When you’re younger Brother grows up to be BiGGER and STRONGER....

We welcomed a new Big Bro to the Household this past weekend. A Donnington Grey X3M Competition. S58 Powered goodness to go along with the S55. He’s Bigger, Faster, Stronger. But the Older bro has got more character and brains?

PS. Pic with my M2 Comp in handicapped spot was taken when Dealership was closed and doing “Appointment Only” showings. I moved it after a couple minutes once my Sales Manager came out to greet. There were also 9 other empty Handi spots available.

Congrats! I've never understood the concept of an M SUV, so would love to hear your thoughts on how much of the M driving experience BMW is able to translate to the SUV

Such a bad ass ride. What's it like to drive? Does it feel faster than the M2C? I'm thinking with 500 hp, awd and lighting fast shifts it's got to be brutally fast.

Congrats!

Congrats and enjoy that beast!

My wife test drove an X3M in February when trying to decide on her next SUV. That thing sounded amazing to me when it was in M mode.

I’ll tell you what. This thing feels like an M3 Competition Pack in DCT, just 12 inches higher. LOL. It corners, handles, it’s FAST, and definitely makes you feel like you get an “M” experience. It definitely engages you....as the steering is def twitchy like a sports car. Add to it the Glorious Sound and POWER of the S58......it’s the a Perfect Grocery Getter And will get my Wife Uber fast to her Yoga and Pilates classes.

So what she wanted (especially after driving my M2 Comp and modded Twin Turbo Audi S4 Avants) is that she wanted a Faster ride that she could whip into a corners but still retain the capabilities of an SUV (coming from an Audi Q7 S-Line). We already have “Sports Car” vehicles in the household.....so this checked all the boxes 📦!

Love that you had to add that disclaimer given this cancel everything era. Not that certain things shouldn't be "cancelled" but this puts everyone on edge about anything they share online.

lol i saw your post in the Facebook group and also saw all the flame you got for being in the handicapped spot. So i thought it was pretty funny you added that disclaimer here.

Anyways congrats on the new car. I'm trying to convince my friends who just had their first born to get an X3M however neither of them care for cars that much and they already have a ND Miata as their fun weekend car.

It was crazy on that post. I had a feeling that some peeps would make a big deal of it......even though it really was a non-issue under the circumstances. The X3 M is an amazing SUV, but it definitely is not for everyone.....

They handle pretty well, comparable to a standard coupe, considering the added mass and higher center of gravity.

I would fux with one, had I have the need for more space or actually wanted/had friends to haul around.
