Is this car all stock just a tune ?
In this video it also had a Dinan axleback exhaust
how reliable are these ?
Video coming soon
Any exhaust mode??
?
Yes active exhaust
Why are suv car dudes cute 😂😂😂
can you feel the difference afterwards? is it worth it? I have a BMW G82 M4 XDrive
Yes, I would highly recommend an ECU tune. There’s a couple brands you can choose from - MHD and Bootmod3 are probably the most popular of the group.
@@straight6krishow much did it cost to do this did you have to ship out your ecu?
