I have the 18/19 model Other than a few electrical glitches for the revised or new release models the car is awesome The B58 motor never disappoints

Good choice! Plus warranty as well, much more sensible choice for me compared to the range!

I’m getting a halo energy sword vibe from those rear lights 👌

Daniel you can put the car in sports mode and individualise it to normal comfort settings, this will remove the start/stop.

I looked at the 40i great choice I went for the 40d due to mileage health to enjoy Daniel.

Amazing car, we’re considering to buy m40i pro edition, would you mind share roughly what was the offer?

HINTS:🎖 SPORT MODE = The new start stop button. The Harmon Kardon audio is indeed factory set to "Flat Equalization - - - - - " Go through audio the menu to adjust your bespoke audio preferences . Also, create a "DRIVER'S PROFILE" so these settings will be recognized each time you drive the car. The mileage does appear after started it'll be located on the screen upper right hand (middle) or press the "BC" (It stands for "Board Computer" ) on the turn signal.... ALSO this will pull up the SPORTS DISPLAYS I'm a new (ish) owner had the X3 M40i built here in the USA took delivery in October. More power than my previous Audi A3 and BMW X1 hatchbacks and way more fun than the BMW 30i . Enjoy and I hope these tips help!

They actually removed the auto on/off button on all M40i's because it has the 48 volt battery which is supposed to make that auto start/stop much smoother.

To turn off the auto start stop option is to set/configure the Sport Individual options to ALL comfort mode. LOL or do the ECU MODS

Very awsome looking car! Which driving assistant option did you choose from the ones that BMW offers? (active guard, the driving assistant or driving assistant professional) and how do you feel it works? is it intrusive? is it useful? Thanks for the review, looking forward for the driving review! Greetings from spain :)

The lci really works well on the x3

DUDE 🔥🔥 love it. How did you get those rims?? They aren’t on the website as an option 😢

Nice car. Planning to upgrade my X3 to M40. Which interior trim is that ? Looks nice ! Ash Trunkwood ? How long was the waiting period.

Hi Daniel. Quick question if possible. We have our second kid on the way and we are looking at upgrading from our X1. We did are considering both an X3 and RRS (likely used). In terms of rear and boot space, which car offers the best option when considering pushchairs and isofix seats?

Nice video!

I can't believe they removed the Start/Stop button while still keeping the function active 😞. I hope they removed that annoying feature completely and particularly non-sense on a M car. Please let us know latter if the start/stop is still there.

what is your average fuel consumption? and the one in the city and on the motorway... if you may. cheers

No way to disable the auto start/stop, but with the mild hybrid system it isn't bad at all. Can switch to Sport mode or Sport shifting to disable it. The disappearing odometer is very annoying. Can get it back by cycling through the displays using the upper button on the top stalk, but it's in a different location. I swapped out stock 20" Bridgestone Allenza 001 RFT's on stock wheels for a winter setup using 19" OZ Racing Hyper GT wheels and non-RFT Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 XL. Reduced unsprung weight by a HUGE 64 lbs. I was amazed that the ride quality was only marginally improved, so the stock Bridgestone RFT's are really not that bad at all in terms of comfort quality. They Bridgestones definitely contribute to sharper steering feel, though.

Great vid! Thank you for sharing. Fyi: They removed the button for auto start/stop on all their latest cars. I'm driving a 2019 BMW 3 series (G20) and it is one of the last ones WITH the dedicated button to turn on/off the auto start/stop. You can only deactivate it by using the sport mode now.

The LCI has a 48v mild hybrid battery to make start stop smoother amongst other things.

Hey dude. Love the content. If you wouldn’t mind, could you go into more detail about how much you paid for the car? I know your previous videos on car finance have received stupid hate but I actually find it really helpful. Plus the X3 M40i is a car I’m actually heavily considering. I’d love to get the X3m comp but that will be out of budget for sure. I’m interested to know how does it work when you have a car to trade in that you’re still paying on a pcp deal i.e my current pcp deal is still ongoing but I’m wanting to trade in this vehicle for an X3 perhaps. How does it affect the pricing or does it even affect it at all?? Happy if you prefer to dm instead. Cheers dude

Nice Daniel , looked at one of those went Macan S Gen 3 instead ,

There isn’t a start stop button on any X3 LCI. It has nothing to do with your removal of comfort access.

What RR exactly did you replace ?

re HK stereo, theres lots on the BIMMERS forums re setup of the Logic 7, along with setups of all the frequencies, suggest you do some research - one of the options I read was to turn it off completely, and the sound is better - awaiting delivery of mine soon.

Hey Dan, picked my car up Wed, as well as playing round with the vast amount of setup/config, especially as I wanted two profiles, one each for my wife and I, and pleased that everything is working ideal, no issues with carplay, etc. Re HK setup, defo want the Logic 7 enabled, and option far right, then play around with the equaliser and setup, total transformation!! Also tried is disabled and was good - its the default Logic 7 setup thats so flat!! Hope all good

Was this car more expensive than the RRS in terms of lease payments? I hope it's cheaper! Personally, my wife hates any type of sporty driving and gets car sick easily, so I have to stick to comfortable suspension and smoother accelerating cars. I've done a lot of research comparing the RRS to the X5, and X5 tips it due to the poorer reliability of the RRS.

I've had an X3 M40i for 2 years now. One of the best cars I've owned. That engine is a glorious thing. Can be annoying though. DAB reception is awful. Truly awful. You can't switch the media off on it's own. Just Mute it. So when you next start the car up, the audio is playing, but on mute. I had an Ghost fitted to mine, as I was also worried the car would be stolen. Like you, I found the sound coming out of the speakers to be not as I expected. I have the HK speakers too. Came from an Audi with B&O which is far far superior in sound quality. Will probably get another new X3 M40i after this one, or try an 340i Touring.

What’s the infatuation with turning off start stop? I have one of these, start stop works well, instant ignition from a ready state and frankly, your not burning fuel sitting still in traffic, the point of start stop anyway. If it’s an issue, then I think the owners the problem.

A beautiful car but i prefer the RR
