Where would you guys place this relative to the 2019 RDX? You had said in that review it was Macan GTS > Acura RDX > BMW X3. And then in this video said the GTS was much better than the M40i. Was curious about where the RDX slots in terms of driving and overall when considering things all up, tech/luxury/comfort/driving.

Zac Boller iirc they said the AWD (and by extension the handling) waa better in the Acura not the overall vehicle. Pretty sure the the current gen Acura doesn't have a performance oriented variant so not really a fair comparison unless you're one of those weird people who doesn't care about speed. Sure that pretty much describes this segments target demographic but that's besides the point. I think the savagegeese review might be more helpful for that comparison since he did the 30i. I picked the BMW because of the performance variant. They also share engine with the 3/4 series 40i versions so aftermarket support is popping if you find a 4 second 0-60 to be a bit pedestrian. Also BMW rear biases their AWD which makes it more fun (although more challenging) to drive in snow. Right now if you want performance its this the SQ5 or the Macan GTS which stickers at almost 70k usd. The SQ is the only other one id take but the reliability and maintnance of VAG cars steers me away every time. I do like the looks of the Acura better though but definitely doesnt have the midrange pull this does.

Yuri & Jakub, I love how you guys did this review by really not just reading it off of a list of BMW options, but interacting with each other all the way. That's a better and more informative way of doing the review of the X3 M40i, fun to watch and very easy to understand what you will truly get from this car, as well as the pros and cons. Keep it up guys!

Thanks for the entertaining review guys. It's amazing to see how far the X3 has come. My uncle bought tht first gen for his son. My mom bought one shortly thereafter ( for me essentially when I graduated from college), just a different color. It had no tech at all. We still have it - the one thing I still appreciate about it is that it drives more like a car than SUVs or SAV as BMW advertised back then. I recall that car reviewers were never fond of the X3, so I'm glad it's become more popular the last several years. And yeah it does look a lot better.

Guys, great comprehensive review, touching on all aspects. The reason I would choose the m40i besides the ride and infotainment is its space compared to rivals. Biggest trunk in its class. Well rounded speedy family car.

I saw this last week, decided to trade in my 2016 X3 28i and get the 2018 X3 M40i, loaded! I followed Jakub’s advice and definitely got the M40i. WOW, this is a rocket ship! Love it. Thanks for the best reviews on the Web.

You both have good points about the difference in the Macan and the X3 M40i but based on my own personal needs and lifestyle, my hat goes off to the X3... Simply because it can boogie almost as well as the Macan while maintaining a lot more usability in everyday conditions especially when dealing with interior space and comfort.

X3 m40i is faster than the Macan S.

Great Video, guys. I recently got mine 3 months ago and its an absolute monster. No complaints so far. BMW did a great job with this one.

Great review! I have owned a Macan S, and now own the x3 m40i. I love the X40i-beats the Macan in comfort, tech, luxury and overall drivability. And in sport mode it’s feels faster.

Such compatible reviewers- I legit live for this channel! Great job guys!!

This is on my short list and I'm really glad you reviewed it. Very good perspective, which echoes what I felt, and a top notch entertaining review as usual! One thing about the Macan GTS though, is if you load it with the same options as your test model (brown full leather seats, ventilation, sunroof, 360, etc...), the MSRP climbs to 93 000, a substantial difference. At 76 000, you will have a really cool bare bones sports SUV or a very capable luxurious SUV. Decisions decisions!

I actually just picked up a used 2019 x3 m40i last week. It's my new daily driver and I love it!

I have a friend who bought one of these. He’s a Porsche guy and always wanted a Macan. However, I said the exact same things you did when I went to the BMW dealer with him. This is a “practical” Macan. It’s better at the SUV part, yet it does deliver good performance. It’s also so much cheaper to lease than a Macan.

Great video. I own the 2019 version. Love it so far. But good points made throughout the video. appreciate the time taken to talk about it all!

It’s almost like a big hatchback. I definitely like these more than the even numbered bmw x cars

Best car reviewers. I watch your videos from beginning to end everytime. Love your guys' review style and personalities. Keep it up!!

Wow !!! this thing is a rocket ship. So very fast, handles great, so much power - effortless speed - the best car I have ever owned !!! 4.6 seconds 0 to 60. It's loaded with all the BMW "toys". Something nice and new to play with. While driving on I 75 this weekend, this thing was "cruising easily" at 92 MPH while running at 2,200 rpms. Nice !!!

I’d get the BMW, especially because you cannot order ANY Porsche cars in Germany at the moment, and probably not until the end of the year at best due to problems meeting the new exhaust regs.

I have been hoping you guys would do a review of the X3 M40i for so long! Especially since I know you’d talk more about the cray tech inside. I just put in my order for a 2019 M40i and can’t wait for it to arrive!!

I was thinking either to buy BMW X3 or Toyota Lexus NX300h. However, after watching many videos especially yours one made me to select BMW X3. I am very happy with my brand new car. Thank you for your great video.

Gerstenprinz I think if you parked them side by side the BMW would be the more striking vehicle, but they are both good looking in their own ways. The Porsche design cues from the 911 helps all their stuff look purposeful I find, but the BMW in this trim has a bit of tasteful bling that gives it the edge. I guess thats why both of them are going to sell pretty good. I have a Grand Cherokee, just to say I’m not a BMW fan boy.

I bought the X3 30i as well. I’ve had it for a month and find the high tech stuff pretty easy to use. The engine has plenty of get up and go. As the boys say, the lumbar adjustment sucks. I wish that the front seats were more comfortable. They are The ventilated kind, which are firmer than the non-ventilated ones. Seat comfort is the only somewhat disappointing feature of the car. I’ve ordered some sheepskin seat covers to hopefully increase seat comfort.

Another great video guys! At the end of the video, Yuri says "911 or bust". (15:22) I'd like to see a comparison video between a Cayman GTS and a baseline 911.

Wow this exhaust is amazing. The fact that they have the customization means you can set it up how you want that is the future not needing improvement. The complaints are completely subjective and very nit picky. I am not a BMW fan boy I never owned one. I just looked at and test drove a bunch of luxury vehicles this 2019 BMW M40i was by far the best with one exception the Land Rover valar was a close 2nd but a completely different driving experience. I think I will be getting my 1st BMW. I love this thing amazing.

Totally agree with Yuri about the design of this car, the new X5 finally breaks some of the mold of the same old BMW interior finally

I had exactly this question several month ago, BMW X3 M40i or Porsche Macan GTS. Since I experienced the current Macan and it is so low tec, my choice was done quickly. I come from X3 F25 and the new G01 is unbelievable better in every aspect. Good job bmw.

Great review guys. Here in Montreal there was a fully equipped 2018 demo model for sale back in December with about 2k kms and was selling for over $10K off list in blue. All the M badging and upgraded interior. BMW unfortunately never told me (because presumably they didn't let their Canadian sales people know) that the sale was ending on Dec 31 contrary to the USA where it stayed on until the car shows where they were giving an additional 1% rebate on the interest rate for a lease. I would've loved one but there's always next year. But honestly I'm not that unhappy that I didn't get the X3 because I got a great deal on an X1 and I have to say I'm very very happy with this peppy SUV. it's smaller, easier to park. Drives like a car and is fully equipped except for Apple Car Play...Just got it 2 months ago and I'm very impressed. The only vehicle that I've brought home new and there were 0 defects aside from my toy: 2012 G37xS Coupe (Red / never winter driven)! AND this bimmer came with features besides all the other tech safety gizmos: Auto Self Parking....very cool and I didn't know that it this feature. You can also add programmable features to the vehicle; I would highly recommend going to see a pro rather than buying the app and bluetooth dongle. There are a lot of hidden convenience features, screen add-ons and HUD add ons. Like the 5 and 7 series such as: When you approach your car in the summer by clicking the remote and holding down the unlock button for about 10 - 15 seconds the car will: unlock, mirrors unfold, all 4 windows will open, the sunshade will retract and the sunroof will open which will help to cool down it down. Holding the lock button or the convenience handle for a few seconds will close everything up too. In fact you can use the android or apple connect app to unlock and lock the doors, open the windows, toot the horn and flash the headlights: Useful features is you're trying to find your car in the mall parking lot and forgot exactly where you left it. You can also upload a map destination to the car so that you can plan your trip ahead of time. And my favorite: There's a timer for turning on the car ventilation system...so cool of the car. Also you can close the vehicle by the handle and program to have a 2 second delay to fold the mirrors so you can choose to fold them or not depending....And my satellite has rewind so I can play several tunes over again if I hear something I like. The upgraded infotainment system is good enough and you won't hear a difference with the upgraded sound system and the $1200 Harmon Kardon system. Pioneer just introduced a tweeter kit that's very elegant looking given their reputation that is specifically introduced to this market. $90 for 2 tweeters and about the same installation costs. They get wired to the mids in the door. They tweeters are installed in the corner plastic in the front ot the front doors where the exterior rearview mirrors are. They drill 3 holes to mount the tweeters over the plastic covers. These tweeters give better upper mids and highs and for a fraction of the HK system. Bimmian automotive from Toronto sells aftermarket parts for Bimmers including LED kits; I changed my fogs to LED and my front and rear turn signals, and my backup lights. Oddly the license plate lights are already LED. Now here's the best part: Pay attention: The tech that adds your programmable features can do this with the ODB II port: Put the lighting system to LED so that you don't need a resistor install! Yes the BMW engineers weren't sure in their CANBUS system if the car would be released with LEDs or regular bulbs so there's an option for that. That way after installation you won't get the error codes or LED flashes when you first start the car. And one final cool feature: The split screen on the upgraded screen allows you to change the view on the right hand side of the split screen. You can scroll through a variety of options such as a clock, distance computer, fuel mileage, additional navigation features, and media. You also get the HP and TQ gauges when you're in sports mode. Another cool feature that I added: When backing up the door handle lights come on to help illuminate the surroundings and alert other drivers. ENJOY!

The x3 is punching well above it's weight here. It's definitely better than the Macan in outright performance. The Macan GTS edges it but stickers 15k higher. The m40i msrps closer to the base Macan. It definitely doesn't have sport car handing but you can stand on it from a standstill and it can plant all the power it has. Even with a tune it has no problem planting power. It launches harder than my Coyote Mustang which is pretty crazy considering it's heavier and putting down less power. Kind of disappointed they haven't put out a true M version of the x3 but this is a pretty good sleeper specially since 99% of the ones I see are 30i or 28i (for the F25s). I'm just thankful it shares engine platform with other BMWs which means it gets aftermarket support because of the 3/4 series. I like the Macan look way better but it's definitely more of a sporty suv than a multi purpose one.

Macan GTS hands down not just due to driving dynamics but also reliability and build quality. For the cost of the BMW I'd opt for a E class wagon or XF Wagon if I needed to do any kid hauling. Better yet, a CX5 then spend the rest on a ND Miata with enough left over for tires and brake pads! I've really enjoyed seeing this channel progress keep up the good work!

Just a note, the subcategories in the driving modes “stick”. So, say, to get to SPORT INDIVIDUAL, you only need to tap SPORT once next time, if INDIVIDUAL was the last mode you had selected. Great review, by the way. I agree with pretty much all you said, and I’m with Yuri in this one.

The lane keep assist part of the Driving Assistant Plus package actually steers the car compared to other lane keep assist that merely correct you back into the lane. Maybe that’s why you think it’s too “active”

I’ve not driven either one, and while I like the smallish X3 SUV, I’d probably buy the Macan, which seems like it drives sportier or more car-like. But among BMW crossovers and SUVs, I think the X3 is the sweet spot.

I love the music 🎶 in the intro 🤗, nice & smooth 😬

Macan all the way. The X3 has always had reliability issues (something I wish you guys would talk about in your videos).

I could watch these videos all day

I think I’d take the X3 M40i over the Macan. Also keep in mind that there are other costs besides just the MSRP.

get one as a dealer loaner for right about 42k with less than 5k miles and full warrenty and its the best price/power tech option available. I just got one this way, super impressed with it so far.

Love your reviews. Always fun and informative. Love this SUV. Great looks and power. However, the Mercedes GLC43 AMG is better on the inside and outside. Better than the Macan as well. More brutal and fun to drive. Cheers guys!

Arman Talwar All the X3s have not had great back seats. Had a first gen 2006 X3 and my God those back seats were horrid

Macan GTS. However, there's going to be a lot more incentives with the BMW so it might not be a fair comparison.

Take a closer look at the visor test. While the visors extend they don't extend far enough to block the entire side window. The two inch gap drives me nuts because the sun always seems to find it's way there. My guess- When BMW changed the X3 body style for 2017, they either intentionally used the old stock visors or they missed that detail and chose not to fix it. Really like the car though.

I'd like to see the box test upgraded to the golf clubs test. More of us want to know if our clubs will fit, than how many blue bins will fit.

Camera shots are so goood also like the car

Damn those peasant blockers looks legit! Another awesome video! But for price it is definitely expensive. If I am in the market for an SAV this would be the first I go to.

I got to test one of these and one of the BMW guys scolded me for calling it Augmented Reality hahah must be some legal jargon. Either way this thing was peppy and fun for a family hauler. I had similar opinions to you guys! Great video!

Definitely this over the Macan, because of the engine alone! Had it had the legendary flat-six, it would have been a dead heat, but no other six-pot compares to BMW's venerable inline. It's also much more practical. If you're in it mainly for the sportiness, just buy a proper low-slung car! The 40i is more about mimicking the performance of a 4-liter NA motor, despite having a 3-liter turbo. The same goes with the lower 30i, which is a blown 2-liter giving pretty much the outputs of a 3-liter without forced induction.

Not bad for an SUV as far as they go. Great review, gents.

You two are visibly Canadian... didn’t know that was a thing... solid video

If your roads are a bit rough or are concrete with undulations between each segment of concrete then be prepared for a rough and very bouncy ride. I have had mine for one month and I regret the purchase. No difference in suspension between eco, comfort, and sport modes. If comfort was actually comfortable then this would truly be an amazing vehicle.

Never noticed the sunshade/mirror extension. Good test!

No way X2 will age better over this X3. Most crossovers look like the definition of confusion between suv and sedan, hence the name. They get the best of both worlds, and trade away their looks. X3 will age better, have to agree with Jacob.

Awesome content as usual! If I may ask, what watch are you wearing Jacob? It looks nice!

I just got my Vincero watch yesterday using your promo code. Very nice. Thanks guys 😎
