I've had my Phytonic blue X3 M40i for 2 years...would still never trade it for the the Glc43, Audi Sq5 or other equivalent. Best in class performance and practicality. It's a no brainer and the perfect all rounder! The rear leg room is only slightly less than an X5 but the X3 is way more agile at 1.8 tonnes. The X3M is about 250kg heavier and the comfort ride is too harsh

I have the 2021 BMW X3M40i with sport suspension and sport differential and 20" wheels. I love it. My best gas mileage is 29.8mpg @ 75mph in the Eco Mode. Note that this gas mileage was the gas mileage overall while on a vacation to Wyoming from Indiana and return. I love the cornering and performance. So far, my fastest speed is 147. I wanted to go faster but traffic prevented it. I've driven the M340i and glad now that I bought the X3M40i. I plan to order another X3M40i.

(dark graphite metallic) lease was up on my 2019 x3 30i but was unable to get options i wanted on the new 2022 model so I moved to the M40i -in the past I felt I didn't need the extra power, however it is Nice to have . i am enjoying the drive as well as all the new upgrades ( interior ) I did look/drive Q5, GLB &GLC and F-pace, but found BMW ride and tech superior - although F-pace was a close contender however the tech doesn't even come close to BMW.

I have this vehicle in 2019 . It is fast , sounds awesome , actually pretty good on gas , high level fit and finish . Not much more you can ask . Now the negatives . Don’t have a BMW dealer nearby so took it to a familiar VW dealership for an oil change . After 6 hours they called back and said they couldn’t change my oil . They said to remove the oil filter required a special wrench or socket that BMW would not sell them . I was at Costco one day and using their reference booklet bought some windshield wipers only to find out that the Wipers have a proprietary connection and those needed to be purchased from BMW as well . Next , front and rear tires are staggered sizes meaning you can’t rotate for even wear . Plan on replacing all of your tires every three oil changes . I have less than 40,000 kms, have a dedicated set of winter tires and wheels so my summers haven’t even been on the vehicle full time . BMW recommends replacing tires once the difference in tread depth exceeds 2/32 nds difference . This car has a rear power bias meaning the rear tires wear down much quicker than the fronts . This is my wife’s daily driver so it is not driven harder other than when I get to drive it every two weeks or so . You can’t just replace the rears or so the service people say because putting new rears on , will tilt the tread depth difference the other way and would still be hard on the differential . 1100 dollars for two rear tires but that doesn’t even solve your problem . If someone purchases your vehicles and shows patronage to your brand , why would a manufacturer lay out all the land mines unknown to the purchaser ? It seems like trickery and a poke in the eye .

Having a Porsche is always my DREAM. Yet as a meek old guy, I really don’t need anything more than around 300 hp. Thus, I would have cayenne base and s trim options. My son tested cayenne and didn’t like Porsche’s driver interface (everything was controlled by touch screen, unlike bmw’s iDrive wheel), therefore my comparable option would be x3 m40i. I can go up to M comp but really don’t need that much hp. I still miss my Porsche dream but 500 hp on the daily commute.. it’s impractical.

It's not just about the power, I came to realize. My M850i is so fast, I just miss the things you can adjust with the full M car. If the M40i had all the adjustments and the ability to program something other than "sport individual" maybe you wouldn't need the M. But it doesn't, so you need the M.

Very good comprehensive review. One thing that no such review can convey however is the longer term reliability factor. And that is where BMW seems to rank above other typically considered competitors - specifically Mercedes, Audi, and Volvo. BMW should be recognized for achieving higher quality and reliability than the competition. (In my own experience, I can personally convey that the reliability of my 2021 Audi SQ5 has not been good. Numerous repairs needed I (not wear items but rather defects / deficiencies) as well as numerous recalls that needed to be performed - and all of that within the first 2 years and 13k miles.

Great car, but to say it's superior to the X3M is just wrong. The 2 benefits of of the M40i are a slightly more wafty smooth ride which may or may not be your cup of tea as a daily. And of course the price. If you can afford it and can find it, the X3M all the way. Heck, resale value alone makes this a better option. But this car is great in either spec.

Nice review. I am torn between this and the new Porsche Macan S. So configuring this one on BMW's website and the Macan on Porsche's, the difference in price is 12,900 dollars (if you don't go nuts with the options on the Macan while BMW has basically everything on it). Add the fact that Porsche is charging you 2.99% financing instead of the 1.9% BMW chargers for a 60 month payment plan you are close to a 15K difference BMW is quicker to 60. Where most likely BMW fails is the resale value, Porsches keep it much better so lets say the difference in price is a push when you sell it 5 years down the road. I a leaning towards the X3 because the Macan is simply a smaller SUV. Rear seating is smaller, boot is smaller etc.

@@acz88 I am actually looking at the X3M, I was looking at the M40i. I just find it funny the people that clearly see the M40i has tons of M parts and BMW puts all kinds of M’s on it call it not a real M car. If BMW puts an M on it it’s an M car even if snobs don’t want to believe it.

@@thehardcoretruth8777 I owned an M40i prior to my X3M. There is a significant difference. The M40i has “M Performance” parts tune, brake, exhaust. For appearances sake ///M performance cars have been around since the M535i E38 5 series in the “80’s”. ///M Perfomance = M lite. Add an addtional turbo in the S58, Cross Drilled Brakes, additional bracing, suspension, seats, transmission tune, etc and you have the F97. They may look very similar but they drive very different.

Nice review, covered important stuff. Correction on top speed - it is governed at 130. I bought a $60 wireless charger from amazon and it fits perfectly. I switched from C300 hundred to x3 m40i and love it. I considered GLA 43 but the way benz do their packages and options they can get expensive very quickly and in my opinion benz look a bit feminine.

BMW hands down. I lease cars so that 3 year complimentary maintenance I really like. Second maintenance on Benz is $750, outrageous. But I always found Benz to have more comfortable seats than bmw. I c class and 3 series last year and I enjoyed driving the bmw better but longer drives I opted for Benz.
