Matt's bought an SUV. Hell has indeed frozen over.
“You’re only getting photos of the two together so I can get mugged off in the forum.” My girlfriend doesn’t know loads and loads about cars, but she knows all too well that fast estates beat fast SUVs on PH. I honestly can’t call the reaction; some on Twitter suggested there’d been an alien abduction to consider such a swap - “bewildered” was my personal favourite response. On the other hand, there are quite a few forum threads running on X3 M40is from PHers that love their BMWs, so let’s see.
And I have to say – in hushed tones – the X3 is pretty lovely. After my very-limited experience thus far, you understand. It feels sufficiently nice that I’m half-expecting someone to collect it next week and return it to BMW, as per the standard press-car scenario.
Not least because this hasn’t just been bought for easier access to Isofix points and a higher driving position. As an M40i, this X3 is powered by the 3.0-litre B58 straight six that’s also found in the Toyota Supra, Morgan Plus Six, and a host of other M Performance BMWs. As a 2020 car, it’s before the introduction of the mild hybrid tech, but 360hp and 369lb ft is more than enough – BMW reckons it’ll reach 62mph in 4.8 seconds.
We – sorry, Alice – was also lucky to get an M40i with lots of the option boxes ticked, so this has the head-up display, big wheels, adaptive suspension and panoramic roof. Black wouldn’t have been either of our first choices, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Especially when dark blue is as interesting as the colour palette gets. Perhaps it’s not the coolest BMW ever made, though it seems a very good one: great powertrain, decent handling, super refined and reasonably efficient.
