Amazing video, well done! Love the Dravit Grey, the photos/footage don't do it justice, it's a brilliant colour in-person. When I first saw photos of it, I just thought it was another variant of a boring dark grey metallic from BMW, but I quickly changed my mind when I saw it at my local dealership.

Is Lou not a fan of the more 'spirited driving ' because I'm sure your viewers would have welcomed her along. The only reason you would want rwd only is if the car is used solely on track and every kg is important. As a road car the extra poise, traction and security on any road in any weather gained by the X drive makes it so much more useable. Add the bonus that you can go rwd as an option for lairy mountain passes and X drive seems a total no brainer to me. Add the extra practicality of the Touring and BMW may have produced the ultimate vehicle for real world ownership. And I'm not really a BMW fan. I just appreciate good cars.

Great video! What a gorgeous car and what an amazing drive through the mountains! That road is fantastic! I currently have a 2020 bmw m340ix dravit gray and I get compliments all the times due to the bronze color under the sunlight. It’s so nice that my bmw service advisor ordered an m4 competition with the same color! With that said, I am in the process of trading my m340ix for the X3M which should arrive within the next one to two weeks. I can’t wait! The M3 is such a beast of a car! I would have gone for the M3 comp but I needed more practical room so the X3M was the next best thing available.

I loved the reviews so much I went out and bought a new M3. Disappointingly I have owned the car for a year and a half now and my car has been at a BMW dealership awaiting a faulty part from Germany for two months. the sad part is that it is not a major part. I have written to BMW Australia and they are unresponsive as to when the part will arrive in Australia and my car repaired. Very poor customer service from what I thought was a trusted brand. They hide behind a call center located in the Philippines which are trained just to fob you off. disgraceful at best. As it stands I am paying very expensive finance and insurance for a car I cant even drive and have no idea when I will get it back.
