    I enjoyed your review. I have just bought one and expect delivery at the end of May. Phytonic Blue, Black interior with blue stiching and the Ultimate Package. I can hardly wait to get my hands on it! Before I made my choice I test drove or researched the Macan, Volvo XC60, Mercedes GLC300 and AMG43, Lexus LS350, Audi Q5 and SQ5. The X3M40i brought the biggest smile to my face.

    BMW really did a fantastic job on the X3! So many manufacturers are producing little CUVs more and more. I believe that is what the majority of consumers are looking for. They fit the bill of most folks in the market need. Great video man!

    Recently purchased a 2018 x3 m40i and had a 2016 Porsche Macan S. I have not driven the x3 m40i much as of yet, but I will say.... initially it seems to be noticeably faster without hardly any turbo lag.
    Still loved the Porsche, but was a little on the smaller side and the x3 m40i is just about the perfect size for me personally. I am looking forward to driving the BMW more and really see how it performs.

    1 and 1/2 years with ours and we both love this car. The m40 I package makes driving in the Colorado mountains a pleasure. We now have put 20000 fun miles of driving on our X3

      Rod Lawrence does yours have the adaptive dampers? My 2018 does not and all I’ve seen at dealerships don’t seem to have the adaptive dampers either. I keep hearing they are a game changer and honestly for the $500-$700 up charge seems silly that more aren’t equipped with these from the factory. Going into the winter months we purchased a set of 19 in rims and all weather tires and I must say a world of difference from the 21 in. run flats. I’m just curious how much the dampers really impact the drive since it seems to me that if they are so crucial to the ride comfort, why aren’t more M40i built/shipped with them?

    very good review, i think this model needed all these upgrades to the M performance. however i think what would make this model even better is a feature the Macan has which is the adjustable height control since this is not really an off roader, would be nice to have that option. so i might consider this to replace my 1st Gen Acura RDX which i have enjoyed for almost 11 yrs even though it is still a great performer as well as super reliable. but this X3 is definitely impressive. thanks for a great review.

    2 things to be aware of, if you order this car with the ventilated seats option, do not expect any seat bolstering. Those seats suck on this m themed bmer! Also, if you get the towing package, you will lose the foot motion tailgate opening feature.

      The iDrive with touchscreen and super easy-to-use navigation was a key reason I bought the M40i over the GLC or SQ5. Finally, one of the top 3 German manufacturers has a simple to use navigation system! I took delivery 3 days ago and the new car has been awesome.

    Best car I’ve ever owned. BMW did SO MUCH here. It’s worth every penny. I drove everything in the class. Nothing offers ALL the x3m40i does. It is th best well-rounded choice in the segment. It’s also the fastest to 60, stops around 150ft, while literal click of the button either turns this thing WILD or into a luxury suv. I couldn’t be happier. No problems. Already have 20k on it. Still same rubber, too. This is a sleeper (even tho m performance line, it puts up numbers and feels like it driving that go up against much stronger alternative in Hp/tq, i think this is MUCH CLOSER TO ITS FATHER THE X3M, it’s just tooooo far away from the normal x3) and I think it might be amongst BMWs best vehicle on sale now. Nothing checks as many boxes as this car. Bmws are expensive. This is expensive. BUT, is worth it all, is a SOLID VEHICLE INVESTMENT that literally performs near M level, while providing BMW luxury just the same.

      Polar Bear if you are going x3m40i - the x3 is better and incredible. Best car I have owned to date. And I’ve had many. If you are doing the 3 m40i, then I would say it’s a matter of preference however the 3 has all the new updated tech, dash, design elements and so forth. That said, I really can’t express enough just how good the x3m40i. It is the absolute best in the segment. It gives you just so much behind the wheel, on top of giving you lux cruising. You must get the adaptive m suspension, I consider that an ultimate option that compliments these vehicles so much more.

    Disappointed. Was really expecting to hear how you felt about your feet, in the back, under the driver's seat. There was no mention on how it felt. In terms of rear feetroom, was it a confined feeling or an improvement from the previous X3 models? The rest of the review was impressive in relation with how you had the right balance of covering the general features awhile not delving too deep into details, just enough to cover what was really important and necessary to know to travel safely.

That definitely is frustrating.. My M40i will arrive soon, in a few more days hopefully. Not having Android Auto wasn't a deal breaker but it's definitely something BMW needs to sort out. Soon.

      Forrest's Auto Reviews I’m sorry but it’s yourself that is wrong. Bmw has moved away from the n55 for a couple years now, the new modular series is the ‘B’ range, so B38 is theire 1.5L 3cyl petrol engine, B48, 2L 4cyl petrol engine (really good engine used in the jcw mini) and finally the engine that is in this car the B58, a 3L 6cyl twin power turbo. Unfortunately your commenter was correct, this does not share much with the m2, however the B58 and B series have INCREDIBLE tune-ability, the B48 in the mini jcw makes 230hp stock, after a remap, can safely make 300hp. Likewise with the B58, a remap or even a plug and play tune will got you over 400hp, likewise with the torque. Amazing engine! The b58 is where it’s at. Great review bro, new subscriber
