That interior looks cheaper than the current shape.
Good eye. It really feels like it in places. I think the general trend towards dematerialisation in the name of minimalism is really about cost reduction
@@MrChiaSG and increasing profitability in the knowledge that they mostly have an apathetic public.
Unless people boycott brands, they will never learn.
@@Allanhyde264 I'm trying to call this out in my latest walkaround of the 2 Series Gran Coupe (74). If you have time, please have a watch and tell me what you think!
LOVE IT…. Its such a beautiful SUV
Of course the real M performance with 6 cyclinder is good to have... The COE is killing SG buyer to seek for performance car, it just a dream to have it here. To be practical, just a X3 2L is good enough in Singapore Road.
Totally agree that the X3 20 is good enough! Although to be fair, it needs the same COE as the X3 M50...
I have a question. Will BMW have X4 M50 for Singapore market?
Is it true that BMW is phasing out the X4 models?
Can you do review on X4 M40i or X4 M50 if there ever is 😊
We've heard the rumours, too 😢 What we think will happen is that there might be an iX4 based on the upcoming neueklasse pure electric platform instead
@1:25 actually the message is "cut cost as much as possible". the new interior is so cheap and tacky like a kia rental car. quality is a downgrade from previous models. this car is designed primarily for mainland chinese customer now, since most bmw sales are there.
Oof! Definitely agree that the new interior is not for everyone
@@MrChiaSG they abandoned the opening sunroof, no more tacora red interior option, no more rear ambient lighting. this is not an upgrade. i think the 2024 models are going to be come real popular very soon!
@@TMS5100 do you think younger people might prefer the new interior? I'm old so I don't know!
@@MrChiaSGI’m young, and I have a 23 x3M40 that I am leasing, my lease will be up next year, I love love the B58 and the ZF. I love how my suv thrills me daily , I really dislike this x3 so much. I want to love it I really do but the hard touch plastics is not what I call a luxury car, to me Tesla isn’t considered a luxury car to me..I don’t know why it was considered a luxury vehicle in the first place Maybe because the Model S was the first Tesla car that was at the time had luxury amenities back in the 2014, however by bmw going this route mimicking Tesla is NOT a good Idea imo , last night I went to look at the GLC 43 2025 and I fell in love with the interior vs the new M50, the Mercedes has also everything I want expect the b58 and zf8 the materials are way better than the m50. The look and feel of the door panels dash and lower dash , ambient lighting front and rear the illuminated rocker panel side sills that says AMG, so, even tho the car is slower, I just might make that switch to the GLC 43. I don’t want to go to a car because I like the practicality of the compact suv. But I hear the Mercedes has bad reliability issues, even tho I will lease the GLC if I decide to , I am just torn and my feelings are hurt towards this new M50. 😔
How was the air conditioning? Does it have the same power as the outgoing model? Recently had an X1 as a loaner for my ‘22 M40i and the A/C was dreadful.
I'm waiting to find out and really curious to see how it'll do in hot weather. We drove the G45 in 12 to 18 deg C conditions. Honestly the airflow from those dashboard vents isn't great at all
The BOXY X3 MX features an interior that some may find to be cheap plastic, diminishing the overall appeal of the X3 model. RIP X3,
How would you compare this compact SUV with some sport sedan like mercedes E class (e450 with 6-cyl. ) ? what would you choose if that would be your money : x3 m50 vs E 450 ?
B58😂
That’s a real tough question! I haven’t driven the E 450 (we don’t have that in Singapore) but I’ve tried the same engine in the CLS and it’s a gem. Sounds great, pulls hard… I love it!
But an X3 and E-Class comparison is really apples-to-oranges. Do you have a lot of stuff to carry (like mountain bikes)? How about kids to drive around? How much do you value a more traditionally posh interior, like the E 450’s? I think it’ll come down to whether you need the extra space of an SUV. If you don’t, it’ll come down to what you think of the BMW’s minimalist interior versus the Mercedes’ more traditional cabin
@@MrChiaSG thanks for answer. In short I don't need so much space (one kid etc..). For me all comes down to : sitting position (higher..) ,ground clerance , b58 vs 6cyl.in merc ,quality of materials inside the cabin or easy of use multimedia… Anyway based on your experience (you drive a lot of cars..) what would you choose for yourself and why (between these two)?
@@sasquatch7962 well ok, gun to my head... I would say between a GLC and X3, I would probably go BMW. But between an E 450 and the X3 M50, I think I'd prefer the Mercedes. I'm a sedan guy, plus I have my doubts about the X3's interior. Mercedes MBUX is, overall, easier to use than BMW OS9, I'd say. But you might prefer the elevated seating position/higher H-point of the X3, so at least give it a test drive!
@@MrChiaSG thanks for your opinion , appreciate it....
The title should say 2025
Thanks! I'm gonna change it 👍
I want to like it so much but I hate it. It looks so cheap inside
It looks like this is the new normal, alas
nice new X1.. oh wait ?!
Hey BMW , where is my baby X5 ?! G01 was the best so far..
Ugly how they squashed the top of the car..
"New X1" lol good one! How about looking at G45 as a baby iX? Gotta say, G01 was really handsome, though!
NOPE. Went for the 24 M40i.
Fair enough! That’s a lovely car, really
just another youtuber who is scared to tell his opinion on camera because he will be banned by car manufacturer for all free future reviews
Oof, that’s a little harsh.
Cheap interior and boring outside looks the only one to buy would be the M50i but for the money is prob better get a 2023 X3M.
It is soooo ugly it looks like they hit it with a shovel on every side. I loved the look of the outgoing X3 this is horrible. How can they make the X5 look so nice then completely ruin the X3
The G01 certainly was a handsome car, no doubt about that!
the x3 is designed for mainland chinese market. thats why it looks horrible now. interior caters to customer who wants their car to look like Asus ROG laptop.
@@TMS5100 that could well be, but the fact of the matter is, 41% of the G01 X3 went to the US market
@@MrChiaSG x3 sales figures for 2022: US = 65800 europe = 61,224 china = 112,819
@@TMS5100 oh man, you're absolutely right! I went and looked up the chart that BMW showed me at the G45 launch; I read it wrong - the US is expected to buy 41% of the *new* one. I put up a link to it below. China's figure isn't listed; I think because it is only going to get an X3 L.
