PERFECT Track SUV: Modified BMW X3 M // Nürburgring 

Dude Misha was pissed for a second there JaJAJAJA, they laughed after.

You should go out and socialize more to understand human emotions 😊

@@dogetothemoon223 yes I know he is an adult, but in the moment was funny, ge got pissed for a sec. Thats all.

@@CarHookedVidznah he was pissed the whole time, total vibe killer, understandable, like Misha said, it is a safety hazard. How is one supposed to know if something broke or popped when loose materials are moving around the interior.

The Porsche was so mad haha

There was a beginner in the Porsche, that car is so much faster it's not even funny

@@v_stands_for_value124 seems like you're the only one impressed by that. lol!

Bruno mate, what is the modification list for your beast?

how much power do you run?

The bottle shifted the weight around so much, Misha just kept loosing it because of that. Its a very serious hazard

Great Setup Bruno. That thing really corners flat and can be thrown into a curve. Also the pads are good. The late braking points are always tricky for SUVs.

you sir should have your drivers licence revoked; beside the fact you brought an SUV with more power than decency, you go to track with it as well?!, there should be a law against that...or ar least some rules by the track owners.

its himself i think

he said this bro

It's wild that suddenly removing rear seats on an x3m makes it a cargo van lol

@@johnl.38Afaik at least here its pretty simple: A van can have a maximum of three seats in one row and it needs to have more cargo capacity than it has people capacity. This is calculated with the nominal weight of 68kg per person. Ford fiesta had a pretty popular van version, as the diesel engine was very economical and vans aren't taxed as heavily for having a diesel engine. It was the perfect car for lots of small businesses that need some supplies and one or two people to do whatever job they are doing. You don't see petrol vans here though as the tax benefit comes from being exempt from diesel tax :D

high performance BMW's just have such good engines compared to the competitors

@@stfu6397 They banned import Nissan GTRs from 2022 onwards. Thats their ''competition''

they’re just so good! 😂

​@@s._81yep, my mind was changed on them. I drove a few older ones late 90's to mid 00's) and liked them, but the new ones handle track use very well.

That's where the views are!

It's a Dragon Year, BMW Founded in a Dragon Year😅

Waiting for another E46 ///M3 😅👍🏻

You missed a M in the name X3M, and that is also the answer for your question

@@BMW.535d the overall performance seems to match a stock M2 (F87) from watching the cornerspeeds.

@@Alex-FFM even better, im also so suprized, shitty X3 to do corners like that, well, heavily modified

On the shocks it realy is oem dampers with eibach lowering springs.

@@Brunovd99 that seems to work very good. I listened from many guys that use to built cars for the ring that they suggest to go for lowering springs instead of simple coil overs. If coil overs than some that you can fully adjust and not standard stuff.

Try tuned X3M....it is like mad bull on steroids.

@genderlessyoutubefanperson tried it lovely car, The tyres were a pain, and I just felt firm, but the r power hoo weeee was amazing. I didn't like the x3 run flats as wide as we had them. The noise and ride weren't great to live with. But that's all we goy mostly. I used to work for a leasing firm, mostly business, so fleet cars alphabet car leasing Leeds and also part of ING. Sadly, we got made redundant, I used to get a company car, and if we paid a bit more, we could upgrade, we were pushed to try all stock at dinner times we used to take out all cars. We tried mostly BMW parts, mercs, and Porsches, which were amazing cars, etc I had loads over the years at a company 330d, 335i, compact 323ti, 320i, 320d estate, x3 3d, X 3,35 d, M 235i, mini copper, older 235i and for only one year M3 etc and many others. Almost all cars were fully loaded, which was everything added, so they looked great. Nice cars loved them all. My favourite of the bunch is 335d touring, M235i, and fully enough, X3 335d, the second one I had fully loaded. That thing in black looked mean and was a great all-around car. It's not that big inside. When I had 4 people in, they used to complain in the front, hitting their knees in the rim around the dash. But I loved it Going from that to M3 didn't feel right, I just wanted the X3 back, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, M3 was fast and all, but to live with as daily after the novelty wore off. Not so much. 335 touring or x3 35d fully loaded for a daily 235i as drivers car . What beat them all was the porsche range we tried at dinner time and used to drive to people when we were short staffed the turbo S, GTS , Carrera 4, now that's all me :)

S58 not B58

How does that even work? Only thing I could think of is that a lot of horsepower and no rear seats makes the car fall into a different class, like a sportscar. But I don't understand why a sportscar would be taxed less than an suv

If you take out the backseat it falls in the category of light load like a working van and not like a normal car. That’s the reason why a lot of cars with much horsepower do it in Belgium. You pay tax here on the amount of kw/hp but not with a light load car.

@@mtb8753 ahh so it was related to falling into another class, just not completely what i imagined. Thanks for the clarification!

Yup, driven one and you can feel the potential

Inderdaad Robbin ! ❤

My Ioniq 5 N would like a word (they're both awesome ofc!)

That's like taking gold in the paralympics.

Funny guy.. 👌

Giving Misha your car is like giving your wife to Johnny Simms.

@@future62😂😂

he doesnt test the vehicles prior to the lap as far as i know. He is very experienced which in turn means he feel the brake fade if its occurs. There have been a few videos where the brakes gave up but he knows how to handle it

@@OnlyBigBrain It seems so. I think I once saw that in such a case he turned the steering wheel twice sharply in both directions, apparently slowing down the car with some kind of hook. But I'm far from judging whether something like that works ;-)

Verly likely just personal preference and optics. In practical terms with the X3 you gain about 50-90litres additional trunk volume and slightly more head clearance in the front seats, yet lose a bit of head clearance in the back. People just love their SUVs.

because, how are you going to look like a rich twat in a estate?

Very strange choice. Buy super suv for space, high ride and utility still with great acceleration. And modified to make it like a sport car.

@@ShreksEsel Headroom is more but for the rest the X3 M has less interior space than the M3

In this case the owner has registered it as a commercial vehicle (lichte vracht) because it has no back seat. That gives you tax benefits. This is possible on the X3 M because of its short wheelbase. You can't do that on the M3 touring.

Bruh

X3M conparing to Ioniq 5N....lol.

Stock shocks with eibach lowering springs on them

Good comment

yes, it is a track ready out of the box.

Mx87

@@Brunovd99 Mx87 front and back? How's the noise when street driving?

@@commanderwiggin yes i run them on both, noise is little to none at the end of coming to a complete stop in the winter period (i don’t hear it in the car). Like now 15-20 degrees i’m hearing noting

HAHA

Latest gen X3M is much bigger than a crossover. It is classified as a SAV.

Since it is a X3M it is the S58, the same as in M2/3/4

@@e36_323ti OH, I see. So, it is a proper M. Ok

@@radimfoucek8765 Yes, all the drivetrain and brakes(BMW M5 F90 M8 F91 F92 F93 FRONT LEFT RIGHT BRAKE DISCS PAIR 395mm X 36mm.) are from M5, engine is S58 first introduced on X3M. Then later on M2/M3 and M4 got it. M2 has a de-tuned version.

Competition.

@Brunovd99 thanks! I've been having a great debate about whether I want m3 or x3m. X3ms have depreciated so much it's a cheaper way to get an s58 car, but they'll probably keep depreciating whereas the m3 should dip and go up on value again.

I had that to between the x3m and the m3touring. I liked the wide hips on the m3 but in area a live and work area (harbor) the x3m is much more robust for the bad roads there and in Belgium in general 😢

Both axels need to be same outer diameter then fine

Or less than 1% difference

Year

This X3m is a faster than M GTS. This particular X3M 630 HP, Macan GTS 434HP

The cargo area needs to be 50% of the cars wheelbase. The X3 M has a shorter wheelbase than the M3 touring so that is perhaps why only the X3 M can be converted to a van.

Yep, tax breaks

@@sys-administrator Is that the very same reason why American pick-up truck being common in Belgium?

No, the m3 touring could also be used as a “van”

I have it in my M140i 😂

Nobody said the ecu is flashed😅

Not flashed, most likely a piggy back/tuning box

I traded my F82 M4 comp for the X3MC and yes it's quicker, the extra HP and Xdrive makes up for weight.

He doesn't no if something snapped or not with that happening and it's a distraction

Why...nobody will take a 90k USD SUV off-road.

2024 X3M here, I thought that it is broken at first, but after talking with BMW M engineer, it has advanced cooling system and can lower the water temps in seconds. That way, it produces more torque as a bonus.

@@genderlessyoutubefanperson but seems its lower than operantion temperature. This makes aditional wear, or not? Temperatures are swinguing everytime.
