Review | 2018 BMW X3 | Premium Promises

Back then the geese were less savage and more tame.

This video convinced me to order my ‘21 G01 M40i. I’ll be buying it out in 6 months as BMW ruined their lineup since.
“They don’t make ‘em like they used to” .. but six years ago :(

I was looking for a used suv weeks ago. I ended up buying a used 2019 X3 M40i. This channel to me the most trused channel. No other reviewer provide such balance reviews that cover all basis..

Un review tipic american.

Fantastic review!

Think I found my favorite reviewer. Love all the details you noticed like the quickness of the screen.

Kinda sounds like a Honda 4 Cylinder under heavy load.. Nice!

So this is better than the x1?

Seeing this in 2023, my god man, BMW used to be so great, HOW could they fall from grace so spectacularly just a couple of years after this? 😖😖

Watched the whole thing and he never made it to the gentleman’s club

Great review. Picking up an almost identical one today. Very similar options and packaging.

The quality of reviews/production on this channel is phenomenal!

If you like to toggle the HUD on and off (or any frequently used setting in iDrive), I hope you know you can assign any iDrive menu setting to one of the 1-7 numbers physical buttons.

I'm looking at a X3 40i . I guess that's a little overboard but why not 😎

I watch all your reviews. I agree that your reviews, overall, are the best. You make a great team.

The high collar on your coat makes you look badass dude. Really suits you

Good Vídeo

Even a brand new 1974 Chevy Vega or Ford Pinto has no creaks either Mark.

IPhone look like iPhone until they try to look like a Samsung.... 🤷‍♂️

BMW my favourites car

😘✅👍

How does the acoustic isolation compare with the Genesis GV70?

the tech is perfect. To do the routine stuff without being too tech savi you dont need to delve deep into the menus. To just drive it, its easy. All german cars are cheaper in base trim and add at least $15k to upgrade. Leather isn't standard, sunroof either. but stil the base car is very good. The engineering is still there. Hopefully as all cars become more reliable the repair bills although still big will be less frequent.

i saved the shortcut to turn off HUD, Number 7. Easy

Time for a new review of the X3? Maybe a comparison with XC60?

An excellent review. But technology is the future mate. IOS is much more complicated than this. But millions use it happily.

Grat review

Relevant commentary

Just sold a brand new, much more expensive Audi for one of these. The interface is like a decade ahead of Audi. Their menu structures make zero sense. Throw a lot of crap at the wall and see what sticks. BMW isn’t perfect by any means, but I no longer want to blow my brains out, which is definitely a plus.

What is the deal with piano black!!! Grrrr. Come on world, get rid of this on all cars. Ugh.

I love my X3 M40I. Speed and economy. Love the technology.

Nice review thanks. Just playing with you about the speed, but you were in a 45 zone doing 62 so just saying from a nasty judge perspective.

You can still get a ticket for being 1km over the limit

Lol you blocked the speed, so obviously you were over the limit

My next car will the 2018 as that was a big change from 2017, like mine from 2011 from 2010

I have a 2011 x3 300hp engine, would never buy it with 4 c, love my car have 170kilometers and no issues except for 1 sensor. Great car,had a audi a6 before and will drive a x3 the rest of my life. These cars do not rust at all. Amazing. Great powerful engine. X5 is too much car for me. X3 is a great balance. Buy one.

How did BMW for the 2018 N20 deal with the early timing chain failure/class action suit??

Thanks for the Videos !! , Love the under body shot!!! nobody does that but you ( I just drove my 2011 Toyota Rav4 V6 awd sport cross country over 10,000 miles and it drove amazing, but now i need something faster than 270HP lol, but with space, mmm grinding my teeth if I want to deal with BMW cost of ownership to buy a small suv with a real power ?? , all other companies have 4 popper with turbo =( .., great for driving at high elevation, but sucks on normal power ) ..

I just watched this again, you must be embarrassed now after gaining more familiarity?

Great review. I just can't see spending this much on a 4 cylinder when for a little bit more I can get twice as much vehicle (X5) with a 6 cylinder standard.

this intro put me to tears. Your quality is next level!

When I look at these reviews and look at below half million subs and then realize there are so many channels that fill in the reviews with too much fluff and gimmicks, it pains me in a way. Your reviews are so thorough, 360 degree perspective and will never come off just reading the catalogue. Keep up your great work. P,S: I am considering buying a 2021 X3 30i with M package, this is a 3 year old video, STILL wanted to know what you got to say on the older version,

I and my wife have been owning 3 BMWs, 2012-2015 (not including our next xDrive M40i). The maintenance is just average compared to owning a Mercedes or Audi, and slightly lower than owning a Porsche. Once the 3 years free manufacturer's maintenance (not warranty) runs out, the annual out of pocket costs for maintenance is about $1,300 to $1,500 for each of our BMWs. Not bad. If someone can afford a BMW, then this is the prestige of owning one. Same as if someone wants to fly first class, you gonna have to pay more for it. Right?

I watch a lot of car reviews and yours are hands down the best. The cinematography and music is top notch. You cover all the important features of the vehicle, you are not reticent to criticize something you think could be better. I appreciate you pointing out the various mechanical bits and the enhancements when the vehicle is on the hoist. You close with your final thoughts which provides a useful summary for the viewer. Plus, you have a great sense of humour and trigger a smile and laugh now and then. Great job! I look forward to your next review.

Absolutely magnificent SAV
Great review

Long intro
