I Drove The 2020 BMW X3M And Quickly Realized Why SUVs Are Taking Over (It's Not Why You Think)

  • I've never been the biggest fan of SUVs, but then I drove the 2020 BMW X3M Competition and immediately had a change of heart. There's a reason why regular car sales are plummeting while SUVs/Crossovers are rising in popularity. A compact SUV such as the X3M seems to do it all. It's practical, luxurious and can destroy some of the best sports cars around the track. Today you'll get to see some of my initial impressions of the BMW X3M and hopefully give you a better understanding as to why more people are choosing to buy SUVs.

    Nice review! You seem to drive a lot of nice cars and have nothing bad to say about the X3M. I have this and love it! I hate reviews that nit pick some things like suspension too firm. It is a true M not my M40I which I do miss the B58 low end torque and backfires but once you are going it walks almost evrything. Your eyes sum it up when you accelerate. It is hard to take in everything in going 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds! Thank you for reassurring me I own one of the most badass vehicles at any price!

      You mean the strut brace? It has strut braces. It’s just that they’re not fancy carbon strut braces and it doesn’t make a horseshoe shape. You can see them when the hood is open.

I settled with a ford explorer st and its been awesome and i plan on getting the new whipple intercooler for the car to fit on and improve my cars performance. After i get it installed and adjust my tune for e-85 ill be running 0-60 probably in less then 3.7 for where i live and cant wait for it.🤤🤤🤤

      Afrim Ademi bro you don’t need to buy brand new cars. My parents are car dealers and it’s not worth paying so much money because when you put 1 km or 1 mile the value of the car instantly drops. My advice is to buy a used car which is much cheaper than a new car. (If it’s in good condition)

      BLACK BIMMER I mean the Jeep won’t the first time, and the x4 M won the second because of weight it’s 500kg lighter, if they raced a X5 M it would be more fair
