Congrats Max on new ride, curious if you have any opinions if 22model is doing any better on gas mileage? I notice its rated a tad better than my 20yr. X3m and if I recall you did some extensive reporting on gas mileage with your x3m in the past. Sure would be nice if it does with the price of gas out here in Cali. with my consideration of upgrading. thx

Thanks for this great write-up. Fantastic thread.
I am about to order a 2022 X3MC (I think). How long did your build process take? I've had two dealers tell me 8-12 weeks. Today, a smaller dealer told me 6-8...MONTHS. He then implied the other dealers were lying to me for quoting a shorter build time. How was your experience, time-wise? |

We do have Driving Assistance Professional Package 'ZDY', which includes Extended Traffic Jam Assistant '5AR' and Active Driving Assistant Professional '5AU'. Have only used it for about 40 miles so far as I'm hitting a lot of the back roads to get RPM variations in, rather than using Interstate right now. But it clearly is a more capable system than what I have in my 2020 F97. I can definitely see using this on those long Hwy drives. And to be able to even briefly use your turn signal and then have it move you over into the next lane seems amazing to me (not used to this kind of tech). It also handles many different curves at various speeds well without ping-ponging to keep between the lines. It must have a much improved processor as well to handle the additional input Tim mentions above. It still occ wanders to follow a turn off lane when you lose the right lane stripe, but I quickly intervene so I'm not sure if it knows to catch that or not, but suspect it would. And note in the picture I'm not advocating setting cruise higher than posted speed limits, but at this point I was trying out the manually adjustable increase and decrease speed function on the steering wheel to slowly ease past the vehicle on the right. |

I agree that the taillights are taking some time for me to get use to. It was cheaper to keep the pano roof so I have it. The BG color is growing on me but I would have liked it better with less battleship blue. None the less everyone says they like it.

Nice write up as always Max. The wheels really make the car. They did a better job on the front and rear IMO than they did on the non-M versions. In particular, I like that they integrated the rear reflectors in the area where the fake rear vents now reside on the non-M versions. Congrats on the new ride and enjoy!

Yeah, it seems this will be the main talking point on the LCI's exterior design changes. They must have their reasons for going in that direction. I'm still partial to my 2020's taillight aesthetic, but it clearly didn't stop us from trading in my wife's to get one without a pano.
The ride quality issue has been discussed over and over... A number of us haven't had significant issues with the pre-LCI, but some have. After the Mar '20 ISTA-P update there was a noticeable improvement (to us) in the ride and this carries it forward. We only have about 750 miles in the LCI so over time it usually softens, but it rides fine for us now. This is definitely something one has to test for themselves and not just read what others think to skew their view. |

In full agreement, but I went from a 2020 X3M non-comp to a 2021 X3M Comp so the difference is drastic. Won't bore you with all the improvements but the biggest eye opener is that in exactly the same driving my gas mileage went up almost 3 mpg

I must say this is the first time I've seen someone replace a 1 year old car to get rid of a moonroof....
