  • The new 2018 BMW X3 M40i might be the new perfect winter whip. From carrying all of my camera equipment and snowboard gear, it checks every box that I'm looking for in a roomier vehicle. Helps that it has a 355 HP twin turbo I6 and gets from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds!
    Big thanks to www.bmw.ca for making this happen

    This car doesn't have double clutch transmission, it has a tourque conventer 8-speed auto. The Bmw's have a system called 'DTC' not 'DCT' which stands for Dynamic Traction Control, which tones down the stability control (DSC) and let you have some fun through the corners.

  • @bluegrassbabe1
    @bluegrassbabe1 Před 6 lety +121

    It is an 8 speed auto not a DCT.

    • @HINDLEYMEDIA
      @HINDLEYMEDIA Před 6 lety +2

      8 speed torque convertor*

      @Areku06 Před 4 lety

      ZF 8 speed auto, it’s as fast as DCT but it’s not.

  • @kkp4297
    @kkp4297 Před 6 lety +12

    they nailed the design of the x3 this generation. proportions are perfect

  • @OverDrove
    @OverDrove Před 6 lety +50

    It doesn't have a DCT. It's the ZF8.
    Get your facts straight before a review bro.

  • @Ezekielo
    @Ezekielo Před 6 lety +140

    never been a fan of the X3 but this seems to have changed my mind. nice!

    First off, this is absolutely a beautiful SUV! It still amazes me how much technology they can fit in it. For your first official car review, you did pretty well. It also helped that the car was my favorite color too! Great cinematics in the video!

  • @snffz3492
    @snffz3492 Před 6 lety +36

    It's not a Dual Clutch DCT , it's a ZF 8 speed Automatic . DCT-s are for ///M Series :p (not all of them have DCT) .

    • @davis2920

    • @ardalanshabestari3437
      @ardalanshabestari3437 Před 6 lety

      the new M5 AWD has ZF8 transmission too. DCT is old school now and can't handle torque

    • @colsaffer
      @colsaffer Před 6 lety

      Stopped and did the same. Good first attempt but get all the car facts right and you will get car buffs paying more attention. Non-car enthusiasts won't give a damn.

    Great to see TO in the vid (I've spent my share of hours on that DVP). I just moved from Brampton to LA and, this morning, bought a CX5, sort of a very poor man's X3. Nice Vid, congrats.

  • @martynh5410
    @martynh5410 Před 6 lety

    Nice video, great job! It sure beats my old 2007 X3.
    One thing I found on another review "The M Performance Exhaust system is another winner in the X3 M40i, with a deep, growling sound. Engineers told us that the engine was tuned to misfire one cylinder to make the proper growling sound". Do they really create a misfire just to make that uneven growl when the throttle is lifted?

  • @colleasuncion4360
    @colleasuncion4360 Před 6 lety +1

    You did great for your first official review. Kick it into sport plus and you got the X3 M40i backfiring super loud.
    Missing bits:
    Sport mode = Plus or Individual
    Comfort = ....
    Eco = Eco Pro
    Great jobs! Keep it up.

  • @zhuchufeng670

    I’m pretty sure it’s not a DCT, the SAVs have torque converter automatics as this is better for towing and off roading or just hauling cargo.seconds is Max Plaid.

    @firstname7780 Před 6 lety

    Hey Carl, good review but ongoing issue, you have not mentioned the non-M steering wheel. Does it also mean non-M steering rack? Rumours point to M steering wheels being backordered on the production line. However, no way that wheel comes closer to the M steering feel if non coupled with the ZF rack. Even then...

  • @travel734
    @travel734 Před 6 lety +2

    Good video Karl. Apparently there is a lot more tech in the X3. It is a semi-autonomous vehicle. It can keep you in your lane and even make lane changes for you. No comments on your driving, but since this is a press car, it will / has been driven by a lot of other journalists. Can you publish the last few digits of the VIN? Apparently some manufacturers sell the press cars on to dealers who then sell to the public as "executive cars".
    Not sure that I would like to buy a car that starred on Top Gear lol

    The dealer tells me its not a "twin turbo" or bi-turbo. Rather it is a twin-vane turbo. One turbo; two vanes inside, each with different pitches designed to spool-up quickly at low RPM and, pump a large volume of air at higher RPM.
