Personally, I think the new taillights look a lot like the Halo sword.. :D

9:55 as a German, I can tell you German cowboys are almost exactly like the ones in Canada and the USA. The only difference is they greet each other by saying "Audi".

I worked at the BMW plant here in SC, which produces the X vehicles for a bit. Now I work for the company that produces the doors and instrument panels for BMW. It’s great to see people enjoying the suvs! Great review guys!

I work at the plant where these are built in the US! So cool to see your opinions on the vehicles I help build! Love the video!

Correction: The MXX models are not M Sports (which is a package on lower trims), they are M Performance models. They sit above M Sport and under M because the M team actually breathed on them (just to a lesser degree than the pure breds).

Bring back the Box test! You guys were the only ones that did that, and it's so useful!

Liked the videography. Very few car reviewing channels shows the car more while driving now a days and shows the driver instead, which makes the video boring for car enthusiasts. You guys are doing a fantastic job. 👍🏻

The interior of this car is great. With the new updated B58 engine this thing is going to be fast as hell since we've been seeing this engine do 460-480whp with FBO ethanol blend.

I own a 94 Camry, and I'm all the way from Iraq, this is my dream car and this is the best car channel on KZfaq, am I happy or what!?

Best part about this car is how much tuning potential this engine has. Literally just need a downpipe and an e40 tune and it’s making well over 500hp.

We got ours in October this year and we are in love! Told my wife it's a "family suv" ;)

Had mine for about 3 months……. Luv it Great review 🙏🏻

you guys always get the good combination of interior and exterior

Just purchased one a couple weeks ago. Incredible car. Couldn't be happier with the decision. Love the reviews keep it up

This is the one I have been waiting for. Thank you.

Great video and review as always guys! Love your critiques but miss your Box test!! I have a 2021 x3 M40i and the power is addictive but very accessible. The X3M on my test drive was not compatible with commuting due to a super harsh suspension. Audi, MB, and Volvo can’t come close to this combo of power, fuel economy, cargo space and passenger space…plus the infotainment is really great. Exhaust note is also maturing nicely over time. Interesting to note that the highway mph actually went down with the mild hybrid system and the US EPA found no benefit with city mpg. In Ecopro mode this will reliably get 25-27 mpg on the highway at high speed (~75-80mph). I love this car!

As a GLC 43 owner I think the X3m40i, SQ5, Macan S etc., all hit a really nice sweet spot for not being their more expensive, higher performance counterparts. I think 380ish HP is more than enough for a daily driver SUV that you can still have some fun with.

I had a X3M40i for a day when my E90 LCI 323i went in for a service two years ago and it was an absolute beast. I would buy one, but it doesn’t have enough boot space for my dog.

Love my 2020 X3 M40i. Did not get M badges over the fender vents, but the European models did. Go figure. Nice video. 😎

Anxiously awaiting mine to arrive . Love the colour!

I usually enjoy your videos but lately I think TSP is just talking about the options, infotainment, design which I do like but forget about the driving experience and how the car feels. Hope we can get back to that

The best part about this car? How much power the engine can make with basic mods. You literally just need a downpipe and a e50 blend of gas and it’s making 500whp.

We absolutely adore our 2020 X3 M40i. It has the same engine tune but no mild-hybrid system. That thing has been such a tank; it has taken a hit from a truck and continued to run perfectly. It can deal with deep snow with no problems either, even with the A/S tires (star spec Bridgestones). It has been super ergonomic, super efficient, and fun for my wife and I. I would recommend one for anyone even if they have to pay a little more than they want, you won’t regret it!

The taillights instantly reminded me of the energy swords from Halo. The Arbitrator approves.

Really don’t see a point in the X3M for a daily. These ride way better, sound better. and are more than fast enough.

Yet again - a great review - thanks!

Halo sword taillights look amazingggg! The B58 can hit 490 HP with an Ethanol blend! Just wow. Superb ZF 8 Speed as always, beautiful wheels+calipers! Sport Contact 6s or Pilot Sport 4s's ! This car is a real package!

Currently my daily driver and I love every bit of it 🤩

The "I went limp" test had me rolling! Haha. THC + TSP is a good combo!

Loving your videos I think bmw has some of the best looking tail lights

Mi rate di way uno do uno reviews. Respect for that. Educated a di way mi feel a di end a di video. Respect.

I have a 2019 X3 m40i and added a JB+ to get 400hp. It's an amazing SAV! Great size, power, comfort, and a blast to drive!

Bmw got rid of the wireless charger on most models due to supply issues. Ordered an X5 earlier this year and that was taken away even thought it was included in the package purchased. They refunded the cost

I LOVE IT!!!! THE TOTAL FAMILY HAULER!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

This car review was Absolutely great

A little more commentary on how it rides would be nice, how stiff is the suspension in the various modes?

6:29 blonde guy flying around in the passenger seat, got me laughing. That was hilarious! Comedy segment. 🤣

Was looking forward to the opinion on the rear taillights. I am satisfied and pleased.

I just placed an order for one of these in the same color. I can’t wait. 8-10 weeks seems like an eternity!

To me this is the best car BMW makes right now. Its so well rounded and accomplishes a lot of different tasks

That was the best 10 seconds of Yuri. 6:30-6:40. I can’t stop laughing.

I wanted one of these newer X3s and enjoy driving them but similar to you guys, my wife couldn’t get comfortable in the seats over a 10 day rental on PEI.

19 badges isn't enough. Limp test 4 the win! I think they nailed it with this one. Thank you gents.

Definitely need the limp test. I was laughing through the whole test lol

I had a 2020 one as a service rental when my 430 was in the shop. Man do I miss that thing.

Using the power line poles to transition in the costs...*chef's kiss*

The volcanic burning of bimmer guys with the three painted grill slats suits my tastes just fine. Mighty just fine.

I think the limp test is a great idea it shows how good the seats are bolstered

I've had mine for 8 months. Love the car. It's very quick, looks good, handles great, sounds great, infotainment is snappy, and it and has physical buttons for everything. And it fits a car seat and my family comfortably. What else could you ask for?

Really cool Taco shirt bro. and love that refresh on the X3.

Once supply chain issues are worked out, I'll be grabbing one!

500 kW of torque is insane...😜

Omg please make the limp test a permanent thing. Watching Yuri get rag dolled around the front seat is hilarious looking.

Loving the hair Yuri!! 1. Genesis GV70 2. BMW X4 M40 3. Infiniti QX55

THOSE REAR TAIL LIGHT LOOK LIKE THE ENERGY SWORD FROM HALO !!!!!!🤩

I drove 3 x3/X4M’s to convince myself, coming from an F82. Ended up with an x4 M40i. I strongly advise potential buyers to try these Pseudo M’s without hate. Ultimately, the M40i drove very well, was better damped and sounded better. The x3/X4M just are not as intense as you’d hope, and when you consider gas/maint/insurance it’s not just a few hundred difference. Don’t forget the engine is tuned more NA on M’s which is frustrating in daily driving. I used to hate these M performance cars after 5 M’s but I put my ego aside and ended up enjoying these. Worth a shot.

Daily drive is the current X3 M40i. It’s a great car. All I need, fast enough and big enough. (Used to drive a 1st gen X6 4.0d) Who really needs an X3M? Only issue is the exhausts in all European versions have an exhaust filter, so no pops and crackles. You also lose a bit of rear luggage space if you spec the spare wheel. I’d love an M badge on my front grille though.

Love the Energy Sword taillights

I prefer pre-facelift but a beast in any config

I have this car and love it so much I actually watch videos about it. This is definitely the best video about it so far! - German Cowboy (JK, not really a cowboy… or German. But this is a great video. And a great car.)

I have a 2021 X3 M40i and I absolutely love it. I drove the X3M and the ride was just too harsh for a daily driver. My car is pretty loaded up with the same rims and I still feel like it's a great value. BTW, I have the exposed wood trim, no cowboy branding tho 😅. I'm a huge fan of your channel! I subscribed before it was cool.

Just ordered a '23 X3 M40i...Alpine White over Tacora Red Sensatec. Now the wait begins! Thanks for your review....helped me make our decision!

My wife has this exact vehicle, but black exterior with the cognac interior. The infotainment center does the weirdest stuff. You actually use hand gestures in front of the screen to control stuff without touching a knob. Like to raise the volune, you can move your finger in a circle.

OMG guys, the Yuri gone limp part has to be a new segment on fast cars please, had me cracking up.

Just bought a 2018 X3 M40i! Absolute beast

question about this version x3 m40i , official website said that "M sport diff is available as standard on m40i" what are the differences between a normal m40i's x drive and a m40i with m sport diff? does your tester has m sport diff?

For a Canadian car review, while the whole country is freezing cold except for parts of BC, you guys must be testing this somewhere other than Ontario...the t--shirts are a dead giveaway. LOL! Great review. Just one question though; Did you guys test drive a regular X3 and if so how did you find the ride? Is it much firmer than a regular X3? I'm not a fan of performance SUV's because if you want a sports vehicle my advice would be to get a real sports car. SUV's are for hauling people and stuff while sports cars are quite the opposite. I have a sports car and I can tell you that my car has excellent cup holders and proper space for my cellphone. Fun and informative with excellent production quality as usual! Blond hair does suit you....

I feel like this review was missing a "rough road" section for us city dwellers. The suspension in a test drive felt very rough even in comfort.

Sucks the mild hybrid system kills the sound the 2019 m40i’s sounded really good

I will get this suv one day even if it’s a couple years from now, it will still look good.

bought the 2021 version, engines the same 2022 is just a minor face lift. Been enjoying it ever since!

I have a theory about M; I think BMW is acutely aware of how "diluted" M cars have become in the balance between enthusiast driving and daily commuting. Starting with the current M3/4, it looks like they are making M even more hardcore and using the M-sport to satisfy all the people who want a more daily-livable M-car. Ergo the Mx40i cars getting all the badges, the mirrors, and even the special edition M-things like the retro emblem. Also why they are getting way more performant than they have ever been before.

Really want this size BMW, but the luxury features of the X5 (massage seats, merino leather, electric adjustable steering wheel) and availability of PHEV are making me consider the X5. I know that the X5 is getting a mid cycle refresh for 2023, but any news of any of the above features making it into the 2023 X3?

I love this and the taillights remind me of the halo energy sword!

What a BMW those bold looks just love it

Dope!!!! That launch control was awfully long but worth it!!!!

0:43 I think you guys meant 500Nm for torque, not kW.

Even Doug Demuro didn't know that Alpina came stock in Alpina Green as he questioned why the steering wheel was accented in green along with the M stripes.

Awesome Happy Holidays🎄

I have a 2020 , which your previous M40i review sold me on. There are some cool things on the 22 , like the standard Sensatec seat is from the 5 series and the updated cockpit. The outside is no for me. I did test drive a base X5 at the same price but it was too big on the outside and not at all bigger on the inside. I like to dart around traffic so the X3 is perfect. The M sport "styling" I would have wanted on the X5 was like a 8k package and out of my range.

I don't like the tail lights on this new X3. I wonder why BMW finds it difficult to simplify tail lights. The front end looks great here though, especially with the black grille.

I came for the limp test hopefully being a thing in every future video!

Your editor deserves a raise!

Yuri's editing gets better ever video

I got one in the same colour in my garage. Just love the power, sound and how it handles!

“Launch control… that was very smooth” * Urie’s head whiplashing every shift * 😂

10:49 Totally unrelated, but nice transition for the base price and tested price. Sync with the pole as you drive by.

A little tip for upcoming BMW videos: You can get stillstanding „levitating“ center logo caps which you can easily switch out. I think the rolling shots and pictures of the wheels would be pretty cool with an upright logo.

Those tail lights look like energy swords from halo.

You guys should show the taillights and turn signals

Not a fan of the rear light graphics. The rest is pretty good. If I were looking for an SUV.....yeah, I might consider. As a B58 owner I'm of course a fan of the engine.

It’s amazing how good the old M2/3/4 looked and how bad they look now. They gotta fire their designer who’s making these changes.

I work close to the BMW plant in South Africa and these cars look amazing and it was so weird seeing LHD models on their way to the storage facility.

another question is that you mentioned that "this tester has the adaptive suspension" as default? i test drove the 2018 m40i model, it allows me to choose adaptive suspension with a button, but not on this 2022 model anymore.

Love to get one of these but why did they do away with the black kidney grill on the bmw website configurator? Just looks odd blacked out with a chrome grill.

This car looks, sounds amazing, bmw really makes quality cars especially M cars

Top dog in the segment at the moment, followed closely by the GLC43 AMG and the GV70 3.5t sport prestige

The Halo Sword tail lights are so cool

Thanks for sharing this, glad to see the features of this. Thanks guys! What color is this, I mean the exact color on the window sticker? No color like that his in the bmw website? Thanks!
