Keywords

💡x3m

The x3m refers to the BMW X3 M high performance SUV model. It is a key theme throughout the video, as the host test drives and reviews a modified x3m. He discusses its speed, handling, pricing, and how it compares to other M models. Examples from script: 'apparently one of the fastest x3m in Europe', 'I can't remember driving the next 3M', 'I know it's got the s58 engine'.

💡handling

The video discusses the x3m's handling capabilities as a performance SUV. The host is impressed by the grip and agility at high speeds. He says 'the grip, the agility, the speed, it's everything' and that 'you got a car that produces 510 horsepower from factory' showing the handling enables the power output. It's key to conveying it as a practical yet fast family car.

💡modification

The x3m featured is modified with performance parts like meth injection, exhaust, and tuning to make 830 brake horsepower. This shows the potential to modify it unlike normal SUVs. The host notes it's 'one of one exhaust' and custom tuned software maps to showcase the unique high spec.

💡daily driver

The video examines if the x3m works as a practical daily driver SUV for families, beyond just performance. The host debates if the added attention from its looks is suitable for daily family use compared to his other vehicles. An example quote: 'if I did have the choice of one daily driver you know family car something that I could go fly around and I would have probably got an x3m'.

💡power

The high power figures of the x3m, especially when modified, are mentioned frequently. From 510hp stock to 830hp tuned on this example. The host enjoys demonstrating the real world torque and acceleration, saying 'the most effortless torque in this car...the weight that it just picks this big old weight up and throws it down the road'.

💡pricing

The affordable pricing of the x3m compared to other performance SUVs is discussed as a positive point. The host notes 'you can pick them up for like 50 Grand' and for the performance 'the price point is ridiculous'. Making it attainable for more buyers looking for practical speed.

💡exhaust

The custom aftermarket exhaust on the featured x3m contributes greatly to the vehicle's sound, crackles and pops. This gives it an exciting and sporty character. The host complains 'it's just too loud' but also states 'it actually sounds nice you know, from inside the cabin it's almost like you know when you pull your seats down in your hatchback and you hear the exhaust'.

💡interior

The video examines the x3m's bespoke interior touches like carbon fiber trim and M colors stitching, as superior to normal X3 models. The host says this helps justify the price and performance, noting 'the carbon fiber you can see all your different temperatures coolant' showing unique gauges.

💡tuning

Electronic tuning is discussed for raising the x3m's power significantly beyond stock. The host's friend Dan plans to immediately tune his when he buys one. Examples like 'going straight stage two yeah and then probably next few months maybe more engine' show tuning exploits the M engine's potential.

💡acceleration

The x3m's real world acceleration is praised through segments demonstrating the host using full throttle and speeding up rapidly. Comments like 'literally flatten the throttle - what the hell 10 and 1/2 seconds' convey the sudden acceleration sensation thanks to the torque and grip.

Highlights

The car produces 510 horsepower from factory, tuned to 750 horsepower. With ethanol it can make 830 brake horsepower

It's a 10.5 second quarter mile daily driver that you can give to your wife

This x3M specifically looks pretty cool with the carbon fiber accents

The gearbox shifts faster than dual clutch transmission after tuning

It has an emulator so you can drive handsfree without needing to touch the wheel

The sound reminds me of an E46 M3 with the aftermarket exhaust

It embarrasses an X4 M40i when you put your foot down

It picks up and throws the 2+ ton weight down the road with ease

I think the X3M/X5M get the wrong attention - people always want to race them

After driving it, I've become a bit of a fanboy. It flies.

My friend Dan is buying one, taking delivery on Sunday

Dan agrees it's the ultimate daily driver/family car combo

It reminds me of my M5 but probably just as quick with less weight

It will be the baddest X3M once we modify it

One of the best looking X3Ms out there with the modifications

Transcripts

up yo what's going on people not going

to lie it's been a couple of days

obviously I had to get you my first

Impressions on the

x3m and I tell you right now this car is

just so loud I mean let's just wind the

wi

out I mean

like the thing's just too loud like bro

doing the drive buys for llf games it's

got the lane assist so like as I go over

the white lines it's literally pulling

me in but yeah I've jumped to the

motorway because this car is so bloody

fast I've never actually been a big fan

of the x3m I know it's an amazing car I

know it's got the s58 engine I know with

the

handling what the [ __ ] Bros it's a big

M3 it's actually a big M3 no joke anyway

yeah as I was saying like there's just

something that's put me off of this car

not to say that you know I know it's an

amazing car I know the handing is sick I

know it's fast as F stays too tune

you've got a genuine 10-second daily

driver like what could you want more

than that really you know it's going to

stay with a 992 Porsche turbo on a stage

2 tune like what the f I don't know if

it don't it hasn't got that I don't know

like the x5m feels proper Prestige but

then even that's got an M5 engine in it

you know what I mean with M5 suspension

so yeah I don't know it could be just

I've not been a huge fan on on the looks

obviously now like I say driving it in

person yeah I totally get it and it's

not that I didn't get it but I I can't

deny how awesome this car is it is

[ __ ] sick the grip the agility the

speed it's everything like and the price

point of this you can pick them up for

like 50 Grand they're probably in the

high 40s now I'm actually going to be

picking up a friend in a little bit cuz

he's actually about to buy one of these

and I wanted to uh well actually he

wanted me to take him out in it so he

can see what it's like on the stage too

tune cuz it' be tuning is but it is

honestly sick so yeah I said the car is

offensively loud but you know what no

way near as loud as

my no way near as loud as my M4 my M4

was ridiculous that was fully deced I

think this is like a sports cat on

this this actually sounds nice you know

from inside the cabin it's almost like

you know when you pull your seats down

in your hatchback and you hear the

exhaust exhaust much better cabin size

is really nice man it's not as big as an

X5 but it's just in between you got all

of the M3 M4 style carbon fiber in the

interior obviously we've got the 8speed

ZF gear box and we have the s58 box

literally flatten the

[Music]

throttle like what the hell 10 and 1/2

second4

Mile in a car that you can give to the

misses like bro this is mad and when it

comes to the handling yeah the handling

is something else I've definitely become

a bit of a fanboy I know the internet

loves this car there's loads of people

that own them and it's the price point

the price point is ridiculous as I said

they got to be into the' 40s you got a

car that produces 510 horsepower from

Factory stays too tune 750 horsepower

you want to run some ethanol you can run

this car's power 830 brake

Madness now you've heard me before guys

I love the handsfree feature on a car

and on this one he's actually had an

emulator installed so usually every 15

to 20 seconds you have to touch the

wheel to let the car know that you're

still awake and you're still sort of you

know paying attention but this car's had

an emulator install which means I can

drive for an hour 2 hours as long as I

want I can drive handsfree literally

have not got to touch the wheel I

noticed a lot of you commenting before

about this is an old feature and yeah it

is a feature that's on many other cars

but to have it in a [ __ ] high

performance car this or on the M3

touring is just what is extra special I

think you got the ZF box it's been tuned

rapid shifts faster than the Dual clutch

transmission and I'm not usually a fan

of these flat bottom wheels and the

carbon fiber in a in a BM it usually to

me it feels a bit tacky but in this x3m

specifically it actually looks pretty

cool like I wouldn't want it any other

way you got the lever the M stitching

the carbon fiber you can see all your

different uh temperatures coolant o o

the door cars a carbon fiber with an

ambient light strip see look van moves

out the way the car goes back up to its

7 mph speed you can also see we've got

the panoramic roof with ambient lighting

at night it looks sick and even these

seats they're just that bit better than

you'd get in say an M3 or an M4 unless

you get the buckets of

course sick and this is the meth

controller here as well may have missed

that when the owner was speaking about

it lever door cards

[Music]

[ __ ] loud man I need to turn these

pops and bangs off somehow it can be

done the owner did mention how to do it

but I've forgot it's been a couple of

days uh but yeah pops and bangs

definitely get them off whoever wins it

and yeah if I've not mentioned this car

is live on the website as well uh

tickets will be like 69p 79p definitely

want to have a chance of winning this

bad

boy oh my God

tunnel yeah that's just off key

man [ __ ]

that

the most effortless torque in this car

you just think it's what 2.4 tons

probably like it's going to be something

silly isn't it over 2 tons well over 2

tons um the weight that it just picks

this big old weight up and throws it

down the

road

ah the shifts are sick it's like it's

throwing fuel back in the exhaust like

on purpose it's just got a real nice

grass just clock that actually does

sound like a bloody E46 M3 doesn't it we

got a we got an X

40i in front X4

m40i have a

listen bro I'm getting to a point where

my a like this is actually

embarrassing bro he actually

embarrassing it's like cringy

almost M fuming don't like to hurt

people's feelings like this you know

what I mean man's and his X

4

m40i and then you just see an x3m go by

put your foot down in this

car

M big

M3 and we probably not even got in the

right map there's three switchable maps

on this car you got a 99 95 99 and you

got the ethanol map as well and if we do

turn the methanal on which you don't

need it it probably runs even quicker

because keep it intake temps a little

cooler most high performance cars after

two three runs I can hear the fans after

two three

runs you are going to start zapping a

bit of the power you

know

second

mad this thing

flies so I bought a daily driver about 6

months ago like something for the family

and I was debating an x5m I was thinking

about an

x3m and the reason I didn't go for

either one of them the x5m or the x3m is

just I think they just get that wrong

attention it's one of them cars now

isn't it you see them over social media

everybody wants to race it it's got that

racy sort of almost 140 attention do you

know what I'm trying to say not to

disrespect the car but it's just like I

don't want my family in the vehicle and

have some kids trying to race the car

you know what I'm trying to say it's

cool and

everything there another M that's a m340

blood the hell

man um yeah I don't want to have my

family in the car

and you know what I mean have people

going crazy trying to

race everywhere I go you know so I did

end up buying something different

something that just doesn't get the same

attention but if I could go back would I

buy this I mean after driving this now

it is bloody cool and you know this is a

cheaper car as well than what I ended up

buying I probably still would go with

what I ended up buying to be fair one

thing you do have to remember is I do

have a few other cars around me high

performance cars so realistically if I

did have the choice of one daily driver

you know family car something that I

could go fly around and I would have

probably got an x3m like I say I've got

an M3 touring it's the same engine do

you know what I

mean um x5m was really thinking x5m but

same I think just unwanted

attention I like Rick you Candy Camera

bro you say my G what you saying hey

steak plug come on that's you now man

like that got the wag go come on G my

G that this is bad this is what I'm

saying this is bad my boy so Dan I've

already told them that you're looking at

an x3m so I thought I'd come pick you up

x3m Sunday bro Sunday Sunday okay I

didn't want to say just in case got yeah

Sunday bro sick sick quick trip up to

Manchester and we are it may even come

with you not 100% but let me know bro

colle I'm going straight stage two yeah

and then probably next few months maybe

more

engine this is what's this pump no no F

pump yeah I don't even know if it's even

in this 99 map this car's got meth as

well right it has yeah yeah have you got

meth turn on no but it doesn't make the

car quicker anyway keeps yeah I mean

like you know when you do multiple runs

in it you didn't take time to get hot in

it so you do lose a bit of power

sometimes but it's not you don't need

the ma nice speckers what is sameers

mine bro just my car's red yeah yeah I

think it looks nice the one you sent me

look yeah that's it yeah it's not that

one I sent you though another one he got

the same bits in everything yeah

everything's coming we got Splitters I

race you that time my Civic is it yeah

for anyone that don't remember I

remember my Civic yeah that was the

remember when I did The Little Mexico

thing in the C Tha bar Dan was in one of

the

m40s give a man smoke in it on a 4x4

same

again

bro feel like 4

M listen I'm start Sund the misses out

ja bro I'm telling you you got the

ultimate family car that's what I was

saying like if I didn't have a few cars

around me this probably would be the

ultimate one this what I mean between

bro you can what you're in a 10sec daily

like genuine and bro say 4050 bags

exactly you got s58

exactly

she tucks bro even in

it doesn't feel like a 4x4 it's easy

performance as well though remember your

m140 it's going to be all sketchy scatty

it may even feel quicker but this is

putting it down this is put reminds me

of your M5 obviously not as quick yeah

same strip as well no probably probably

is as quick bro ain't weight in it yeah

the steering wheel was nice yeah I'm not

usually a fan of these wheels but it

looks nice in there is it you know what

you see with your eyes the carbon carbon

just looks nice it suits the cabin

Sunday pump I'm fast enough bro you must

gas gas so this is going to be the

baddest with you had is it

100% we're back at the unit just thought

I quickly show you the car looks

absolutely sick especially with the

aftermarket alloys I cannot believe how

fast this car is obviously we had three

people in the car initially I was like

yeah it's quick but bro driving it by

yourself whole different thing got to be

one of the best looking x3m out of there

especially with the modifications but

yeah guys I am going to end the video

there as always if you enjoyed it hit

the thumbs up subscribe if you're new

let me know what you'd like me to film

next we've got a couple of cars in the

unit which I should have showed you I

probably showed it in the last video but

remember the cars live on the website

lfg games.com Link in the description

somebody will be winning it for

literally 69p probably 79p something

silly like that so I'll see you next
