    No, this actually competes with the X3 40i or whatever they're calling it now. The X3 M and GLC63 are competitors. Mercedes goofed here because a 4-cylinder just isn't it.

    I like the older Mercedes products more than the current models. That is because I am old and wise enough to know quality and timeless styling when i see it. These are cool for the younger generations and are still very good quality vehicles. The exterior is still wonderful but the interior and powertrain are a back step compared to earlier models. Just my opinion. Great review Joseph.

    It is real carbon fiber, I believe it may be wet carbon fiber, and it’s a $975 dollar option in the United States. Also the reason behind the heads up display that was zonked is for the augmented reality navigation features that are equipped to this Pinnacle trim model shown in the video. And to correct a previous commenter, it competes with the BMW X3 M50. BMW renamed the “light” X3 M from M40i to M50. The “i” designation is now solely used on BMW electric vehicles, and not those powered only by combustion engines. Thanks for the video of this awesome car!

    Just went through this comparison in the last 30 days. We compared the 43 to the M440i rather than the X3M (The X3M was more expensive in most configs). We actually ended up with the X3MC because the performance was just WAY better, the seats were way more comfortable for the top trim. Also the Mercedes dealership local to us was just unwilling to find anything we wanted to buy. My wife hates any red anywhere and it seems Mercedes is obsessed with it.

    Pairing the turbo 4 with an electric motor makes good, immediate power and you get more MPG over a standalone 4 cyl. I’d rather have leather in that dash over the plastic. Is it roomier than the X3? But $78k is a bit high. I’d go for the X5 40i w/strong straight turbo 6 for $80k.
