I've wanted to visit Morocco for a long time so when BMW invited me to join a trip to Marrakesh for the launch of the all new BMW X3, it didn't take long to think about it! Now in its third generation, the X3 30d xDrive that I find myself driving is more than capable of the journey to the Atlas mountains on an exploration of a breathtaking area. It makes me think though, will there be a time I decide to purchase such an SUV?

Yeah.. G63 6x6 is for you.. !! 😍😍

Are there kids coming in the near future? No? So no SUV!

I went to Morocco 3x. But not in such a cool car like that :(

Shmee, I don't think you understand BMWs. They're not like flashy Mercedes. I'd say their closer to Range Rover in that they evolve the design. Because they're not flashy and on the conservative side, I love most BMWs (except for the 6 Series). I like timeless elegance. I like the fact that the interior isn't busy. The exterior grows on you as you begin to notice the lines (I especially like the looking at the X3 from the back, slightly to the side). One last thing I like about BMWs are the thoughtful luxuries it has. A very nice (and convenient) luxury is triple flash. When you want to pass a car using you signal, you press it down once and it flashes your turn signal three times. Anyway, my thoughts on the matter.

No you don't need a SUV.

Thanks for coming by Tim. You're welcome anytime! And thanks for the video (y)

man!!! i never thought shmee will come to my country

Obviously you need the Bentayga :)

Spot-on review and I’m booking my hotel room in that hotel !

The X3 is a fantastic car. I had one for 24hr test drive & drove a Q5 the following day and much preferred the BMW. It's luxurious, quick enough for an suv(which is not what suv's are all about) and looks better in the flesh than in video /pics. More understated class than flashy in your face. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. It probably is overpriced but if it fits what you are looking for it is a really good choice.

Thank you for the shoutout to the early squad👏👏 Keep doing you Tim, I cannot wait for each new video💯

Started video, went away and made dinner, had a shower, got dressed, came back and he’s still banging on about head up displays!

Best in class no competition here.I ordered my already 30d Luxury line black with caramel interior with full full option even 21 inch individual wheels.Will arrived 01.2018

SSHHHHHMMMMEEEEEEEE! Back to the JOLLY ROGER!

This is one of my fave video, or perhaps I’m biased bc I’ve just gotten a new X3, but you could do more of these Shmee!!!! Thanks a lot!

welcome to morocco it a honor to visit us on morocco

One of the best hotel room/areas ever!

I think your being very kind Shmee about the samey looking X3 there's very little difference for your £60,000 pounds. your so much more excited and thrilled about your Fabulous Room and I must say it's very luxurious and I'm really pleased for you Tim .

Welcome to Marrakesh Tim! Been a subscriber since your early spotting days... keep it up.

I'm more impressed by the hotel room than the car

Morocco is such a beautiful country!

Great review it’s my second time watching it

Welcome to Marrakech Shmee!

Welcome to morocco tim !!!!!! i can't believe it haha

BMW has done a great job creating a time machine. This car sets you back 10 years.

That hotel room. I would never want to leave

Shmee gave us a shout-out **blushes**

Greatly envious of your adventures Tim! Cool vid and series

what the hell did i just see at the end?It looks like the most expensive hotel ever than in Dubai, its villa hotel?its simply amazing,hope you are having a great time in that beautifu hotel in a hot country ;)

Great vid as always Tim! It’s a nice looking Bmw, more so on the inside than out but can’t see you having one of these though!

I'm good thx for asking!

x3 m40i with some tunes might be a really fun car. 400hp will probably not be soo hard to achieve

The villa was sooo amazing it should have been a room for the RR phantom press release

HI Tim, I find these reviews of quite normal cars really interesting, I hope we see them more regularly between all the mind-blowing supercar content. Also that hotel room was awesome!

That is the best hotel room in the world

If you need an SUV around that size Tim, get Macan! Not as boring as the Q5 and great to drive for the class!

The villa you are staying in is absolutely gorgeous!

Yes you need

LOVE the car, LOVE the video. Continue with these kind of cars. I mean premium “normal” cars :)

Nice video Tim!

Hey +shmee150.great review.keep it up bro.

Fantastic to see you visiting my country with BMW ;)

Love the hotel room...perhaps more than the car😁

Keep up the awesome vids Tim! :)

I enjoyed the global end profound explanation of the BMW X3

TAKE THE BENTAYGA!! THE BENTAYGA!

If you get an suv Make sure you get atleast AWD! Don’t want to get stuck in the snow on a ski trip.

We never get reviews of the base models.. always Ms or 30/35i

I’ve just ordered one. Can’t wait till 1st March.

Welcome to Morocco 😀

I love Morroco, best country in the world

Welcome To Morocco

If you need an suv i think a cayenne/macan are far better options. But no, you don’t need one.. only useful for the ski trip.. and kids... or perhaps get one with a towing hitch+trailer and use it to transport your other cars long distances if you want to save miles on the more special cars... but i never felt you’re one to try and save miles on the other cars..

hi shmee im guys

i also tested the new X3 but in Belgium on the highway. really nice car

Hi shmee!!

If you want an SUV, I’d say go for it but I think unless you have a family, I.e. kids, there isn’t really a need for an SUV. There are plenty of cars that have similar storage space I.e. most modern day estate cars. But I won’t deny there are some lovely SUVs out there. Range Rover SVR, Bentayga and Macan S to name a few! Lamborghini Urus also to come relatively soon!

Great review 👍

Loved the review and the little tour of your room. Wish you were able to show that display light at the bottom of the X3

No you DO NOT Need a hateful suv

Here as always

hi shmee! good review:)

definitely not....

Like like like. Do more of the "behind the scenes stuff" :)

Why do you need Babies when you have IKEA. You definately need a SUV.

Looks like the extended version of BMW X1.

To you all thinking £55k is a lot; went to my local BMW dealer here in the Netherlands with my mom to look for a new car and we ended up speccing a nice X3 xDrive20i (base engine) Lux Line and it ended up being €82.000. Which is? £71.000. Yeah. It’s insane.

i have a 2013 x3m and personally i like mine in comparison to this new one. to each his own..

TELL THE YEAR NEXT TIME

Perhaps it has been mentioned before but you cannot park the X3 with the display key, unlike the 5.

People used to make fun of the Ford GT's backside looking like something from angry birds, but an upfront look of this is questionable.

Hi shmee. SUV’s are useful and the x3 is the perfect size. SUVs are so useful and will help you with all your trips to ikea. Get one.

X3 will do it but Bentayaga was looking just fine with you

I would love you to review a land rover

Holy hell that room is totally amazing ps the BMW X3 is cool too 😂

Loving the Metallica advert !!!!

The first time I've driven a new car before shmee did

Just waiting for that x3m with the m3/m4 engine

Finally you came to my home country. What did you think of Marrakesh?

BMW blackmails you Tim Tim:BMW can i test new BMW M5? BMW:Yes only if you review new BMW X3. Tim:Ok

i schiver from disgust everytime is see that PIGsnose on every new bimmer

If you needed a SUV, x3 would never be your choice.

I definitely think you would love a Range Rover SV autobiography.

Is it me or is BMW’s styling becoming even less adventurous than Porsche’s???

Maybe you could get a velar

What about an SQ7? Plenty of power and has the looks

Bmw should produce a X3M with a M3 engine under the bonnet

Tim, you and I both are Merc guys all the way lol of which there are various options!

Porsche Macan and Range Rover Velar will be a great sporty&comfy suv's, if u prefer to buy?

Nice review! X3 is very well done. But you are right- looks too much like the old one. Still, it would be my choice as it is very good where it really counts for a car like this.

Cool video as always, quiet like the car even if you see it way too often on german roads^^

Prilicno ruzan automobil!!!

Stelvio Q is all you need

great car

🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 Welcome to our beautiful 2018 Morocco ♥️😄

Shmee for 1 love the new video as always 2 I don't think it would hurt to get a cheap but spacious SUV.

We want the short title back! 😂

definitely get it!

Yes! The x5m tho!
