Got my wife the 30i she loves it even without the m sport package.

Nice, congrats on getting X3 30i. For X3 30i - M Sport is just an appearance package, there is really not much happening with suspension. So you are not really losing anything in terms of the ride quality by not opting for M Sport.

I have three 30i and Im perfectly happy with it. It does what I need. However, if I could do it again, I would probably get the 40i. I just like the extra power.

Thanks for your comment. Agree. For the most part X3 30i is what most folks would need.

The Dinantronics Sport for $240, will transform the 30i and you get the nice ride with power. You really need to try a car with it. It will also add even more power to the M40i.

Thanks for the suggestion, just read about it. If I keep my X3 m40i from lease I may try few upgrades.

Beside the test of the M40i and His little Brother, i am really happy that i didn't order the sun roof. I really thougt a long time to order it or not. Because of many vids about problems i didn't ordered it. I wish you luck that everything ist now ok with your sun roof I like the Design of the X3. The X4 especially at the back i don't like. Thanks for this video. Greetings from Germany

Thanks for your comment and stopping by. Yes, sun roof rattle was the biggest annoyance of this car so far. It sounds like not a big issue but the fact that it is close to the ears and constantly tapping noise gets quite annoying. Well soon I will share my feedback on this issue and what are my thoughts on all this.

Can I ask what kind of gopro or dashcam you have mounted on the sunroof? Thank you!

@100miledrive 2 күн бұрын

This is GoPro Hero 12. Honestly not seeing much difference between 11 and 12, as they claimed for 12 to have better battery life, maybe there is but it’s not very noticeable.

Nice! How about X3 30i vs X5 40i??? Which one do you prefer?

@100miledrive 2 ай бұрын

Between X3 30i and X5 40i I would take X5 for sure. It's roomier, more upscale and offers even more comfort.

@easonshih4818 11 күн бұрын

what about 30i with M sport package?

@100miledrive 8 күн бұрын

Thanks for stopping by. X3 30i with M Sport is essentially the same car as non M Sport. I don't see anything different in the suspension. Based on BMW USA info this is what M Sport offers in X3 30i: Shadowline exterior trim 19" M Y-spoke Bi-color Midnight Grey Wheels Roof rails in High-gloss Shadowline The biggest notice in general between X3 30i and X3 m40i will be engine response, engine notes and firmer suspension on X3 M40i. Also steering feels heavier in X3 m40i. X3 30i M Sport vs non M Sport is all about appearance package. If I were to get X3 30i I would for sure opt for M Sport as it looks much nicer. Also don't forget new 2024 X3 has just been announced, you can review that as well.

X3 30i better. More comfortable, more efficiently, cheaper. It has RWD version. It's so funny look owners powerful cars in highway with speed limit 65 miles or in the traffic😂 Why they buy it, it's so stupid...

@100miledrive 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for your thoughts on this. While I do agree and numbers also show that X3 30i will cater to most people - X3 M40i has it's special place mainly because of the engine and sportier feel. It's all about the experience after all. Just like Ferrari and Lambo you can't really go above 65 mph on the freeway but you can certainly tune in to the car behavior: quick steering, brakes, loud engine, superior handling. So if these things don't pose any value for someone then there is no reason to get into this.

🤣😂 where are you even living with speed limit 65mph??? I live in TX with speed limit at 85mph and people do 100mph all the time. So smallminded when you said what you said. definitely you did not see M40i its true potential.
