Hope you enjoyed this one, a vivid display of what weight (and some aero) does in a drag race 🏁 Which one do you prefer, M3 Comp xDrive or X3M Competition?
Not an SUV fan in general, but that X3M looks damn good in black, doesn't it? And 0-60 in 3.38 secs for a mid size SUV is just insane!! But I'd still take the M3! What can I say, I 'm old fashioned and like saloons! 😁
I remember my friend pulling up in the then new X3M and me being totally unaware of the model. I had a go and I don’t think I’ve been so shocked by a car as I went into it not having a clue what was under the bonnet. Very impressive.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo I’m bout to trade my redeye charger in for one. It will be my first luxury/sport foreign. I was actually debating between these 2 vehicles. I think my mind is made up
Once again giving the people what they want Joe. Been looking for a comparison of the M3 Xdrive with the X3M and you've delivered. As expected but X3M held it's own, that M3 Xdrive is a beast though. I have the X3M (non LCI, early 2021) but if I didn't have 2 dogs to cart around would be considering the swap.
I’ve just taken delivery of my X3MC LCI . Same colour but with the SO interior and black callipers. Great to see this video. Your channel just gets better and better. Especially seeing my car as well.
Facelift on the X3M for me has easily catapulted it to the top of the list in terms of looks 2nd only to the Macan in my opinion. Impressive stuff, thanks for content Joe 👍🏻🙏🏻
Great video Joe! Would be very interesting doing a video about the LCI X3 M competition in comparison to the older one, especially in terms of low rpm torque and ride quality.
That’s awesome Joe…great video! Both impressive with how quick the X3M is but the M3 x-drive is silly quick. Wonder how close the X3M would be to the RWD M3?
Great Video Joe! The X3M Comp in black looks really low and certainly on camera does not appear too much bigger than the M3. I imagine in person its a different story perhaps. Its an impressive super SUV that's for sure 👍
Had the X3M Comp 4 years now from new and been an amazing car. I pick up my new 2023 M3 Xdrive ultimate pack on Wednesday and can't wait. Perfect video I wanted to see thanks Joe.
Same engine and absolutely great cars these two are. Maybe it's just me, but since it's an SUV and a face-lift, a bit more power for the x3m comp. Would have been great to eliminate the weight disadvantage against the M3 comp. Instead of 510hp maybe 530hp also. Love your shows sir brilliant as always. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I fancy the X3M Comp as a replacement for the X3 M40i I bought, partly in the back of your vid 3 yrs ago. You did a back to back with the last X3M and I remember you talked about the suspension - how about an updated road test on Juan's wheels ?
Great video Joe! One of the comparison videos i have seen in a long time and the first of these two! Great content and coverage! Keep them coming and I can't wait for this video to hit epic numbers! Cheers
Excellent match up! Suggestion though: Is it possible to run the 2021 x3m vs the 2022 x3m? Reason why I ask is that I have seen stock dyno figures of the 2020 x3m with 539hp and 651nm. It will be interesting to see if the improvements bmw did are worth it. Also, I think car and driver have done a 3.3s 0-60mph on the 2020 which would make it just as fast as the 2020 model. Great detail in the drag races, keep it up 👌
Having the xDrive version of M3, can you guys test it with the M5/M8 Comp? It will be very interesting to see how top of the line M compares to the latest M3.
Just picked up my new Isle of Man Green M3, such a weapon!! Great vid, amazing to see how well the X3M did!! Might need to buy one for my wife for the family road trips 😉
Once my x3m competition has had its run in service I'll get some times up but great video and good to see the comparison with weight and aerodynamic. 👏
Joe, we need a X3M LCI vs X3 M40i LCI and X3 M40d LCI shootout. Would be interesting to see the rolling speed performance, especially with the identical 0-60 times for the M40i and M40d and the torque of the M40d. It would also be interesting to determine performance of all three variants against pricing because is the X3M worth £20k more than a M40i/d??
Great video Joe!! Thanks!! Does the race box you are using include or exclude the 1ft rollout? Any thought of using the Dragy? You can record all of the times in one run rather than resetting for 1/4 mile.
Very interesting. As much as I love a Car Wow drag race, he bugs me how he's not very accurate. This was a nice genuine and factual comparison of how an SUV compromises a saloon.
How an SUV compromises a saloon? They're both super performant. I have a non-xdrive G80 M3 comp and an SQ7, they're both just hilariously fast for the road. The only compromise is the ridiculously bad fuel efficiency of my SUV when I drive it with a heavy foot,
@@thinkfaster You used the word performant. Your opinion is now invalid. No business wankword bingo on the YT comments buddy. Also, you're talking shit. The X3m M is literally shown , in this very video, to be slower,. 🤣🤣and it's also uglier, less efficient, and doesn't handle as well as it's saloon counterpart. That's a compromise there. No matter how "performant" it might be.
@@1Dustin The facts don't lie....yes it's proved to be slower, aerodynamics are obviously not its strong point, nor indeed is the additional weight it carries v the M3. But for practicality, which i assume a lot of people may choose the X3M for, it is the better all rounder. I mean can you imagine lobbing the dogs in the back after a run at the beach or through the woods? Or indeed the copious amount of Xmas shopping the mrs decides to buy? Sorry dear, you'll have to get a taxi home or wait here so I can do a double run!!😂 Its uglier....subjective your opinion, less efficient.....who cares? Its an M car. It doesn't handle as well, what do you expect? It's an Suv ffs!!!🤣
@@1Dustin Would much rather be someone who uses a word commonly used in the context of engineering and computer science than a wrongbrain yob who uses the crylaugh emoji. The X3M is a stunningly fast vehicle, and faster from a dig than my non xDrive G80 M3 Comp. I don't want an X3M, but I don't need to fight some kind of weird online made up war against SUVs, especially when the M3 is a giant pregnant cow of a car itself. Now, go find something else to do other than start idiotic arguments on the internet to make you feel better about yourself. Maybe Roblox or Fortnite?
@@thinkfaster Are you ok mate? You're the one arguing against me, and performant is not a word. It's used by people who want to sound intelligent in IT based settings. Though, as a Computer Science Expert do you want to add bandwidth, action, any other wankwords in to your sentence somewhere? Or is it a load of bollocks, like your initial statement, which you just won't retract, but instead argue, and call me a yob. Pathetic mate.
Great video.. I'm loving my M3 M xDrive it's a great car overall. Does it feel like the M3 & X3M are on the same "tune" in terms of power delivery amd transmission performance etc.?
I work at Bracknell, the x3 is mapped a bit differently for low down torque with all that weight.The M3 is a little more powerful.M cars still have to comply with noise and emission regulations and even those supposed economy figures.A lot of potential I see.......
Any chance on a review of the X3M comp? Would love to know if the ride problems have been resolved? Also a review of the new X3M40i would be nice. Great content as always. 👍
Always such detailed vids. Not even into these suv's but it looks good imo. Also Joe are you ok? You sound exhausted when you were talking, gasping for air?!
Been driving a BMW X3 m sport from 2005 for years. Would de have this one. If you want one car that does loads this is it. Yes other cars can beat it but it’s a great all rounder.
Really interesting Joe!! Any chance of an extended road test on new X3M? Looking to possibly purchase next year, but also looking at a Porsche GTS 🤷♀️
Joe, it would definitely benefit the car if you launched after the white line and off the paint lines in general. There’s definitely some additional slip there.
Would have been very interesting if you could have done the same by adding a passenger in the Audi RS3 to make up for the 90KG weight difference (1570KG RS3 vs 1660 A45S) in your RS3 vs A45S video.
decided last night well i asked my wife if i can get the BG x3m comp as a company truck after a 5 min sales pitch and purchase justification. stating that its cheap bc its three cars in one..i got my fun truck work truck and it can tow..i held my breathe and waited surprisingly she said “of course honey i hate bmws but if it will make you happy go buy it and did i want a bacon sandwich ”…like what!?? thats the kind of woman you need right there.
Great video again Joe , love your videos. Wanted to ask , did you have the 1 foot roll-out setting on the race box turned on when doing the drag races? Those times seemed insanely blitz.
Hope you enjoyed this one, a vivid display of what weight (and some aero) does in a drag race 🏁
Which one do you prefer, M3 Comp xDrive or X3M Competition?
Both really nice but m3 for me ha 🤷♂️
Enjoyable Joe,I think he jump started you though lol.Is the ride in the X3M as rock hard as ever ?
Based on this a Caterham 620R!
M3xdrive. Wait for the touring though...
@@bibby65 - I was thinking the same. Both X3M/X5M have a reputation for harsh rides. Good question mate
Not an SUV fan in general, but that X3M looks damn good in black, doesn't it? And 0-60 in 3.38 secs for a mid size SUV is just insane!!
But I'd still take the M3! What can I say, I 'm old fashioned and like saloons! 😁
Ikr!! That’s faster than or equally as fast the Lamborghini Urus which costs 100k more. But the lambo also weighs more so there’s that.
@@rasikpanchani No. The Urus is faster, some people have gotten sub 3s.
@@thinkfaster in an suv? I think not. You would need to get it tuned in order for it to do that
I had the x3m pre facelift, the problem with that car isn’t speed is the ride…..you literally don’t want to Daily this car cuz it’s so rough
@@rasikpanchani Drag Times got a 2.93 0-60 on a stock Urus - ua-cam.com/video/R3NmTkko0Aw/v-deo.html#t=5m30s -

I remember my friend pulling up in the then new X3M and me being totally unaware of the model. I had a go and I don’t think I’ve been so shocked by a car as I went into it not having a clue what was under the bonnet. Very impressive.
Great content Joe but 100-200kmph is 62-124mph. The 1/4 mile on the stock M3 is absolutely nuts. I want one!
Ahh yes of course 🤦 Thanks for pointing that out 👌👌👌
@@JoeAchilles1 I can't wait to see how the new M3/M4 perform with some basic mods. Will be outrageous. Keep up the great content Joe.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo I’m bout to trade my redeye charger in for one. It will be my first luxury/sport foreign. I was actually debating between these 2 vehicles. I think my mind is made up
2023 X3M here.. and yes... she is quick...

I pick up my 22 X3MC next week, feel like a kid going to disneyland lol great video Joe! ive been waiting on this video lol
You need to get the 'big brothers' on next... The M5/X5 Comp.
(I prefer the X3M myself out of that one)
Awesome comparison! I’m the proud owner of a G82 comp rwd and love the S58 platform. Well done 👍🏻
I’ve just taken delivery of my X3MC LCI . Same colour but with the SO interior and black callipers. Great to see this video. Your channel just gets better and better. Especially seeing my car as well.
Facelift on the X3M for me has easily catapulted it to the top of the list in terms of looks 2nd only to the Macan in my opinion.
Impressive stuff, thanks for content Joe 👍🏻🙏🏻
Finally!!! I’ve been asking for this drag race since last year… I’m so glad that Joe has done it!
Really happy to see this. Got my 2023 X3M Comp recently, and good to know it mostly comes down to weight at "normal" speeds.
Would like to hear a review on that x3m lci, primarily to see if the ride is any better
Great video Joe! Would be very interesting doing a video about the LCI X3 M competition in comparison to the older one, especially in terms of low rpm torque and ride quality.
That’s awesome Joe…great video! Both impressive with how quick the X3M is but the M3 x-drive is silly quick. Wonder how close the X3M would be to the RWD M3?
The X3M is faster from a dig, but the M3 would hold its own on most of the rolling starts and at higher speeds when wind resistance comes into play.
@@thinkfaster not just wind resistance, but mechanicall drag from aded awd
Great Video Joe! The X3M Comp in black looks really low and certainly on camera does not appear too much bigger than the M3. I imagine in person its a different story perhaps. Its an impressive super SUV that's for sure 👍

Joe you continue to amaze me!... I've said it once I will say it again, best BMW content in YT m8 :)
Thanks for the great content. The M3 is the new modern GTR. I see 9s in the 1/4 with stage 2. Will be my car in the near future.
Same engine and absolutely great cars these two are. Maybe it's just me, but since it's an SUV and a face-lift, a bit more power for the x3m comp. Would have been great to eliminate the weight disadvantage against the M3 comp. Instead of 510hp maybe 530hp also.

Hi Joe, would love to see M5 v's M3 now and how close they are. Love the vids

Would love you to do a video on the LCI X3M40d, just bought one and it is even better than the previous model. Great video as usual 👌
Great video Joe! One of the comparison videos i have seen in a long time and the first of these two! Great content and coverage! Keep them coming and I can't wait for this video to hit epic numbers!
Cheers
Props to the M division for the mid cycle update on the X3 and X4M Comps. Would have been so easy just to do a visual update.
Excellent match up! Suggestion though:
Is it possible to run the 2021 x3m vs the 2022 x3m? Reason why I ask is that I have seen stock dyno figures of the 2020 x3m with 539hp and 651nm.

The newer one is faster you can’t compare times posted from different people on different conditions.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 exactly and that's why I'd like to see a comparison of the two.. a 2021 vs a 2022.
@@I_am_Monty it is faster though.
even 3.2 seconds. Also the stelvio QV did 3.2 seconds on their hands
Awesome video, sold my x3m comp earlier this year and have a new M3x. This is pretty darn accurate to my experiences too with those cars. Sweet!
Another great video Joseph, you’ve always give great content, cheers 🍻
3 seconds to 60 is insane WTF. X drive makes a huge difference.
The time is unbelievable!! Also sounds good! Great video Joe! Love your excitement from your work!
Having the xDrive version of M3, can you guys test it with the M5/M8 Comp? It will be very interesting to see how top of the line M compares to the latest M3.
“Shaped like the building it’s parked in front of” 😂 legend.
Love the in depth performance tests.
Just picked up my new Isle of Man Green M3, such a weapon!! Great vid, amazing to see how well the X3M did!! Might need to buy one for my wife for the family road trips 😉
Please do a stability test of both :)
So happy to watch this drag race, thank you Joe.👍👍👍
Great Video Joe. My G80 x-drive had its running service on Monday so I am just starting to explore the upper rev range and its outrageously quick.
Once my x3m competition has had its run in service I'll get some times up but great video and good to see the comparison with weight and aerodynamic. 👏
Joe's videos are all REALLY GOOD
Have an M4 X-Drive…100% stock 0-60 2.97 1/4 mile 10.98..can’t wait until the spring…race chip and down pipes will see what I can get
they have a bad 54/46 weight distribution. My 992 4S is just as quick and way more agile
Joe, we need a X3M LCI vs X3 M40i LCI and X3 M40d LCI shootout.

Drifting into Carwow territory Joe, is there any real need ? Stick to what you do best Joe, really excellent road tests and road trips 👍
Now this is a video to cheer my evening up, nice one Joe.
Wonder how fast the m3 x drive would be if it didn’t short shift into 2nd gear on launch
And take away 2 grown ass dudes
Probably spin up
Cracking vid Joe defo need to do more like this 👍
Very factual Joe. Another great video🙏
Enjoyed this Joe. Good use of the timing gear so we could really appreciate the differences. Nice one!
Great video Joe. I think I need one of those Race Boxes - and access to the airstrip!
Excellent! I'll be getting a 2023 MY tomorrow. I can't wait : )
11.1 in the 1/4! unreal. but having owned the m3 xdrive, I'm not surprised. Felt as fast as a 992 C4S and the M8. car is proper fast.
Great video Joe!! Thanks!! Does the race box you are using include or exclude the 1ft rollout? Any thought of using the Dragy? You can record all of the times in one run rather than resetting for 1/4 mile.
i have stock x3mc. With warm up tires 0-60 3.3-3.4
Finally good review of the x3m 👍🏻
Great video as always. But 2 tonnes for the X3? Yikes. I still think of it as a baby SUV!

Greetings from Amman, Jordan
Great video!
X3 M incredible SAV, thank 😊
Hi Joe, you didn't like the Pre LCI X3 Com for its harsh ride. Did you feel the same about this LCI X3M?
Joe: "there's not much in it"
Proceeds to walk the X3M whilst giving it a head start lol
Wow i am more impressed with the car's ability to do launches over and over again.
Does the paint not affect the launch? On the second launch in the x3 I think you can here it struggling for traction on the paint
Great video, thanks. Where was this filmed?
That X3M is a rocket. I would have bought that over the M3 if it had a manual transmission.
decided last night well i asked my wife if i can get the BG x3m comp as a company truck after a 5 min sales pitch and purchase justification. stating that its cheap bc its three cars in one..i got my fun truck work truck and it can tow..i held my breathe and waited surprisingly she said “of course honey i hate bmws but if it will make you happy go buy it and did i want a bacon sandwich ”…like what!?? thats the kind of woman you need right there.
Joe, is X3M less stiffer then pre LCI model?
Great video again Joe , love your videos. Wanted to ask , did you have the 1 foot roll-out setting on the race box turned on when doing the drag races? Those times seemed insanely blitz.
Not much in it? I dont think so when m3 ist empty its definitely much quicker than x3m.
