B58 pushes this SUV to 0-60 to a genuine 4.1-4.2 second and also getting 30mpg + having 60 something cargo space this vehicle is actually the best in the business - no joke, no other SUV can do what this car can do given the trade off between MPG and HP
The flip side to the "great job BMW" is their X3M model..most struggle to see 18mpg on the highway. I had one for a year. I averaged 16mpg. I didn't buy it for fuel mileage, but given it's 17 gallon tank, I was constantly filling up ..so pathetic. I owned a E63s wagon that saw 26 and that had 603HP
just took our 2024 X3 M40i on a road trip, 4 adults with a full boot and we averaged 31-32 MPG during the trip. Absolutely incredible considering what else this car can do!
I drove my ‘23 on a recent 283-mile trip pushing 80 mph. My average was 30.8 mpg in comfort mode. Horsing around in Sports+ on winding country roads is a different story but it’s a lot of fun.
I think you forgot to mention a key point about this model - it has a 48v mild hybrid system that assits that b58 engine. Not a major efficiency helper but definitely something to call out.
In my real world driving in the X3 M40i over more than 40000km was 10.1 Litres per 100km. Before that I had an X3 30i which averaged about 9.4 - similar driving conditions. The B58 engine in the M40i is a gem, but not ultra thrifty - mine is a 2021 model so perhaps not as thrifty as the facelift version.
Is true man USA and Europe analysis say is real economy this v6 vs sny others is very smooth very good on class economy performance everything is positive.ah i forget Acura v6 with 10 speed automatic all say good economy and smooth faster nice sound no noise this v6 both best engine.
With 382hp costs 20mpg which is the best of the best, I love my 2018 M40i x3 and really love it better than all suv even x5 x7. X5 back seats don't recline, x7 recline but accelerate bad, only this model make all. When it speeds up max that makes us easy to handle or control the steering wheel and feel confident going up mountain at 10k ft easily.
Love this channel, question for you tho, I've been trying to figure out how to calculate it but it's been so long since I've had higher level math my brain is like "nah." My question is how much better does the MPG have to be on a premium gas car to make it cheaper on gas than a lower MPG non-premium required car?
Take your price of premium, ($5 for easy math), and divide it by the price of reg ($4 for easy math). Then take that result and multiply it by the mpg of your regular gas car. That's how good the premium car would need to be to equal it. Let's say $5/$4 = 1.25. A car that gets 28 mpg on regular, times 1.25, would cost the same to drive as a car that got 35 mpg on premium.
Bro i am frome hometown Germany. So 71 mph are approx. 110 km/h her in europe. Car consumpen on 110 km/h cruise control is 9,1 l /100 km ? Wow this is very high consumption for a 110 km/h ride. Modern nowadays cars her ein europe onnat speed...bout 6 Litre / 100 km/h. Yes no 1,8 ton SUV but anyways...9,1 on cruise control 110 km/h is bad consumption. For a 400 hp car.. maybe ok but...
Having to use Premium gas is a no buy for me when buying a new car. With todays technology any new car should be designed to run on regular 87 octane gasoline.
Not really as all bmws are required to use premium as it can’t use any lower fuel grade as it will create knock and heavy power depletion and also it could consume the fuel more aswell.
Regular 87 octane is terrible for any car that uses a turbo. You will not find any hybrids that use turbo's and can use 87 octane with their rated HP. Sure you can put it in, but it'll run terrible. If you want to use the lowest grade gas possible, you shouldn't be driving a new car.

31 MPG?!?!?! That's amazing fuel economy for a 400 HP SUV! Great job BMW!

I can get 33.9 on my way back home. NJ highway normal traffic. state route and parkway 28 best in the morning.
9.4 or 7.5 liters per 100 km?
@@HH-g80 how is the ride quality I want to buy one but most don’t have adaptive suspension and I live in nj too
@@danraj23ful The secret is I replaced the factory tires with continental DWS, much softer and less noise. pothole is not an issue anymore.

Awesome content! Please do X5 M50i or X7 M50i next! 🙌🏼

Wow that’s amazing number for the new M40i. As a 2019 X3 M40i owner, mine only does 21 mpg at highway
there’s something wrong with your driving or your car, my 340i does 33mpg with regularity
@@bitcoochie4093 i was wondering what’s up as well. Perhaps running 21” tires and driving in sport or sport plus all the time?
@@davidalenick1246 still doesn’t make sense to me, when I️ drive like a dickhead I️ still don’t dip below 25mpg
@@bitcoochie4093 the wheel size and tire can make a huge difference. Also they don’t do the greatest in short trips.

@@DailyMotor awesome, thank you!
Well, I got a heavy feet and I drive on local at most. my meter read on 17 mpg.
I think you should be driving this in Comfort mode, if hypermile-ing is not the objective. No one is driving in eco pro day to day on these
Now i have to replace my M240 with an X3 M40🤦🏽♂️
No cross traffic alert & no adaptive cruise control is a deal breaker for some like me.
There are packages that you can pick and chose from. This specific package doesn’t have traffic alert/ACC.
X3 vs X5, is X5 more refined?
Woah. My 19 x3m40i only gets 21mpg at best! 😅

bro for us in europe we need to buy the 40d instead, then we will get 6-7l
It’s almost 400HP… that’s what it takes! If you do much highway it’s better to get the M40d offering consumption as low as 6-7 l/100km
ik the uk most people drive at least 80mph on motorway maybe 85 I bet that gets it to about 24
