2020 X3MC purchased!

STi from DSM · 12-15-2021, 09:36 PM

Hey guys, after looking for my next vehicle I finally landed on the 2020 X3M Competition. I had been needing more room than my current RS3.
I will be picking it up either Friday or Saturday this week. 16k miles for $69k. Great price, low miles, and in Black Saphire Metallic color.

I will post more pics when I get it.

Super excited!

Congrats! Nice Color

Same move I made...I do miss the sound of the RS3 to be fair but the X3M is brilliant

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Looks mean in black, 2020 is the best model year IMO.

Me too. Spot on on the sound, but that's all I really miss.

Coming from my track exhaust on my RS3, and well really every car I own, lol. It will be a transition to normal sport exhaust again. I never leave my vehicles with stock exhaust for very long though, and will plan to get exhaust as soon as money allows. This X3MC has everything that I am looking for, so I think it will be tough to beat in the future if I start to shop around. (Which happens about every 15 ish months) I didn't have the itch until just recently.

Here are the latest pictures. Was able to score some Niche 20x9.5 rims with Hakka R3's to get it back on the road in the winter.

*Note, I did drive home with the stock summer performance tires on it in 4 inches of snow. That was interesting, but taking it slow and Xdrive helped a lot. The first place I went was Discount Tire. This thing is amazing! Loving it so far!

Guess I’m not the only one making the switch from that sweet Audi 5cyl! Picking up a 2020 X4M this week and coming from a TTRS. Big difference I know.

STi from DSM · 12-20-2021, 10:39 PM

It's just nice to have space. The RS3 was an amazing machine. I really did like it. With the track exhaust too made it almost perfect. I wish they would stop making vehicles with these stupid flapper valves. I didn't buy this car to have quiet exhaust, and I wish when you pressed the exhaust button the valves stayed ALL the way open ALL the time. Currently looking into the ways to trick the system into them being open all the time until I get new exhaust. How you liking the X4M compared to the TTRS?

Here's a big thread on it:
