"rub your wood after a hard day at work" bro 😭

Joe is the undisputed king of the double entendre. 😎

No “Wood Rubbing” after work 😂😂 well not until my hands are washed and I’m wearing my lucky slippers 😁😁😁

2022 X3 is just a great driving SUV/car. I have the white exterior with red interior. It’s beautiful, luxurious and feels solid. I also have the MB GLE and Lexus RX350. They all have their unique traits, but the X3 is the most fun to drive.

Raiti ALWAYS gives the BEST reviews! It's an automatic like from me. Videos always have that energy and details! Joe Raiti you don't miss! Always homeruns!

I'm new to the BMW family and love my '22 Alpine White X3.❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

Last Sunday I’ve picked up my X3. I dont know how to describe feeling… it is so cool, nice, powerful man

It’s so rare to see metallic silver wheels instead of black but man it’s refreshing.

After test driving several compact SUVs from a Honda CR-V to a Mercedes AMG GLC, I thought the BMW was best all around vehicle for my needs. I picked up my brand new 22' X3 m40i in Carbon Black last week and absolutely love it! If I had went with the 30i, than I think the Sport Package is a must as I'm not a fan of the front redesign on this one.

Got my 22’ X3 in October of 21. I went in thinking I would need to have atleast the m40i but after test driving the xdrive 30i 2.0 I was surprised with its performance. The 4cyl did much better than what I was anticipating. I ended up going with a xdrive30i with premium package,tow package, and remote start. Luckily I ordered early on before a lot of options were removed due to the chip shortage. I’ve heard of the premium package no longer having the HUD. Also reports of ambient lighting and remote start not being available.

Without a doubt one of my favorite car review channels! Keep It up, Joe! 🔥🔥🥃🥃

Love my jet black 2022 BMW X3 after coming from a 2010 Acura TSX! I have owned it for 3 months and have had no problems! Gas mileage is excellent and is possibly even better than my TSX!

I'm at a point in life where I skip straight to the interior storage section to know what snacks fit in the car.

I've had my '22 X3 xdrive for two months and I love it. Compared to the GLB, GLC, and Q5 it was the best option for that price point especially since service is included for 3 yrs. And there was a military rebate on top of the discount I negotiated. I'm hooked.

To this day, I still don’t understand why any car manufacturer makes fake side vents. I get for design but why not go the extra step and make them functional??

I really like the blue and this refresh is also amazing. Loving what they did with the rear end of this car

Great review Joe as always. I just picked up a 2021 X3 in that Phytonic blue fully loaded and I must say, the car impresses me more and more each day. By far the nicest vehicle I have ever owned and I've had some nice cars in the past. This is one of those cars that I pray lasts over 150,000 km's because I have no plan to ever give it up early. Cheers!

The 2022 X3 is great, I liked it so much I ordered an x3 m40i for myself.

Great review Joe. I watched this video when narrowing down my choices for a new car and I bought a new 2022 X3 SDrive 30i earlier this week. It's my first BMW and first SUV, I hope ownership is a great experience.

Agree with Matt the blue really makes it look nice.

the only reason I would consider this is because of the tootsie roll capacity in the rear seat.

I so agree that the back windshield wiper should have been tucked under the back light.

Great video, I looked at switching out my 2020 X3 for the 2022. Sadly BMW UK can't offer the same packages due to current issues, so I couldnt get the tech pack etc so I am sticking with the 2020 until things return to some sort of norm.

Ahhh, the patented Raiti speedo blocker is back.

💯💯💯 work all day love the s drive 30i

Hopefully BMW X3 is looking at their engine mounts. My 2020 BMW X3 has engine mounts that went bad after just after the 50k warranty went out. It also has an oil leak. Lemon?

Rdx aspec : hold my joint

Wow I’m really digging that ambient lighting I might cancel my Tesla order🤩🤩🤩

Still an good looking SUV for me to buy one. Awesome job with your videos anyway dude!

Please do a review of the x3M40i. Great review as always

Joe picking the wrong time to testdrive? Lol so much traffic 😂

Had my 2022 X-3 for and month and it is great! Such a smooth ride!

I love your reviews! I'm torn between 2023's X3 M sport package, Volvo XC90 B5, and an Acura MDX Tech package. Please give me your opinion on the best choice. Which one should I Zonk? Thanks.

Joe,you and Lori are amazing

Joe - if you had to make the choice, would you get this or the Genesis GV70?

"you can rub your wood after a hard day of work" 😂😂 this man is comedy

When was the build date on this? I just ordered and heads up is not available.

Raiti is the GOAT

I like the x3 inside but thought it ought to be on all doors. Like the heated steering wheel. Would like a cool option in Texas. Didn't like the cup holder in the passenger rear. Sticks up and hard to put arms. Wish it had the sun visor in rear windows. Like how the grill looks like sunglasses. Would as you say like fog lamps. On the seats folding in the back a winner. So easy looking. At first you don't understand headrest till that happens. The seats up front are great. Just don't like the buttons at all.

Joe, do you think you can review soon the 2022 Lexus RX 350 and the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE??

I was really digging the part when Joe mentioned German Root Beer (does it really exist) but then threw me off the track when he later said, "You can rub your wood after a hard day at work!" 9:53 Probably need more cross-fit exercise Joe- you had a hard time pulling down that center armrest- LOL! I came here for an honest review of this car because I'm planning to get one for my wife's 50th birthday this coming June. She's an awesome wife and mother and works her tail off working at her profession for over 17 years on the night shift, I owe it to her to have something nice for a change. Otherwise, another Classic review Joe- very classic- I'm sold on this one for sure!!

Not a fan of the rear taillights apart from the color. But the X3 is a compelling option.

Interior (except infotainment) looks like my old 2018 Land Rover Discovery sport HSE lux.

I love Raitis Rides man, "arm rest is as hard as a old British scone" 😆😆😆😆👍👍 brutally honest.

I love all your automotive reviews, you helped me make my decision to buy this vehicle, I went with the m sport package, I know its not a true x3m, I bought the xdrive,I wish they would have brought the ix3 electric to the United States, I would have bought it,with the chip shortage no on screen display anymore, no surround camera , I wanted those, you do a fantastic job, so does your wife, I miss seeing you are cars and coffee when it was at dupont, keep up the fantastic work

I know this is a refresh and not a redesign but I wish the floor would be flat like the RDX or the NX but that would mean to move away from a RWD architecture. I need to be able to seat 5 persons comfortably from time to time.

I actually really dig the satin silver trim, looks a lot better than chrome

I like the new X3. Especially the back looks really good.

Love your presentation formula. Keep up the great work!

Raiiti you’re hilarious, really enjoy watching your videos, entertaining and informative!

"Boom! Two cupholders, German engineering." ahaha

Haha I laughed at the CrossFit X thing, bravo!

“Rub your wood after work”😂

Navy blue, Bavarian sky and clouds badge. This vehicle takes me back to the classic style of the 70's 3 series. Unfortunately couldn't afford it then and sadly can't afford it now

Worth mentioning how BMW has removed Head up display, Adaptive Cruise Control, Harman Kardon sound system from their 3 series and X3s. They don't even offer ventilated seats at about $50K. Pretty ridiculous, wouldn't you say Joe?

Joe I know they are different vehicles but I’m considering an X3 and a Lexus RX 350. One is bigger that the other but prices are similar. Inside cargo capacity is not a big issue. Which do you consider the better car? Thanks to you and Laurie for all the great videos!

The 30i isn’t sold in Britain, but the last time I’ve seen one was in Germany.

Hey Joe, just a suggestion, maybe show the front and rear DRLs?

This video is good sometimes showcasing the base model is great!

I didn't know you were in Tampa. We are based in Wesley Chapel. Trying to secure a 2022 X3 with the Harman Kardon System but it was deleted due to supply chain. I'm thinking of buying the X3 with stock system and driving down to Miramar Florida to have JL Audio do a custom system for me like they did for my 18 M240i.

“Rub your wood after a hard day at work” 😂😂😂

Joe you should zonk the radio tuning control for symmetry. I prefer a knob vs the button.

Would be nice if you add prices for base, middle and top trim when you let us know the price of trim you reviewing. Thank you.

Good review Joe can't wait to see the other trim levels of the 2021 BMW X3

A sold base is important thank you Joe & The Queen!

Man you love anything about any design , you are in love 😂

Thanks Joe and Lori !! I only have eyes for the Genesis GV70 😍 lol

Don’t love the silver trim around the windows . Why is this a thing ? I’m assuming this doesn’t have drivers assist at 50k?

Awesome! Nice video as always! Just curios. Does BMW X3 2022 have wireless charging?

Great video as always! Would you take the GV70 instead??

It looks like an older X3. The back is decent and the interior is pretty nice. I like the size.

A few months ago I got a new, fully loaded 2021 X3. It now has only 3,000 miles on it. Drives great, lots of cool tech, but it has bad interior rattles that the dealer has not been able to solve. I've met other X3 owners who say they have the same issues. Very annoying problem that I seriously doubt has changed with the slight refresh. It's a quality control issue.

Honestly she does an awesome job of getting the big picture and essence of the vehicle

Mr Raiti is on a roll! Sheesh I don’t even know what car I want anymore lol

Great review, but I missed information about driving/safety assistant details and a sound system check.

We just got this car, spent a ton of money.. and.... Check engine light at 20 miles in.. not the gas cap, we checked multiple times.. anyway, fun fun (feeling of despair).. taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

What’s with the reclined rear seating I just noticed that today at BMW.

4wd pretty good compact luxury suv

Hey Joe! I’m new to your channel and love it. Best reviews anywhere…period. You always bring it with great humour. My daily dose of infotainment. Your review of the new Subaru BRZ was my last justification to buy one ahead of spring 2022. I can’t wait…thanks Joe! Hope your channel keeps growing and I’ll be along for the ride on throttle!

That wood trim is gorgeous

Is it small on the inside? I am 6ft tall and wondering if I would feel tight in the car.

No doubt the best selling mid-size ICE luxury crossover!

Between the X3 30i and the Lexus nx 450h+ F sport. Which would you rather have?

Have a X3 2021 with Premium Pkg. When I test drove it felt good but when purchased & took long road trip found sport seat bottom uncomfortable & tight & power seat adjustments don't make thigh cushions less restrictive- I'm 185 lb 5'10 but coming from a 2019 Volvo XC 60 seats much more comfortable- another issue is BMW 'park assist'-which is far more difficult & frustrating to use than my Volvo & it had 'park out' assist that BMW doesn't. As for suspension, engine & feel of road-yes BMW far superior than my Volvo which bounced over rough roads-wish I could overlook uncomfortable seat & smaller interior than my XC 60 but I cant. As for chip shortage & inventory backlog I tried to trade in my 6 months old X3 for an X5 but all of Tri-state NY, NJ Conn dealers want to low ball me then sell it on their lot for almost 8k profit plus saying supply & demand dictates they sell me a new 2022 X5 no for MSRP & a month wait. They really don't give a rat's ass about repeat customer & talk about greedy bastards- Anyway Raiti enjoy reviews-enjoy them but had to give me opinion on my X3 - word of advise wait till middle of 2022 to purchase a new vehicle cause the sale managers are really raping the consumer now & its a seller's market. I dont' mind & expect a dealership to make a fair profit on my trade but not A TRIP TO TAHITTA on me! All the best Raiti!

The basic style is affordable for me but I had the side skirt trim 😢 I wonder if this wheel well plastic allows It to be wrapped? Is it smooth or rough?

Great work as usual. But Joe, how about showing us DRAKES people some love, you know Devil Dogs, Ring Dings & Yankee Doodles etc. I'm getting tired of doing the Hostess to Drakes conversions for all of your reviews. Please show us Drakes people some love in the future. Thank you Joe and Lori for all of your hard work!

This does not look like phytonic blue, what color is it?

I love that blue! Is this the Phytonic Blue or the Tanzanite Blue?

Hello , would you choose X3 2.0 diesel or new upcoming Xtrail e-power 2022 model? What would be your position and why? Please help. Thanks. Andy

Always my go to reviews!!

"You can rub your wood after a hard day at work" that sounded like it had a double entendre in that sentence 😂😂

I love you describing the compartments as “Tootsie Roll Tray” or by how many Twinkies will fit 😂.

New Genesis GV70 is blowing this, Benz C430, and the Audi Q5 out of the water!

How are you Joe? I think the X5 is my preferred body style.

how 'bout doing a 2022 X3 M40i review next time? :D :D

Thank you Joe!!!! Finally!!! Gonna pick up my X3 this Saturday!

Which car did you like better driving? The acura rdx or this bmw?

another great breakdown joe but can you for dave say some zingers once lol

I found that the Acura RDX 2022 looks better overall.

Why there is no hood insulator / silencer in BMW X3. Is the heat from the engine (without it) safe for the hood paint especially for long term use ?
