This is the third-generation X3, BMWs compact SUV that slots between the X1 and X2 and
X4 and X5. You know if the Motor Werks folks in
Bavaria come out with any more small models they're gonna have to go to the
decimal system. You know cause they've run out of numbers. On this X the exterior
now has a sportier look for all of those off-road activities it will
presumably be doing, or more likely aggressive parking maneuvers in the
Bloomingdale's parking lot. The roof is lower creating a more athletic line from
the front axle to the A-pillar. The front fascia features a longer
three-dimensional kidney grille with new headlights and running lights. At the
rear are new taillights, twin exhaust pipes and a downward sloping roof
spoiler that cumulatively add to the vehicle's overall more aggressive and
yes muscular mien. The X3's interior fit and finishes are expectedly luxurious.
Piano black is nice, like I know it's fake, but I kind of dig this wood
finish, but you know there's badging everywhere. There and it's there and it's
there and it's there, you know it's just in case you've forgotten what you're
driving. There and it's there, and there. The dash is dramatically sparse but elegant with a
well thought-out center stack starring the touchscreen display, but there are
enough buttons to strike a nice balance between high and low tech. Good use is
made of the center console. This might be the most integrated cupholders we've
seen in a while. The low dash makes the cab feel brighter
and improves visibility. The larger head-up display you get with the Premium
Package is the same version used in the 7 Series, as is the optional digital
gauge cluster just beyond the sports steering wheel. The seats are firm but I
like how they feel even if they're a little lacking in these snazzy looks
department. No fancy Mercedes quilting in here. Legroom in the second row is okay
if you're behind me same as headroom, but a larger person
either in front or in back might have issues. The middle seat isn't really one.
Again depending on your size and the length of the trip. Your stuff might be
more comfortable because there's 29-cubic feet behind the rear seat compared
to 26.8 in the Audi Q5 ,19 behind the Mercedes GLC and 17.7 in the Porsche
Macan. Acoustics inside the cabin are much
improved over the previous generation, well controlled wind and city noise make
for a really pleasant interior experience. Okay, now let's see how it
really drives.
There's virtually zero lag from the twin-turbo 2.0-litre inline-four that
powers the X3 and shifts on the excellent 8-speed automatic transmission
are expeditious and well spaced. Even in comfort mode flip it into sport and
things become a little bit more interesting. The gears are held longer
the acceleration is more immediate.Things get a lot more BMW-y. Want more
control in quick acceleration situations? Simply hit these.
Except for the fact that I'm sitting up high doesn't really feel
like a SUV. It feels more sedan. The chassis is rigid but firm and all the
right moments and the suspension is rigid but comfortable. It really strikes
a nice balance. it's ridgomfortable. I'm so totally
making that a word. Steering has a nice resistance in my hands. It's responsive
and it's quick. I kind of feel like Goldilocks in this car. It''s a really
great driver. Both rear and all-wheel drive options are available on the X3.
Personally I'd pony up the extra $2,000 for the xDrive system with its enhanced
traction handling and off-road capabilities. I know not many of these
things are gonna get dirty but they should. So much fun! Base price on the rear
wheel drive model starts around $42,000 dollars including destination. Doing
basic math that's $44,00 for all-wheel drive. If
performance is what you're after the X3 also comes in a nearly $12,000 pricier
M-line performance edition that boasts larger intakes side skirt trim and a
diffuser style rear apron all of which are designed to improve downforce.
It's powered by BMWs twin power turbo charged 3.0-liter inline six that
makes some pretty beefed up numbers. Fuel economy numbers for the 2.0-liter X Drive
are in line with the segment. The M40i numbers are expectedly smaller but not
by much. Adding the M Performance version was an A+ move in our book, when
considering the X3's competition reads like a who's who of first world problems,
some of whom offer legitimate high performance track worthy options. The
Porsche Macan with the performance package, Audi's SQ5, the Mercedes-Benz
AMG GLC 43 and 63, and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Also vying for
your luxury SUV allowance are Jaguar's F-Pace, the Lexus NX, Range Rovers Velar,
Acuras RDX and the XC60. It's a pool party and everyone is
invited. The option sheet for the X3 reads like a New Yorker article, prolific.
The dynamic handling package includes variable sport steering and sport brakes
and dynamic damper control for improved ride quality, 19-inch wheels come
standard, though you can opt for 20s or 21s. The driving assistance plus package
gets safety tech. For those who like the idea of not crashing features
including active cruise control, lane keeping assist with side collision
avoidance, front cross traffic alerts and traffic jam assist. Apple CarPlay is a
$300 option, well because it's wireless, which we actually like, and we can't wait
until this is an option that's free in every car. Android Auto is a no dollar
option because it's not offered, at least not yet. this model we're testing
comes with all of those available packages and also comes with a sticker
price of about $57,700. With rising
consumer interest in SUVs and a fierce competitive set BMW needs the latest X3
to represent them well, and it does. Sure you can find a well-equipped luxury SUV
at a lower price point, but if you're looking for a luxurious German import
that's really satisfying to drive, well this X just might mark the spot.

Chris Harris Finds BMW M2 Competition More Exciting Than The M3 - Duration: 2:09.
Chris Harris returns to our screens with a short review of the BMW M2 Competition and things get understandably sideways
The BMW M2 was universally loved for its character as it managed to offer the excitement of a true M car paired with immediate responses thanks to its compact dimensions and agile chassis
The new M2 Competition promises to do the same, only now there's a M4 engine sitting under the bonnet, complete with the fancy carbon boomerang strut
The twin-turbo 3.0-liter S55 straight-six produces 404hp and 405lb-ft of torque, enough to send the M2 Competition to 62mph (100km/h) from rest in 4.4 seconds.
Tick the right option and you'll also be able to hit a top speed of 174mph (280km/h)
Transmission options include the standard six-speed manual and an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic; no matter which one you choose, the M2 Competition will still make you feel like a hooligan – but the DCT is the one that makes the car a little faster
Other differences include additional cooling, a revised steering column, upgraded M differential, updated suspension, bigger brakes, a new exhaust and more
The front brace also helps in tightening things up there, while the rear axle now features stiffer joints in order to make the M2 Competition a more precise tool for the job
As Harris notes on the video that follows, the M2 Competition's biggest rival right now is a used F80 M3; despite the option of getting an M3 and have some money left for fuel, Harris reckons that he would still go for a new BMW M2 Competition

Audi R8 vs BMW i8 vs McLaren 570S vs Mercedes-AMG GT C In Topless Sports Car Feud - Duration: 2:18.
If you ever wondered which topless sports car is the fastest, Carwow has brought the Audi R8 V10 Spyder, BMW i8 Roadster, McLaren 570S Spider and Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster together for one of their classic drag races
Drop-top sports cars tend to be more exciting than their fixed-roof counterparts, simply because they allow you to get exposed to the elements
Having no roof means that their impressive powertrains can flood the cabin more easily with the right kind of noise, therefore making them more enjoyable even if you're not driving on a race track
Each of the four contenders takes a different approach for the same goal; the R8 Spyder features a naturally aspirated V10 with 540hp and 398lb-ft strapped to the company's Quattro all-wheel drive system
The 570S Spider is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 with 562hp and 442lb-ft of torque that are sent to the rear wheels only
The i8 Roadster takes a whole different approach to the concept of a sports car, featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a small 1.5-liter three cylinder petrol unit sitting at its heart.
The BMW's combined output is just 368hp, but it has all-wheel drive and lots of zero-rpm torque from its electric motors
Finally we have the GT C Roadster.The group's only front-engine car is powered by AMG's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, which makes 547hp and 502lb-ft of torque.
With all this power sent to the rear only, this could prove to be the trickiest of the three off the line
Now that we've laid out the specs, it's time to find out how those four fared in the drag race

Bespoke BMW M4 Looks Simply Gorgeous In Daytona Violet Paint - Duration: 1:41.
Paint a BMW M4 black, silver, or white, and most people on the street wouldn't be able to distinguish it between lesser 3-Series models
The same cannot be said about this example.The owner of this particular M4 didn't want to blend in with the pack and instead ordered the German sports car in a stunning shade of purple dubbed Daytona Violet
This color offers the perfect combination of sophistication, class, and aggression needed for a vehicle with the luxury and performance credentials of a BMW M coupe
Not satisfied rolling around in an M4 with just a special paint scheme, the owner decided to add a series of eye-catching modifications
First up, the M4 has been outfitted with a set of lightweight Forgestar F14 wheels measuring 20×8.5 at the front and 20×10.5at the rear.
Painted gloss black, they complement the purple paint scheme perfectly
Elsewhere, the M4 has been adorned with numerous carbon fiber parts, including its front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and large rear wing, There's also a pair of small canards on either side of the front bumper
A custom suspension drops the car's ride height and completes the look, even if we're not sure that it doesn't adversely affect the M4's every day driveability
