Yes! Thank you so much for accepting my request. Looking forward to this.

Thank YOU Thomas! It’s a great lower alternative to the x5 phev

Hi Thomas, thanks for this one. Glad you're taking requests - how about making the first serious, proper review of the BMW 330e xDrive Touring? We all know the interior and exterior now - but curious to hear your evaluation of how it handles and drives compared to the Sedan and RWD versions- and which cars your think are its main rivals (Audi has no hybrid A4).

Thank you for the very thorough and intelligent review. Have fun!

Fantastic Review! I got what I needed to know.

Thomas, can you compare X3 Plugin Hybrid with the Audi Q5e Plugin Hybrid please? I want to know which drives better and is a better car overall for money

This would be so much better with i6 3.0l engine. You could have both electric car for everyday and sport SAV car for when you need it.

Finally a handsfree Mic 🎤, it was so awkward seeing you grabbing that mic all the time, well done. Also about the car, is a good compromise of quality, space and drivability for a small family..

BMW. Please give this man Sensatec seats, every time.

Another great in depth video Thomas. I was getting worried about the red van!

Great review, as always. 😎 Lovely SUV. Also, I am loving the new thumbnail design for the videos. Lovely and cool work. 🤗

Great video and and insight. Thanks Thomas

Great detailed review as always Thomas! But what is the objection your neighbours have to allowing charging outlets in your basement?

BMW X3 xDrive 30e AND BMW 330e M Sport akan menjadi SAFETY CAR di Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, INDONESIA. Sirkuit ini akan akan masuk kalender MotoGP di tahun 2022

Hi Thomas, thanks for this one. What do you think about entry level 20i engine 184hp on this car? Or much better the 20d?

Great, well-balanced review.

iX3 but Spartanburg fabrication would be preferred since I'm in N America. I watched fuel first but fühl is worth the extra time! Great content, danke Thomas!

Stay safe and healthy always Thomas and Autogefuhl team..

Any chance to compare this car to the Volvo XC60 T6 in a next video?

What was your fuel consumption driving just in CITY on Auto eDrive mode? At what speed car switches from electric to gas? How long does it take for a car to charge a depleted battery strictly on gas mode while driving in a city and urban?

Amongs all the SUVs I have tried (more than 10) the X3 is definitely the best. Juste a shame I can't buy this one right now. I'll wait to buy it second hand to replace our Peugeot 3008.

Ugh... that battery packaging is not acceptable. PHEV model needs to be considered when designing the chassis. Hope BMW learns from the RAV4 Prime (just in terms of packaging), which loses virtually no luggage space and even retains a space for a spare tire.

This guy has such a nice voice. Like podcast nice

As usual you have the best reviews but I decided on the IX3.. Need to consult my piggy bank!!

Thanks Thomas! Excited to get mine.

Thomas, can you cpmpare the 2021 X3 PHEV vs 2021 Q5 PHEV?

Du machst sehr gute Videos, ich finde auf deutsch kann aber zusätzlich ein Review erfolgen

The new thumbnail looks like it was designed by a 15 year old in his first class of graphics design. Good things should not change. Keep it serious, you're the best automotive channel on RU-vid, please keep it that way.

Great review.

I would like to see testdrive MB diesel hybrid, how economy with diesel plug-in, e.g. MB e300de

Hi Sir. Just confused to ask you about plug in bmw or audi q5. Does it require every time drive must use ev or we have optional either one? Just because I don't want ( actually no much time to charge). Just want to use gasoline only. Thank you and love your review European vehicles.

Now its time to compare to 2021 kia Sorento PHEV, don't you think Thomas?

"I really love these wings lights. I sometimes turn it on and look at it". This works especially well whilst smoking a joint, having a line of coke ready to go on top of the dash, and a good malt to wash it down 😂But seriously, how did you find the seat comfort. I have an X3 with the M-Sport set up. The seats are bloody uncomfortable, especially on long drives.

Nice review and nice thumbnail

Most dapper, this day, Tomas. 👍😎👌

Another phevfect review! Great car but I prefer other engines

Please review the Mercedes A250e. There doesn't appear to be any good reviews on this vehicle. Looking forward to yours!

I will like to see a test with the Alpine A110 :)

This model doesn't have adaptive suspension?

Hey Thomas , i see you're going for a Clark Kent look :D .

Functionally perfect?

Thomas, you do know that leather is natural and Sensatec is carbohydrate?

I collect my X3 PHEV xDrive 30e on Saturday and cannot wait , this will be my first X3 and Hybrid :)

X345e would be perfect. Or the ix3 with dual motors.

Hey, Thomas. 🤗 I think I need to talk about the new thumbnail approach. Even though I love the new approach to the thumbnails, I must say that I felt more of a "connection" to the prior approach, because I see you (Ajay, Brian, etc) in the same real space and environment as the vehicle/s being reviewed. I felt as though the previous thumbnail approach gave me a sense of realism by showing the presence and size of the vehicle relative to the reviewer and the backdrop. The thumbnails felt unfiltered, but instead felt natural...just like videos. The thumbnails also showed the beautiful photography skills of Autogefühl. A true Autogefühl and Autogefuel fan will notice a certain consistency in the respective channel's thumbnails, lol. Anyway, take your video on the G-wagon variants: The G550 (I think) and the G63. That thumbnail was of both G-wagon models, and the backdrop was on a beautiful outdoor landscape typically associated with the G-wagon (and vehicles alike) since it is an off-road vehicle, so it gave me a feeling that I am about to watch an outdoor-sy video with an outdoor-sy car. Of course, the title of the video adds to that. Another example of the top of my head is thumbnail for the new GLE 53 Coupé. In my opinion, that was a beautiful thumbnail taken in that beautiful icy landscape, so (with the length of the video) I had the feeling that I will be watching a long video about the all-wheel drive car in a wet, cold weather, and I must snuggle and tune in. One more example. Take your video with the new GLE 53 at the motors how with Brian. Just by looking at the thumbnail I know the video is taking place at a motor show or studio, because I see a lot of lights on the car and Brian next to it. I knew before clicking that the review will have talking in the background from attendees and that it will be a bit crowded, which it was. I knew there will not be a driving segment and possibly no engine soundcheck. Only a tour of the exterior and interior. If that thumbnail was made with this new approach, I would be a bit blind and assume that there may be a driving portion with an engine soundcheck, then be disappointed that it is just a video taken in the auto show. Note: not everyone knows when a vehicle is released, and some people watch videos that are posted a long time ago. So, a GLE 53 customer could search for a real-world review of the car, but be disappointed that they clicked a video that takes place just at the auto show. Anyway, it is not just about the beauty of the thumbnails, but also what they communicate. Personally, I feel as though the current thumbnail approach lin this video with the BMW would work better with vehicles you guys do not have in person, as then it shows me that you do not have the car with you in person, but you will be commenting on it. I think that works better than just using a picture or screenshot from the automotive brand's pictures or videos. An example of where this new thumbnail approach could work is the early video/s with the new E-Class facelift. Due to coronavirus, you did not have the car, bit had information on it, and you did a voiceover. That is just my feedback, of course. You do not have to change your approach just because of what I said. I am just one of your many viewers. I am not going to hate the videos, all of a sudden, just because of my feelings on the thumbnails. 🤗 You know me; I am always for change. As I say repeatedly, I am willing to let the change sink in...even when I have initial doubt of it, and I will not hate on it so soon. I give it a chance. If it does not work out, I will move on and it will "sink out," lol. At the end of the day, it is 100% your choice to change. Even if thousands of people commenting and telling you to change it, you don't have to. It is your choice. I hope you understand what I am trying to say here. I don't know if I was clear enough. And I promise I am not a hater. Thank you for hearing me out. 🤗

Is there any news from BMW about a X3 45e model ? Does anyone know....

Hi BMW x3 phev vi Kia Sorento phev?

I need this legendary car 😍👍👍

I remember when the x5 was a mid size suv!!

I really want BMW to make a BMW X3 M40e.

WoW, a 'normal' grill

Where’s that HUGE microphone?

So in the end we are still here fighting the bureaucracy for the charging station at home but, hey, let’s give some tax benefits to electric cars that costs 100k!

Thank you Thomas for review. Watch all of yours ;)

I find it really off-putting and disgusting that a car manufacturer virtue-signals their (so-called) 'green credentials' (so as to leverage sales... no other reason) by developing, releasing and marketing an electric vehicle... and then go and plaster said vehicle's interior with animal skin. _God-damn hypocrites!_

That battery might catch 🔥

That red van was super pushy....

1:10 Da sieht man dass du deutscher bist aber sehr gut english kannst. Danke fürs review!

Why did bmw detune the 4 cyl engine in this phev version?

thomas is showing more of his animal skin in the thumbnails recently i noticed

I know that you are very concerned about this, but these leather seats look fantastic. And I'm not so sure that the animals are tortured to take that skin. This is not cow skin, so not animals that will anyway be killed for food?

Better than the ix3

Ansich grenzt das ganze ja schon an gefährlichen Eingriff in den Straßenverkehr, was der Herr da treibt.... ich konnte oft gar nicht hinschauen. Video drehen, sprechen und gleichzeitig den Lane Assist in einer Einzelspur der Baustelle vorführen, auf 40 kmh bremsen auf der Beschleunigungsspur....

What has happened with thumbnails? Whose kid does this weak design?

Never a BMW again. Overpriced scrap.

Please change this new style of Thumbnails...the earlier style was classy..now it looks ridiculous...please please switch back to how it was before

It would rather be the iX3 for me if I were to get an X3 today. However, I'm still waiting for the 330xe Touring I ordered this summer (with alcantara and Sensatec interior, naturally). Whenever BMW releases a pure electric estate car, I'll be all over it! Until then, I will have to make do with a PHEV. For 95% of my driving, I can drive it all-electric anyways...

Garbage Hybrid. Teslas are the best. In Musk we trust.
