I just upgraded from a 2011 328i to the 2020 X3 M40i. Needless to say, I’ve been smiling from ear to ear everyday for the last month! Absolutely love this car!!
My absolute favorite BMW if I had to choose. The full M is great but 500hp for everyday city driving is pointless for me. 382hp with the right amount if pops and burbles is perfect.
I just purchased the 2020 X3 m40i. It is everything you guys state in the video. An absolute beast of a cart. I love mine, best vehicle I have ever driven. Loved the video & you showed me things I did not even know about with my car. I purchased mine in the blue with black interior. Yes, BMW have absolutely hit the spot with this car.
It’s awesome that you guys are mentioning the decibel readings at highway speeds. Noise level is such a big component of luxury and comfort and it’s good to get an objective measurement of that.
you driving a BMW , Sound is a part of this kind of "luxury" ... Lambos are also luxury cars . if you want to drive a silent bath tub on wheels , better to get a Cadillac ;) . ( I own a X4 M40i ) . also I may be a fake sound form the speakers , lemme check about that .
I owned a 2018 X3 M40i, and it would always put a smile on your face when behind the wheel. What I don’t like on this 2020 model is the backward tachometer, and the only way to get around that is buy a X3M. Fun, fun car.
I own one of these (carbon black), picked it up February 2020. Great car. I had a 2017 X3 30d before, can’t even compare the two. The M40i is something completely different. However a bit disappointed that the 2020 version does not crackle and pop as much as the 2018/2019 version.
I had the chance to drive this actual vehicle several months later on the Don Jacobs lot. Excellent SUV, unfortunately the dealership couldn't meet me for price, so I ended up saving about 3 grand by just building one.
Amit Srivastava Wow what a great car hey... my dad his one in Glacier silver with the m performance rims.... It is amazing how quick it is. In fact my dad just raced a Previous generation x6M and he told me that in first gear he had the x6 in second the x6 pulled it back and in third the X3 pulled away...What is your interior color?
@@chrislancaster1982 depending on how many other costs and responsibilities a person may have paying that $700 a month for this wouldn’t be practical lol
This is the perfect combination of modern BMW tech for me. B58TU but no mild hybrid system, iDrive 7, normally proportioned exterior styling (I'm looking at you G01 LCI styling designer), no "M Tax" and it comes in Phytonic Blue.
This car is my entertainment only for my life on every time I come from hard work and get in to fryway ramp I am like smiling all time.......wow mine is M40i 2019
Haven't driven one of these, but I picked up a loaded x3m competition and it's really great as a daily. The mpg is rough in sport plus, but that is to be expected. However even with the mpg getting torched in sport plus, in m efficient or regular sport can't say I'm mad at all with the HP or the drive comfort coming from a 2011 camry.
I was very close to pulling the trigger on one before all this Covid-19 stuff hit. I'm just worried because so many people seem to think BMWs are nothing but money pits and always need repairs. And I'm not a leasing type of person. I want a car that I can keep for 10 years or more.
Thank you(and other youtubers) for the in-depth M40i reviews! I picked up my 2020 M40i over the weekend and it's just perfect. Love this car. Loads of power but not too much where it's wasted on the daily commute. Keep up the good work.
@@CarConfections Alpine White w/ prem pkg, driving ast pkg, parking ast pkg, HK sound, 20"s. Would have loved to have black leather w/blue stitch or cognac but none on the lot but gotta say the Sensatec on the new models are really nice! No adaptive suspension either. Dealer actually gave a great offer on an X3M but honestly, it would have been a waste as a daily. Not to mention probably teeth-rattling for LA roads. All in all, great great car. This coming from a former Macan S owner!
@@anw9485 I just picked up a lightly used '21. I can't find any with the dynamic suspension. Dealers couldn't even configure them with it anymore. Not sure why BMW did away with it...I could have used the softer ride, but I'll change the tires from the run flats on the 21'' wheels it has. Aside from a few small issues, it's a great little SUV.
@@JoeJacksonGT3 Congrats! Adaptive suspension seems to be a pretty rare spec on the Pre-LCI models. I believe it's standard for the 22 LCI so that might be why it's not in the online configurator. But due to chip shortage a lot of add-on features are temporarily unavailable. Enjoy the car! I'll also add that since my original post from when I picked up the car new in 2020, I've had a 2021 SQ5 as our second car and replaced that with a 2022 GLC43. So I currently have the 20 M40i and a 22 GLC43. The M40i is still something special. You made the right choice!
@@anw9485 Thanks! I owned a GLC63 AMG for a year. Loved it, but then moved into an E63s wagon. Loved that more lol. This was precovid, and used car prices skyrocketed, so I took advantage of it. When can you get into an AMG and sell it for a profit...not often. Any how, our needs changed, we downsized and I wanted something playful, but not over the top like the 63 models. I was very familiar with the Merc, but wanted to try something different. The M40 is the right balance for me.
Rip Dorkle there you go. If you had any intelligence at all, you would realize that people who can properly afford to buy these cars either keep them for 4 years so they’re always under warranty, or lease them so they’re always under warranty. I’ve owned many Audi’s and BMWs, and have never had major issues with any of them, the exception being one of my Audi’s that needed an engine rebuild after only 65,000 kilometres. But all my bimmers have been major problem free.
@@mattX5 Im the type of man that when he buys a car, he keeps it, like a sequoia, f250 powerstroke, or a qx80. i make wise and rational decisions all the time, except games. thats why i dont own an instant gratification monkey. And you on the other hand... WOW! i believe you are telling me the bestest huge lie ever! i believe you own an instant gratification monkey tha is shiny and sleek and inntelligent to make you fall in. i used poor grammar on purpose.
Excellent review! Always enjoy your videos!Question, I haven’t found where remote start is available through the BMW application for the 2021, are you sure that it’s available?
Thanks! We didn't specifically test out the lane keeping assist but during our highway drive it didn't interfere or do anything abrupt like some systems do
The main thing to consider is that this is definitely a better drivers car. Outside of that, both are very nice and would probably come down to personal preference
Typical Bmw nickel and dime u for every option/ No power steering wheel and rear ventilated seats at this price/And 500 bucks for wireless charging? ill be using my wired cable thanks
Philip Pernice no car in this class has rear ventilated seats you absolute and utter tool. Even in the class above this, most don’t have ventilated rear seats.
@@mattX5 What are the parameters of designating an absolute and utter tool? Can one be an "absolute" tool or an "utter" tool or are they always in conjunction with one another? How about an utter and absolute tool (the old switcheroo)? Those old time-y Euro inspired insults always throw me for a loop.
Only a company as arrogant as BMW can charge $500 for 50 cents worth of cheap Chinese plastic and circuitry for wireless charging that Mazda/Honda/Subaru et al. include in their higher-end models at no extra charge.🙄
I just upgraded from a 2011 328i to the 2020 X3 M40i. Needless to say, I’ve been smiling from ear to ear everyday for the last month! Absolutely love this car!!
Kevin Page same here! I’m coming from a 2011 328xi to the M40i and I love it! What do you like the most?
I blew a valve somehow in mine and they gave me this car for a loaner.
Should i trade in my 2023 lexus for this car? Lol
Just went from the same to x3m and I’m just in shook still 🤯

Love the new BMW X3 M40i and they look absolutely gorgeous and stunning 😍🔥
I love the new X3! As an owner of a first generation one, the ownership has been amazing. Can’t wait to upgrade to a new one one day!
I can see why this is the best seller for BMW but that's mostly for the 30i but the way that engine growls on that 40i, this thing is bonkers!
I had the chance to drive this actual vehicle several months later on the Don Jacobs lot. Excellent SUV, unfortunately the dealership couldn't meet me for price, so I ended up saving about 3 grand by just building one.

Amit, you are dialed into the X3 M40. Please hit me up for info. on the newest model.
You guys should also do a fuel economy test to see what it gets in real life and see if you can beat the epa estimates. Great review though!
I really like the way you demo this car. Real driving conditions. I really enjoy mine!
Awesome review guys. The BMW X3 looks great
Thanks!
Great review, good video, My wife & I own this Baby and it is a fun, fast vehicle......Thanks
Thanks! And great choice of vehicle 👍!

Exactly. Until now I couldn't find one used around 2019 or 2020 in my area. Hot and I really love it already tested drive like a supersonic misle
I loved how the plate fell down and he started laughing
I personally have one and I love it. I test drove a m340i and I loved the suv a lot more and because I was originally gonna go for a x3 M competition

Can you try to review the 2020 BMW X4 M40i? or just the 30i? Nice review as always.
I love the lack of music so I’ve decided to sub. Great content also you guys make a good team.
Thanks so much! We appreciate that! 😁

That B58 motor is one of the best motors BMW ever made.. If you want another, hundred horsepower, you can do that for under $1000!!

What wheels and size did you go for?
@@lmac7636 19 inch Niche and Continental tires.
Agree, I could not stand the run flats on my BMW and it rides so much better without them.
Great job guys! and great contents and very well explain. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
I test drove this recently and loved it but I would have a hard time managing the temptation to speed as a daily driver
Can you choose M40d in USA ?
Good video but the b58 motor is a twin scroll single turbo, not a twin turbo.
me first, nice review. love your reviews genuinely tbh.
This is actually one of BMW’s more reliable cars.

Well done 🤘🏻💯

Excellent review! Always enjoy your videos!Question, I haven’t found where remote start is available through the BMW application for the 2021, are you sure that it’s available?
You should show how Apple CarPlay works. It’d be useful for us that don’t use auto’s native map
Just bought one Im in love You have to try it on snow Wow
I like the BMW X3 M40i it’s very nice
Nice review keep it up 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video! thank you guys!
This is the “Accidental Child that’s Perfect”, making anything better is harder and unpractical.
Nice vid dude
Thanks! 🙂
Mind is BMW X3 sdrive 28i so much fun to drive
Great review as always guys. We just got a 2020 X3 M40 and are loving it. Definitely is fast but not faster than a GLC63, GLC43 yeah but not the 63.
Thanks! It's definitely a great choice and a ton of fun, so congrats! 😁
9:31 Infiniti also does that with most of their v6 cars
Lol I saw the falling license plate
Dear. Toyota. Can you make rebadged x3m as supra crossover?
I want this car so bad. Gonna trade in my x1 and 335i for this puppy
I love the Beige (or brown) interior in this bmw , exterior is great too with another color .. silver or black 👌. Thank u guys
😁
How r u my friends ?
I have one. that motor is alone worth it.
Which one is better BMW X3 440i or Audi SQ5?
Please do a review on the x4
👍👍
second! that was a dope bmw review! hoping to see more coming soon!
You know it!
@@CarConfections gotcha! ya'll knew i was second to watch!
Great review! Have you guys tested the lane keep assistant for the BMWs? Does it reliably keep the car centered in its lane?
Thanks
Thanks! We didn't specifically test out the lane keeping assist but during our highway drive it didn't interfere or do anything abrupt like some systems do
sadly X3s don't actually have remote start available.
Best options the X3 M40 or the M6
I always enjoy your reviews! I hope you guys reach your 250k subscriber goal soooon!
Thank you! Let's hope so! 🤞
Do a review on the new
2020 BMW X1 xdrive m-sport
I’m getting it soon lol thanks in advance
Daniel Hernandez but the M-sport
It’s hard to find good videos lol
It has the better features 🙏
Wonderful to drive but that center stack is hideous.
Is it quite loud inside, lots of engine noise?
is that idrive 6 with a digital dash?
Which interior is yours? The beige or the oyster?
That’s beige
Is it only me or the color grading begins at 3:19?
How would you compare this to the Model Y?
In the most basic terms, the Model Y is faster but this is more fun
What are your thoughts on this compared to an XC 60 ?
The main thing to consider is that this is definitely a better drivers car. Outside of that, both are very nice and would probably come down to personal preference
Is this a true " M " or a fake M ( stripe down version) X3 ?
The M40i is considered lower than the genuine X3 M
More reliable than a land cruiser lol
Said no one ever.
That’s nice looking! But the interior... ehhh
$500 for wireless charging? hahahah ok.....maybe ill just use an amazon wireless charger.

J High A tool is like calling someone a moron. Precisely, you’re acting like a tool right now.
Great review, although the “automotive delicacies” line at the end is just straight up bizarre. You’re giving me Jeffrey Dahmer realness.
The M40i is not faster than the GLC 63. The Mercedes has over 500hp. They're not in the same category.
Is this the same exact engine as the m340i?
Yes
I know the car has a good engine when y'all laugh after the kick when you floor it.
Does interior ambient lighting come standard?
Bennett Vu No, it’s a $250 option.
It came standard on my 2018 M40i. I believe this changed for 2020.
Jamie Rowland I dont think so, my 2020 had it standard with the m40i aswell
What song were you guys playing for the audio sample?
It's called Accidents will Happen on the TH-cam audio library
Is it petrol Or diesel?
Petrol
Does it have apple carplay?
Yes
It’s nice. Although the interior is so meh... looks like the same interior from a 2013 3 series
