Nice video brother. I still have my 2019 (2018 production year) X3 M40i and absolutely love it to pieces. Had an X5 as a rental last month and just felt so artificial. I love the size of this thing.I have a DP and Stage 2 on it, doing 460 HP it's awesome.
Hey Alex…I have a ‘23 I picked up three days before Christmas in ‘22. I just had my first oil change, because it’s almost a year old with approx 7400 miles!!! My office is two miles away and I only work three days a week. I really enjoy your chill videos bro! 🤙🏽
My 2019 X3 m40i has 57k on it, I bought it new. It's been rock solid so far. Just regular maintenance. Hasn't even needed brake pads yet, but I'm expecting that in the next year. I installed a JB4 years ago and it's been perfect.
I have a 2015 sdrive28i with 113k miles runs fantastic. Just drove from Tampa to move to Albuquerque. Cars a lil dirty rn but is a fantastic buy. I purchased back in 2019 for 15k now I have a paid off car. I've replaced my alternator, a couple hoses, 2x battery (the alternator killed one), and tires and brakes. Other than that and the usual top up of fluids etc it's never overheated and never broke down. I have an engine light because someone stole my gas cap.
Awesome video man! I'm thinking of purchasing a 2018 X3 M40i with 31000 miles here in Canada! Your video made me feel much better about owning the vehicle!
Rattle in rear passenger area, check the pano shade where the ends ride in the rail. You should be able to grab the end of the sun shade and wiggle it, does it make a rattle sound?
Nice looking X3 you have there! I just bought a 2024 X3 M40i and love it so far..surprisingly quick! I just hit 1k miles so no maintenance yet however my wireless charging pad has not worked since I got it...trying to figure it out on my own but probably need to have it looked at. Not a big deal since the plug in charger works fine but still...brand new car!!
Try and check your coolant when it’s hot I know it sound weird and no it not going to explode on you untwist it slow as the coolant system heats up it sucks it into to engine so you could be low and not know it as a preliminary replace your coolant tanks and caps at the same time real super easy job
MY FRIENDS 2020 BMW X4 HAD THE SAME EMERGENCY CALL PROBLEM AND BMW FIXED IT FOR FREE HERE IN ITALY, APPARENTLY IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. IN MY 3 SERIES IT HASN'T SHOWED NOTHING UNTIL NOW... BUT STILL THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A BMW... THE BEST CAR :)
On the G01 (pretty sure on most modern bmw’s)…. there’s a little half circle indent on the plastic undertray. that’s where you jack up the front. on the rear. it’s okay to jack up from the diff. just make sure to have wood or rubber protecting it from metal on metal contact with the jack.
I have a 19 M40i and have the same call malfunction code dealer said water leak in the shark fin the fixed it under warranty worked again then came back a couple months later.
Have you looked into the possibility that the tiny battery for the SOS system is dead? I feel like I read something with the F30 chassis that you have to replace that tiny battery to get rid of that message. By the way, where did you get those jack stand adapters?
How hard was that battery to change? Do you have a PN you can share? FWIW I put some clear silicone gel up around the base of my sharkfin to try and keep water out. @@alexleeteehee
At first I wanted a 2019 X5 but then I saw the X3M40i was cheaper and better engine, plus you can add mods and I’ve been looking at different videos and seeing this definitely sold me on it
Dude first off, thanks for the vid. I appreciate in depth vids from actual owners. #2, killer fuckin thighs and calves my guy! I gotta get on your leg day routine!
Castrol oil for BMW is the wrong oil. Yes i know on the bottle it says for BMW. Read the owner's manual, it specifically says do not use Castrol for BMW. You need FE 14 or 17, just buy BMW oil. Also why not just buy BMW oil filter, they cost almost the same. And buy ramps instead of using a jack. It will change your life!
MANN manufactures BMW's oil filters (at least F series and above) also the BMW dealership I worked at used Castrol. Guy seems to be doing the right things
Thanks for vid have 2018 x3m40 stage 2 (mhd)48k we daily acuras rlx and tlx and i drive only weekend (700 to 1k monthly miles) but do have fun when it is driven tho lol. I have vrsf dp, mst cai, and cts charge pipe seen 470 few times normally bout 460. I dont think im gonna ever get rid of the truck,(200k maybe lol) gonna grab a m240 when i see a good deal.
i’ve already done that. not the solution. i’ve already read essentially every thread regarding the issue with it potentially being the battery and they all typically got a code with the battery being low. not my case 🙃
I got rid of my 2018 X3 M40i about 4 years ago and regretted it and now looking to get a used 2020 with 16k miles but feeling lost. Drove the 2021 X3MC and damn my teeth feel loose and my wife complained about her boobs bouncing the entire time we test drove it. I want the Competition but love the Comfort of the M40i.
Hi Alex! Happy new year :) I'm thinking about purchasing a 2019 BMW X3 M40i. The car has 43,000 miles, one owner, and all the maintenance was correctly and timely done in BMW's dealership... it seems to be in good shape. The car was mainly used in highways and not inside cities. What do you think? Would you try your luck?
I had the same code on my g05 x5, and the mic is not working, but one time my wife shut the door pretty hard and that code was gone since😂, and is been 3 months still good
I love my 2019 X3 M…. I had a 2013 X3 and it doesn’t compare! Still trying to figure out if I have automatic start because the mornings are cold and I can’t lock the doors after I start the car without the alarm going off 🤦🏽♀️!
have you tried downloading the bmw connect app? (i don’t use it/ even know if i have it) 😂. i just hop in, shiver for a lil bit and blast the seat and steering heaters
The B58s are one of BMW's really breakthroughs when the enthusiast were giving up on them the B58s brought them back, In fact Toyota put it in their own Supra so that shows great faith right there. I am deciding between an x3 and x5, want the inline 6 with B58 but some of the more advanced options may not be worth it such as the air suspension, would rather the springs, do not need my car's ass to be dropped when walking out to it in the morning and a $5000 repair bill that hopefully gets it back to where it was.
I had the same issue with the TCU were the seal around the fin failed and allowed water to enter and short out the TCU. I had just rolled over on the factory warranty but had platinum extended warranty / service. They were able to put it as a warranty claim. It involves replacing the tcu unit and re-sealing the fin. In my opinion, this should be considered as a manufacturing defect as the sealer they used from factory fails. It's not a defect caused by car washes.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jhOtcLE1Me8.html
since the car is beyond warranty miles, purchased not under cpo nor extended warranty… wouldn’t there have to be a recall for anything to be considered their “fault” for a free fix?
@@alexleeteehee you can try to ask for "good will" assistance with a dealership that you have a good relationship with. It's worth a shot even if they cover some of it.
I have this popping up right now. It’s annoying! Then, the forums mentioned BMW uses 2G-3G-4G bands that no longer exist. Forums recommend coding it Out vs. Battery change. Bad design by BMW
also what’s crazy is that a couple days ago, the message went away and the mic worked again for about 24 hours before reverting back to an error and mic not working. might just take the headliner off and see where the mic routes to and check connection since it technically still works
