The hot rod I all ways wanted

I leased an 2021 X3 30i, I moved up to the 2024 X3 40i fully loaded! It is night and day compared to my previous X3. It took me a two weeks to get comfortable with how fast this car is! In comparison my first BMW that was a 1997 540i Sedan with 282 HP V8! It was an amazing car, loved it! But this 40i with M suspension takes that to a new level! Everything is sharper, steering, throttle response, cornering, breaking! The only down side is the run flats, the ride is too harsh, this is my third X3 and I’ve switched out the run flats on those vehicles and got a much nicer ride and I’ll be doing that with this one. Oh one more thing, a car turned into my lane from a left hand turn lane she decided to go up one more street before making a left, a saw her turn into me and I later found out that the X3 avoided her on its own! It felt weird (steering wheel movement) I thought i did the steering input but one of the genius guys at the dealer told me the car avoided her I was shocked! Amazing!!! I owned a Honda accord that had cameras in the side mirrors like This car (SUV) it feels like a car, i drive it every day because I’m addicted, the acceleration from a stop at an intersection is awe-inspiring the lower speeds are where this vehicle shines it’s so solid in its footing so drivable so much the master in this space it’s like that dance partner, like Michael Jordan in a crowd of lessor beings! Then there’s the Harmon Kardon system oh my God yes I spelled that out because it’s Amazing!!! I play bass guitar in multiple bands and I’m very critical of how we should sound this system is better than itunes atmos and I really like atmos! I shouldn’t say this but I’ve driven this car up to 127 MPH several times now, Wow I’ve never done that before with any other car but it happens so fast! I’m in love!

Horrible driver side wind noise

Driver side window has horrible wind noise. Dealer had it for over a week and brought it back stating “they made some tweeks” but I don’t notice any improvement. It is infuriating to pay 70k for a car and hear wind noise at speeds 60 and above with no resolution.

Not a mild hybrid fan

This 24 model came with the mild hybrid system. I don't like it. Not as much power and horrible gas mileage as compared to my previous 21 X3M40i. I can go into a corner fast but when I want more power applied, it times out for a few seconds. No it is not lag. It is the electric boost. It is horrible to count on. I won't buy another BMW if it has the hybrid system. Gas mileage is horrible too but supposed to be as good if not better. My best so far is 24.5 and I had to baby it and put it on cruise at 60. It normally gets 21-22 unless I start gassing hard then it drops to 18-19. My previous 21 X3M40i got me 34.7 at 75 and also gave me 22mpg at over 100mph. It was a gasoline only engine. UPDATE: I have the X3M40i and love it. High performance when I need it. Quite comfy and my worst mileage is 23.5 at 80mph on cruise whereas my best is 29.5 at 70mph on cruise. No problems to speak of. Love how it corners and has a 4.4sec 0-60.
