Hi,
You beat me to it!
I was just about to post a link to this new video!
Good (not really unexpected) result!
Cheers
Steve

Great video. That registration plate looks familiar - it's not belonging to someone here?

I love that CarWOW guy, all his videos are just soo cool. He should be on TV.

spangle1980 · 07-02-2020, 05:01 AM

I did not expect that result!!! More interestingly is how the M340i destroys the S4 and others in the linked video. Ohhh to have a job playing with cars.

Shit - sorry to post again, I just watched the end. It's PETE FROM PETROL HEAD TOURS on here. PETE YOU'RE MY NEW HERO.

Wow. Get it?! If my X3 ran those #s stock it would be for sale after 1K mile break in. As always cool video from Matt.

Not really a surprising result, but good on the X3 nonetheless.

Eddien123 · 07-02-2020, 11:41 AM

Funny that Matt mentioned safety for Volvo about the seatbelts. Volvo is a very safe car but in that particular scenario the Volvo would've slammed into the back of someone (thankful the seatbelts were ready for a collision) where as the bmw would've avoided the accident all together.

BN325i · 07-02-2020, 11:41 AM

As per usual, the better car wins

notyourdadsf86 · 07-06-2020, 02:59 PM

Would have liked the SQ5 instead of normal Q5, but glad to see the X3 hold its own regardless.

M2Andy · 07-07-2020, 01:46 PM

I’d like to see a side by side of a standard m40i against a jb4 or bm3 but haven’t managed to find one yet.

I recognised the petrolhead sticker!!!!

Think you sat in mine at Dunblane Hydro a while ago when you were on a tour!

The Q5e and SQ5 are very similar in terms of performance, especially from a dig. I believe there's even a video online of an SQ5 vs Q5e and the Q5e wins.
I have an SQ5 and I had an extended test drive of the X3 M40i. The X3 M40i is faster any which way you look at it (drag/roll/WOT w/o brake boosting).

The hybrid is faster than the current SQ5...
