2022 BMW X3 M40i - You DON'T NEED The X3M

This is my 2022 BMW X3 M40i Review! In this video, I will give you a full tour of the BMW X3 2022 and I will tell you why you don't need to go for the BMW X3M. The 2022 BMW X3 receives a few upgrades on the inside along with an exterior facelift.

One of the most interesting things about the BMW X3 G01 is the interior volume. The BMW X3 interior is very spacious. However, the X3 2022 is still missing some modern tech like a wireless charger. But focusing on the BMW X3 M40i - this thing pumps out 382-hp and goes from 0 to 60 in 4.4 secs. After driving the 2022 BMW X3 M40i, you will start to feel like you don't even need to go for the X3M. In this review, I will also talk about the BMW X3 vs Audi Q5 battle as well as the BMW X3 vs Mercedes-GLC battle. I was never really a fan of this thing but after driving the BWM X3 2022 for a week - it has won me over. Let's take a closer look at the BMW X3 M40i!

I have the new 2022 BMW X3 M40i (less than a month purchased), and I absolutely love it! It is an eye catcher and it can live up to all expectations.

I've had my Phytonic blue X3 M40i for 2 years...would still never trade it for the the Glc43, Audi Sq5 or other equivalent. Best in class performance and practicality. It's a no brainer and the perfect all rounder! The rear leg room is only slightly less than an X5 but the X3 is way more agile at 1.8 tonnes. The X3M is about 250kg heavier and the comfort ride is too harsh

I have the 2021 BMW X3M40i with sport suspension and sport differential and 20" wheels. I love it. My best gas mileage is 29.8mpg @ 75mph in the Eco Mode. Note that this gas mileage was the gas mileage overall while on a vacation to Wyoming from Indiana and return. I love the cornering and performance. So far, my fastest speed is 147. I wanted to go faster but traffic prevented it. I've driven the M340i and glad now that I bought the X3M40i. I plan to order another X3M40i.

We have a 2021 and we love it. So happy to have bought one. Lots of power and it's giving us 28 mpg with our driving.

i just picked up my 2022 x3 m40i after trading in my 2020 rdx advance. Glad i made the change.

0:13 Thank you! Finally someone has mentioned that the LCI G01 rear tail lights look like the Halo energy sword! That's all I see.

Had mine for coming on 3 years and it’s quick enough for most situations and still remain legal.

I have this vehicle in 2019 . It is fast, sounds awesome, actually pretty good on gas, high level fit and finish . Not much more you can ask . Now the negatives . Don’t have a BMW dealer nearby so took it to a familiar VW dealership for an oil change . After 6 hours they called back and said they couldn’t change my oil . They said to remove the oil filter required a special wrench or socket that BMW would not sell them . I was at Costco one day and using their reference booklet bought some windshield wipers only to find out that the Wipers have a proprietary connection and those needed to be purchased from BMW as well . Next, front and rear tires are staggered sizes meaning you can’t rotate for even wear . Plan on replacing all of your tires every three oil changes . I have less than 40, 000 kms, have a dedicated set of winter tires and wheels so my summers haven’t even been on the vehicle full time . BMW recommends replacing tires once the difference in tread depth exceeds 2/32 nds difference . This car has a rear power bias meaning the rear tires wear down much quicker than the fronts . This is my wife’s daily driver so it is not driven harder other than when I get to drive it every two weeks or so . You can’t just replace the rears or so the service people say because putting new rears on, will tilt the tread depth difference the other way and would still be hard on the differential . 1100 dollars for two rear tires but that doesn’t even solve your problem . If someone purchases your vehicles and shows patronage to your brand, why would a manufacturer lay out all the land mines unknown to the purchaser ? It seems like trickery and a poke in the eye .

Having a Porsche is always my DREAM. Yet as a meek old guy, I really don’t need anything more than around 300 hp. Thus, I would have cayenne base and s trim options. My son tested cayenne and didn’t like Porsche’s driver interface (everything was controlled by touch screen, unlike bmw’s iDrive wheel), therefore my comparable option would be x3 m40i. I can go up to M comp but really don’t need that much hp. I still miss my Porsche dream but 500 hp on the daily commute.. it’s impractical.

[andreipretorius]

Great review. We also test drove the Audi and merc. Found the audi to be too pricey due to the chip shortage. The merc was so eager all the time. The Bmw was a great balance.

[kurtkaster]

It's not just about the power, I came to realize. My M850i is so fast, I just miss the things you can adjust with the full M car. If the M40i had all the adjustments and the ability to program something other than "sport individual" maybe you wouldn't need the M. But it doesn't, so you need the M. I loved my X4M40i, but like all of us eventually, I just wanted more!!!

[gilbertortiz]

I have the M40i and this dude is spot on the difference in horsepower and fuel efficiency is not worth the money over the Competition

[moularyves]

I played Halo when I was little and I cannot unsee those taillights

[Apex-pred]

The exhaust sounds like it came right out of need for speed rivals aha

[BobsGT]

Nobody needs a full "M" vehicle. The person who buys an "M" vehicle wants an "M" vehicle.
There is a huge difference from the M sport models like the M40i in your review.
But the M sport models are a good choice for most people.

[SaintAnix.]

Great car, but to say it's superior to the X3M is just wrong.

The 2 benefits of of the M40i are a slightly more wafty smooth ride which may or may not be your cup of tea as a daily. And of course the price.

If you can afford it and can find it, the X3M all the way. Heck, resale value alone makes this a better option.

But this car is great in either spec.

[PwnageUser]

One of the best reviews out there yet - thank you!

[jonm.]

As a Halo fan, I think I need this car just for the energy sword taillights. I have a 340i and an X3 M40i would basically be a more practical version of what I already own and love.

[noizychild]

Yes! Ii said Halo sword when I first looked at pictures. Glad you recognize this lol

[itswhip]

Nice spec! Got the same paint & seat color with the carbon fiber trim. Not a huge fan of the facelifted G01 M40i but definitely jealous of the mirrors.
