FWIW, I don't own an X3 - my beautiful wife does. She rarely lets me drive it and she absolutely forbade me putting in a tune and taking it to the track. So I guess if I'm ever in Florida with my car and we bump into each other we can have a go at it. My car has a tune. Here's one of the pulls. I'm easily recognized. I'm the one behind the camera:

If you avoid the crowd of people you may have a snowball's chance in hell at putting a gap on Riick's X3 LMAO!
In all seriousness that bad boy sounds mean AF! Wanna do a reverse roll race some time? Quote:

Sound compliments of 17psi MAP, Kooks headers, no cats, Magnaflow resonators before the axle, Magnaflow Magnapacks after, and Ford Racing supercharger gear whine.

You are pulling numbers from thin air, just because a front page of bimmerpost forum has a few N55 issues does not mean anything. In fact, it means that BMW probably sold more N55 engine x3 models and thus there is a lot more people out there beating on them. And I'd rather change the water-pump twice than a chain failure once. Plus only girls drive N20 BMWs hence why non of them are on here modding

With a 95mph trap speed, I don't think you'll hit 13s. It's amazing you hit 14.6 - that must have been a hell of a launch.

I don’t think so, but I think women drive crossover SUVs - and by that measure, all these guys in here bragging are on the same level in my book.

I sold my 3 series specifically for an X3 because I tow every weekend and needed 3500lb capacity and AWD for slippery boat ramps.
I would venture to say that 99% of x3 owners don't do any kind of "utility" with their X3 other than being a soccer mom. |

Wait... If you bought your X3 just to tow why did you buy the lowest AWD model? If you were going to tow wouldn't you want more torque, power, and a timing chain that wouldn't eject its self spontaneously? yes.

-The thread title was '' Female driver SUV choice?''. -A member answer back : '' what the hek this title makes the choice any different ''? - Huge offtopic, with some inappropriate comments, but at the end, ''white, base, automashit, 4cyl with gps'' - The member bought a white X1 to his wife. I thought in 2018 those kind of discussion were inappropriate ? lol Last edited by oVeRdOsE.; 11-27-2018 at 08:15 AM.. |

There's maybe 1000 cases of the N20 timing chain breaking worldwide. Out of the millions of N20's on the road? What's that? 0.01% of vehicles affected? I sleep good at night. |

While I applaud the use of your X3, driving on a high way with a SxS behind you is not exactly comparable to a slippery up hill boat ramp. In the latter situation, you'd definitely notice and need that extra power and torque of an N55!

N20 = 245hp 258lb torque. N55 = 302hp 295lb torque. 50hp and 37lb torque is BARELY noticable by even the most experienced drivers. A $200 JB+ brings the N20 to 260hp and 303lb torque. So explain to me what torque I am missing because I make more than a stock 35i with $200 part that took 3 minutes to install. The more amazing part is... A X3 28i is on average about $4000 cheaper than a 35i. So for $200 you can have more torque than a 35i for towing and put the $3800 in your savings account. I'll let you in on a secret, I knew that before I purchased my X3 that's why I got the N20.
Yes I notice the AWD helps a ton on slippery boat ramps. The instant torque bias to the front axle as saved my ass more than once. Last edited by Riick; 11-28-2018 at 10:50 AM.. |

And FWIW, my race gas tune gives me 50 more rear wheel HP. It is quite noticeable.

It was 45 degrees where I am at this morning! Boost season is in full swing!

Wasted $200? What do you run? As it stands I'm the top 3 fastest F25 in this forum with any engine and the 11th fastest N20 powered vehicle on this whole website, against all chassis.
What can you say about your X3 other than it's got chinese knock off rims? Last edited by Riick; 11-28-2018 at 06:01 PM.. |
