Video Review of my X3M

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Eventually I'll get there with the video quality, so bare with me, I'm just getting started with YouTube. Regardless, I hope you enjoy!

Outstanding job! Finally a review from an actual F97 owner! Would be nice to put this on the main page.

Thanks, I truly am very happy with the car.

Dethsupp0rt · 04-25-2020, 06:28 PM

Nice job.

I agree about the ride. I have no idea what people are complaining about. They apparently expect M cars to ride like their non-M brethren or something, and all the non-M cars have become way too soft recently.

It used to be you could buy any BMW and have a sporty car, but that's not the case any more. Leave the M cars like they are please.

Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new M3 is with the S58 setup as well. I currently have a 2019 M240i and am debating upgrading next year. On the fence between the X3M and the new M3. Decisions, decisions! Thanks for sharing!

Right. I didn't buy an x3mc and expect to have a floaty luxury car

Well done, nice review!

I spy with my little eye....crest hollow country club on Jericho Tpke. Got married there. Lol
Great review....and I agree with others.... the reviews from actual owners are much more honest because we have time to get to know and understand and most importantly appreciate the vehicle for what it is. it’s also nice to see a review through the eyes of someone who has owned other m cars.

Exactly, it makes no sense. I think people forget this is an M car, and everything that comes with it. You wouldn't complain about the ride in an M3, so don't complain about it here.

Ah wow, yes, good eye! Hopefully, given my past F80 ownership, this can provide some good insight.

That was my favorite part of the video!

Xnfris · 04-26-2020, 12:48 PM

Nice review. Totally agree about ride comfort.

And you are proof that BMW drivers do actually use turn signals. Lol

Hah, I almost made a comment about that in the video, because I always use them. I was waiting for someone to say something

Something similar happened to my 'X3MC Delivered' thread back in Sep 2019. Jason indicated that sometimes threads are put in a queue to go live a day or so later, so suspect it should be showing up soon.

And thanks for your great video!
