My wife has a 17 X4 m40i that she adores but I keep trying to convince her to get one of these with low miles! I guess maybe I want it more than she does but it's just a perfect daily

"It's the perfect car". Bro I have a 2017 M2 and when test driving the X3 M40i I felt the exact same way. What more could you ask for in a car? It pulls harder than my M2, drives like it weighs the same, better visibility, can calm down and relax in comfort mode, and is insanely practical. I just bought a 2020 X3 M40i for $39k with 19k miles. one owner no accidents. What a value! I'll know soon enough if it's good enough to replace the driving characteristics of the M2. Delivery in a week

It’s the perfect daily driver. I find myself choosing the X3 over the M2 9 times out of 10. Unless you’re a track rat it really doesn’t make sense to get the M cars or even the sedans anymore. These SUVs are so capable

@Dashcamfailz Жыл бұрын

Did you prefer this over the x5 m50i? In terms of performance, handling and ride confort?

@DMCarReviews Жыл бұрын

They are very similar performance wise. The X3 has a snappier and more instantaneous response, and it's a higher revving engine than the V8, where the torque is more oriented in low-mid range. The X5 M50i is slightly softer on the ride, and more spacious, but it is not as agile on the backroads, yet still being very capable. I honestly love both, but for myself, I would stick with the X3. I just don't need that much space as the X5 offers.

@Dashcamfailz Жыл бұрын

@@DMCarReviews that’s great to know, as long as its has some confort the x3 is definitely a better choice to play with on some back roads 🙏🏼

@@DMCarReviews btw did you find a difference of the ride between this and the x4 m40i 2022? Also in the video of the x3 there is a special launch control mode, when you will do it it will say launch control (sport plus and traction completely off) i think you’ll have a 3.9 0-60 👀

@@DMCarReviews Because you could've possibly gotten an even better time. It normally takes 2-3 seconds for full boost to build when using launch control. While 4.2 is a great(!) number, it is possible for it to run even faster.
