In this video i will re-test my personal car, this (F25) BMW X3 20d with a stage 1 engine tune. I have 2 main reasons for doing this: 1) it's the channel's 2nd anniversary this November (first uploaded video was on the 5th of Nov, 2021 and it was a video of this very car) and 2) i was curious as to whether the passed time and driven kilometers have affected the car's performance.
The car had an engine intervention a few months ago, when i had to change the EGR valve.
You can (re)watch the initial test here: • BMW X3 20d F25 stage 1...

What's your opinion on the results? How do you think this car stood this (little) test of time? (Yes, i know, the glovebox door needs some fixing.)
👍 Good performance.
Thanks, friend! 👍
are the turbo and gearbox still doing well?
@@BenPower123 yes, they are! At 214k km at the moment and daily driving the car. I had to replace the EGR some months ago though. For extra info, i had the engine tune done about 5 and 1/2 years ago, at about 95k km and i have done an oil change for the gearbox at about 115k km.
Good initial launch, but definitely slows down at higher speeds (trap speed is 143kmh in 1/4mile). Which, I think, is kind of expected with high torque, low(ish) hp diesels
Thanks for your comment! You are right, acceleration drops quite noticeably at higher speeds. You can also feel this subjectively, while driving. Up to 80-90 km/h it has very good acceleration, to 130 km/h it's decent(ish), but after that it's not impressive at all. Despite not being that heavy, i guess the power level is just not there to overcome air resistance at high speeds.
More than decent performance nonetheless (at legal speeds 🙂), combined with diesel efficiency too.
@@iurieboitov7380 Again you are right. Overtaking, for example, at legal speeds is usually not a problem. As for consumption, it can achieve sub 5L/100 at a constant speed of 100-110 km/h, low-to-mid 6L/100 at 130 km/h and 10-11L in heavy (bumper to bumper) city traffic.
Nice performance! And some notice: you specified 0-100 acceleration as 7.30 sec as the best run. But for the 1/4 mile run you achieved 7.25 sec of 0-100 acceleration. May be you should use this value in your Excel table.
Hi, Valeriy! In the Excel table i have the best values achieved while performing the respective test. In the case you mentioned, although the best absolute 0-100 time was recorded while doing a 1/4 mile run, in the results sheet i have the best value that i got during the specific 0-100 test. Same goes for all tests. For example, 60-100 times are always faster during tests where the car is in full power (0-100 or 1/4 mile), than in the dedicated test. Despite this, in Excel i have the best times i get during the specific test. Usually i mention this in the final results card where i sometimes write 2 values for the same test (individual / overall).
Makes sense. Nice. @@AcceleratingCars
