The X3M is the least represented vehicle in auto journalism history. Seriously, every time it's the X4M.

Great video. Always enjoy the banter between Mat and Yanni.

I think a mid to late 11 secs 1/4 shows the performance of the x4m (almost same car as x3m apart from rear quarter) it's great.
The brakes to me are superb but don't have much to compare to, kills speed - disks do look massive |

The S58 simply outclasses the competition. If this is the last BMW inline 6 cylinder engine it's good to see them go out with a bang.

Sadly I agree. In October I did an HPDE day including emergency braking maneuvers where the brakes were disappointing. Maybe it's the pads though because on track at speed they felt very good heated up. Around town they feel nice and responsive but I'm never testing threshold braking.

That being said, upgrade the pads to a better semi-metallic. |

I was suprsed and start to investigate the problem, so 1. Yes, x3m has a big rotor and big brake caliper, BUT WITH SUPER SMALL PAD look a the picture bellow: That's why the breaks feels so bad, even with their sizes. After installing brembo 8 piston kit car has comletly different behavior on braking, especially when u brakes on high speed. If you check picture bellow, u will find answer, u have 8 pistion and 4 pads instead of 2!! This is proper brakes for the car, shame to bmw, that they put so weak brakes( STOCK SIZE: 395x36mm 4 Piston BREMBO KIT: 412x38 8 piston |

The only reason I want to go Brembos is because they are unbelievably sexy. I just wished someone sold a red rear caliper so I don't have to go through the hassle of painting them myself or losing weeks to have them powder coated.
