Just signed the papers for a 22 X3M comp today! 8k miles, Sakhir orangeinterior, Brooklyn grey exterior. Thanks for your vid really helped with the purchase!
How’s it holding up?
@@HaiderAli-vp5vrAbsolutely amazing. Super practical and fast asf. Also just ordered a valvetronic exhaust for it! Car is a true 10/10.
@@danielwolf69 how is the ride? ik its gonna be stiff, but is it atleast berable?
@@namish9828 Its a 22 so LCI. The ride is stiffer than a normal car but its totally bearable. Just did a 5 hour drive in it just fine. The pre lci comp is supposedly insanely stuff though.
@@danielwolf69 im happy it helped man enjoy the car. Sounds absolutely beautiful🙏🏽
I am actually in the market for an x3m also. Been lurking at them for months now. Hard to find one close by me in NYC that is in my price range and not beat to shit... Coming from and E92 M3 & F80 M3 I think this would be a perfect daily for me and the family.
I feel your pain when it comes to finding one around here not completely abused. Try and stick to reputable dealerships or private sellers that seem to care about their cars if you can get approved for a private sale loan. Its tricky man. I bought this sight unseen and its a blessing it was in decent shape overall. Take your time looking and the right one will pop up for sure. I 10000% recommend the car since you’re used to M’s. Throw it on coilovers or MSS springs and you’ll never want to sell it
Yo, super chill drive and chat, definitely subscribing. Looking forward for more uploads bro
Thank you homie i seriously appreciate it. These videos are therapeutic to make so definitely expect more and hopefully better/higher quality content man. Super happy to have you along for the journey 🤞🏽
Bro your intro is so identical to mine! Ford Powerstoke guy and looking Single cab Coyote or X3 M or M40i... I will end up going X3 M40i because of my daily commute where B58 economy and low end torque is better for comfort. Good Vid man!
W video, the pop up text in the vid killed me 🤣
Thank you homie i'm happy you enjoyed man 😂
mss lowering springs, improve the ride quality. If you really want to improve ride and handling even more, kw v3 coilovers, make the x3m really smooth and planted compared to stock. Its pricey but worth it for bad NJ roads
Completely agreed. Im on BC Racing coilovers and even those have helped tremendously for even less than the KW. Definitely wanted to do them but 3500 for just parts kind of turned me off
@@strigzgarage didn’t even realize bc did coils for the x3m, should do a review vid of it
@@danraj23ful absolutely my friend im really hoping to film it on monday. Really really good alternative to the KWs
Love this video, thanks for posting. Hopefully picking mine up tomorrow!
Bought 2024 X3M 18 days ago....no regrets. The only problem is that forward left and right side parking sensors are not giving you enough time/distance when close to an object. The ride is a bit harsh on Competition 21 inch optional forged wheels. Other than that, it is a gem.
Congrats man thats awesome! I completely agree with you as well. They are a bit delayed and that could lead to a horrible situation. Definitely something good to keep in mind for others. And those 21 inch wheels are so nice man id love to get a set. Thinking about picking up a squared replica set in the future. Enjoy the car my friend!
@@strigzgarage Thank you, and congrats on yours. I just found your channel and subscribed. It was my dream to have that BMW since it came out 2019. Unfortunately, I am not a rich person to afford that type of vehicles, but I work hard 10-12 hours a day and I will pay my dream car loan and maintain the vehicle. My son loves it, and we share passion for cars with him. He has 2024 GOLF R DSG. At least I am still sleeping in my bed, not in the garage with the X3M. (Thank you honey.) 😅
@@strigzgarage As far as that diff bolt bushing problem goes, do you know if they fixed it for 2022+ LCI X3M generation?
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson amazing my friend, its great to have you here. Work hard and achieve your goals thats what keeps this life worth living! Especially family. Im sure your son absolutely loves that car. Those things are beautiful and i absolutely love what they’ve done with the new ones
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson i do believe that the fixes are accross from Pre Lci to the Lci as well. One of the main fixes people are using are the einhorn bushings. Join the X3M/X4M facebook groups. Go ahead and send a pic of your car and introduce yourself. Definitely a great place for information
And the hud is a must have, even the 911 does not have it. When your going over 200kmh you dont want to look down
You’re absolutely right, realistically it can be seen as a safety feature above anything else
Have one, love it. Was going to tune, ......not going to do it. Its fast enough , dont want the extra wear, i hit 280kmh and no problem. Drove a 911 turbo s, yes a faster, but not much and stupid 350k expensive. And no room. This x3m gives me all the wow factor i was looking for. With stock you can run and run with no problems, because it can take more. Have fun
I absolutely agree, this thing in stock form is a true enthusiasts car and leaves nothing off the table. It was a major win for BMW
Just got a GT350 a few months ago. Life happens and I need a car with more space now lol. Heavily considering one of these. Could buy one and mod it to 650hp the first week for less money than my Shelby is worth 🤔
I've got mine right around 600 hp, it moves like it shouldn't
Nice real world vid. Looking to move from an F80 M3 to X4M myself and was looking to go stage 2 ots like you. 8 months later did you ever have any of the issues you raised come up on you at all?
Thank you so much my friend. I think you would be very very pleased with the swtichup. Although its a completely different kind of vehicle, i think you’d view it as a big upgrade. Honestly ive had no real issues 🙏🏽 one of my previous videos is me going over my experience having owned the car tuned for a few months now. It may help with some insight
@@strigzgarage looking at a 2020 X3m competition 1 owner 91k miles clean title no accidents looks immaculate wanted for my wife’s daily they asking price is $34k at a dealership ….. can u or anyone help with some advice would that be a great buy at that mileage? I’m sure there’s more flexibility on the price as well been at the dealer since November I believe …. Any advice before I decide to make the purchase ? Is there anything I should worry about ?
With the harsh ride I dropped in some MSS springs. Cheap effective fix.
Absolutely a great fix, drove a car with MSS springs and loved it
Mss urban?
can you still stiffen the suspendion with the mss springs?
Dude I live in Parsippany, that’s crazy
Please read need help and advice …..

I see the notch in your profile pic so godbless for that, but im going to be 1000% transparent with my opinion, believe it or not that sounds like too much. MY trade in value wholesale (so basically what dealerships would offer) on my car, 2 owner, 60k miles, one minor accident (deer hit stated on carfax) is 33k. So $34k considering the miles seems a little high. Its hard to get these things anywhere for less than that which sucks, but i dont think the price is a good reflection of the milage. Great that its one owner and no accidents, but realistically it sounds like they should be able to negotiate, because not many people are going to be willing to buy that car with that many miles. As for the car itself, i dont think many people have more than 120k on them yet so its hard to say what issues you may face past that point BUT luckily, a lot of the guys with that kind of higher miles report to have minimal issues. Id say its best to join the facebook groups and ask about what other people say as well 🙏🏽 but atleast you have one opinion so far
@ yup Im a Ford guy as well lol I loves my foxbodys I have another white convertible lx model with black top white interior all original bone stock was my first car since 2011 still own it not many can say they still own there first car and my first car was a fox body which I still own to date it’s a 1988 same year i was born lol what a coincidence.. we were meant to be lol …….
And thanks for the quick response and I agree with you 100% on the X3m about price and mileage my brother is a finance manager and he also said price is a little high , I haven’t checked kbb however I was thinking if maybe just maybe I can negotiate for 26-28k$ I think that would be more reasonable what do u think , and yeah good point I’m going to ask around in the facebook groups hopefully I can find people with that mileage and get feedback back from their experiences so far thanks bro good looking out …… I mean if I can get it for under 30k and truck gave me 0 issues I’d feel pretty good if u ask me beats paying 40k for a Camry lol as a reference lol I can say to myself I have a super car killer for less than Camry / accord money lol
I got a Scat Pack Charger right now and really considering getting one bro.
You would love it bro i promise🙏🏽
im looking for a fully optioned 2022+ x3m comp right now.
How do I check all the options one has and all the options that were available for it to be optioned with?
It depends what youre using to search, cargurus, carfax, autolist and sites like that, you can actually select everything you want, but the easiest way is to just look at each listing, if you see a wireless charging pad, a moon roof, heated and cooled seats, premium sound system, you can pretty much assume its loaded for the most part. If it has the adaptive cruise control as well its probably loaded
Thanks for the video. I’m a ford guy as well with a 7 second coyote but looking for a fun 10 sec daily. Still enjoying the car?
10000% fall more in love with it everyday. Really wanted an rcsb coyote, but honestly, im so happy with this thing i have no regrets
I’ll be getting one soon… few weeks finishing up my 135i build. Then jumping on one
Youll absolutely love it i promise
How’d you mount your camera up? Is it on a hat, head strap, etc..? Need to know as my POV is too high and not showing the windshield fully, more of the roof 😭🤦🏽♂️
I hear you man, its just a simple headband mount for the gopro. One of my other videos was way too high cuz it was some bum ass setup since i forgot my headband, but other than that one pov its all been headband. Its angled down quite a lot too
Are you still running the Run Flat tires?
Nope no more run flats
Change your diff oil and it will fix that sound I promise!
Ended up gettin the whole thing replaced! I aint complainin #warranty lol
Hello from Brazil, nice bmw man
Its a pleasure to have you here my friend. Thank you so much🙏🏽
nice video bro
Thank you homie. Been slacking these last 2 weeks but i got a couple more on the way!
Looks like 287 S through Montville/Boonton
Bro are you a Ford guy by any chance?
Absolutely am
Ford is king 👑 😂
M40i is a great car, but the x3m is
I truly agree. This thing continues to surprise me, especially now that im tuned and have a full exhaust
How is the mpg
Could be better could be worse! Before being tuned i averaged about 16mpg, tuned I would say i range from 14-16 depending on how i drive. usually on the lower side of that lol
@@strigzgaragehow is the freeway mpg ?
The stiff ride does not bother me at all and more than worth it for the handling, wont drive like your camry which is the most boring as fuck car i ever drove.
I completely agree, if youre looking for a sports car it should be understood that the ride will be stiff. Thats part of the reason it didnt bother me too much, but for passengers i know it was a bit of a sore spot in their opinions
