  • We review the 2020 BMW X3M, a performance value in the SUV world at around 70k. We discuss the good and bad of the BMW including the technical and driving characteristics. The X3 still is one of the better looking BMW products and it's a rocket capable of outperforming sports cars in a straight line. Other options are the Porsche Macan, Audi SQ5, and Mercedes AMG GLC.

      I'm the exact same way. I've had years to get used to them, but to me SUVs are still appliances, or in some cases off-road/hauling tools, and I'm just not interested in them at all. This practice of putting tens of thousands of dollars of equipment into a heavy vehicle with a high center of gravity to try to turn it into some kind of street performance machine still strikes me as a deeply silly exercise, despite the fact that everyone has been doing it for years now and apparently people are buying them. At least this one isn't squished into an even more useless "coupe."

      Eh, sounds about right to me. I live in an upper middle class area, and typically it's women I see driving these types of cars (BMW or Porsche SUV's.) Rarely do I see men behind the wheel of these vehicles. While their doctor hubby's at work, these non-working trophy wives are out spending his money. They're not driving these SUV's because they're car enthusiasts, they're driving them because it's an accessory, like a Coach purse. P.S. I'm a woman, so don't call me sexist. I'm just stating facts.

    This vehicle is exactly for the person who needs a single vehicle to do it all. And I can say that with authority, because I almost bought this exact model a mere five days ago. I expect my vehicles to drive well and leave an impression that doesn't fade from memory as soon as the garage door closes, but I also live in a large city with only a single garage space, and I'm a regular at Home Depot and Menards. I'm not going to strap lumber to the roof of a "proper" sports car nor am I going to walk five blocks to a garage that I can rent from a little old lady for $300/month just to properly house/protect it. The part about a husband swindling his wife in order to get her buy-in made me wonder if you guys had a hidden microphone in my kitchen, and it was because of that debate that we ultimately went for a GLC63 instead. An excellent video, gentlemen.

      ​@@xavriz A few reasons. First, I always wanted a V8-powered Benz since I was a kid with car posters on my bedroom wall, and I figured it might be my last opportunity to get one before the whole world goes electric, or Mercedes went bonkers and decided that a hybrid four-banger was somehow a suitable replacement. Second, my wife already had a C-class so she was already somewhat familiar with the design, controls, etc. Third, we also had some problems securing the specific model of X3M that we wanted due to the the first wave of pandemic-related supply chain snafus.

    Porsche prices have gotten ridiculous. Got my Macan S when they first came out, loaded, for $70K. Specced out a new one with all the same options, and you're paying almost $20K extra for the new safety/tech features. Still have my '15 almost 6 years later, and it still drives fantastic. Super solid, fantastic ride, zero issues. I opted for the air suspension, and I think that makes a huge difference. I had an X5 before with rear air suspension, and it handled fine, but it had to be sooo stiff to do it. I described it as "crashing" over little bumps. It was so bumpy and loud inside. The X3M is slightly interesting, but sounds like it has a lot of that same "crashy" feel.

      My friend has both (X3MC and X3 M40i). He drives the comp package and his wife drives the M40i. She already had hers as they were preparing to move from CA to WY. His F80 M3 was traded for the X3MC and he's happy with it as a replacement for that car. Unless you just have to have the M, save the money and get the M40i. According to him, it rides better, sounds great, offers significant savings over the M versions, and the lease and finance offers from BMW are far more aggressive.

      also there's plenty of aftermarket support for the b58 in the x3 m40i, so even tho the s58 has a stronger bottom end and makes more power stock, you can still modify the b58 with basic upgrades (tune, downpipe, injectors, less restrictive air filter and exhaust) and you can boost the hp quite a bit, I've heard the b58 can handle 600hp as is which is awesome, and you can do it for less than the price difference of the x40i vs x3m.

From a driving dynamic standpoint, I cannot see why someone would immediately gravitate towards this first and say "I want an X3M" without having to explain some reasoning after it versus an M340i.

      I have an m3 and drove a x3 m40i once. The x3 is a very good car to drive, but m3 is a total different experience.

      It is more rear on the road and looks more special than X3 that has countless amount of variants.

      Savage geese is the only channel as far I know who delves into more of the unknown and deeper styles of copyright free music instead of those standard CZcams music! (:
