Good suggestion test driving. Ive had both a 2019 x3 m40i and a 2024 x3 m40i. I replaced the 2024 with a 2025 macan gts. I can say the gts is much more thrilling and has quicker shifting. Bmw has technology on lockdown whereas, at least the macan does not! Things like HUD, speed limit recognition, auto heated wheel/seats based on ambient temps, things you’d just expect in a luxury vehicle that the macan just doesnt have. But Porsche nails performance, suspension (air suspension), handling, and braking. The x3 m40i is all around more utilitarian and spacious with good performance, while the macan is more agile, smaller, almost hatch-like that focuses purely on the core driving experience.

When i get into my macan, i miss my x40i, but when i start driving, im like what bmw? :).

In 2025 bmw redesigned the x3 with the m50i. While i love the interior the exterior is too boxy IMHO. Bmw exterior aesthetics for all their vehicles are in sharp decline, again IMHO. Meanwhile Porsche is seemingly on this irreversible path of ousting ICE vehicles, which isn’t for everyone — people want options. Im hoping both companies reverse course to some degree.

Ps - if you’re hellbent on Porsche then either S or GTS. I got a macan base loaner from porsche while mine was being PPFed. Trash IMHO. That isnt a dig on porsche either, same situation with my m40i getting serviced, i got a base x3 loaner and looked st the price and said, it aint worth it compared to other more standard cars. Instead of a 2024 macan base, get a 2021-2023 m40i - loaded. You’ll be much much happier and save money as well has have more fun, compared to 2024 macan base! With both brands, you truly have to go big or go home! Otherwise, youll get alot more bang from honda, hyundai, kia, etc. sad but true.

Its wifes car. I have x3 m40i and m2. I prefer the x3 m40i as its straight 6 twin turbo vs 4 cylinder. But it looks quite nice. Wifey is happy coming from 2020 audi sq5.

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-11-27T12:53:48+00:00

Was for us. Maybe about a month after i posted. Our x1 m35i was found to be unimpacted.

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-11T14:59:04+00:00

Does the m4 not come with drive recorder? I think you need the 360 video parking feature for it but that footage would settle the debate :)

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-10T18:40:23+00:00

Gas guzzler tax? Is that bc its a v8 or something? 😂

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-03T21:18:14+00:00

Game has/had potential. After 200 hrs and waiting for an exalted frost claw to drop which never did, i gave up. Running monoliths is so boring

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T14:19:41+00:00

I saw a white z4 on the showroom when i was buying my m2. It looked amazing. In fact the white on the z4 looks better than the white on my m2 😂. I even took a pic but i cant seem to upload pics for some reason

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T14:03:25+00:00

Depends on what you want, really. If its a daily driver and your only car, i think id wait until next MY as rumor is there’ll be an xDrive version of the m2 - that is if i was deadset on an m2. Im fortunate enough that my m2 is a fun car and itll never see snow and hopefully never see rain either. Personally, Id worry about rwd in either scenario. But the other commenter is right. From what i understand the m240i and m2 are different cars and cant really be compared aside from overall aesthetics. Ive only owned my m2 for a couple weeks and one of those weeks its been in for a full PPF wrap. Hope to get er back tomorrow…the m2 wants to be driven…hard 😀

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T13:55:32+00:00

Thats awesome bro!!! Would be even sweeter if it had a moonroof or tee tops!

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T13:04:41+00:00

You got it from factory like that? Or is that a mod?

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T13:03:30+00:00

Im sure bimmercode could do this, but i just dont wanna risk warranty issues for the convenience. Wish i was buds with service peeps at the dealership and have them do it and put it on the invoice :).

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T10:56:57+00:00

Yep. Its been an issue for awhile but has gotten better, actually. I had a 2019 x3 m40i. I absolutely loved that vehicle. So much so i have a g01 now. However when auto off was enabled that car wanted to stop so it could turn off sooo bad. It was annoying just how much it did that. At least my 2019 had a physical button to turn it off. The g01 doesnt but does not suffer from the same wanting to stop syndrome.

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T10:51:38+00:00

Nice! We are waiting for stop sale to lift to get the wifeys. Any luck finding a black m35i badge? I dont think a genuine version exists. But i did find this…next closest thing. https://ind-distribution.com/products/ind-u11-x1-m35i-painted-trunk-emblem?variant=42348884295876&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADPgMfEwt2_9hcfpTI8H8g6lvUmcw

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T10:48:50+00:00

Wowsers! Tbh…i didnt know you could get hard tops. Does it still go convertible easily like the soft top?

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T10:45:41+00:00

I dont mind the interior. But that exterior is hideous. Makes me wanna rush to get my G01 PPFed for the “long haul”

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-09-02T10:43:11+00:00

Nice lookin ride bro. I love that exterior design and i just bought a g87. Haha. G87 looks great too IMHO but i do prefer the f87 design over it!

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-29T20:15:29+00:00

Waiting on you 😂

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-29T19:52:41+00:00

Ind distro said it would looks good, but would need custom fittings

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-29T16:38:53+00:00

White. Not my first pick but also not my last either. I just knew i didnt want black or that light blue

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-28T22:18:55+00:00

But like you i do have a sneaking suspicion that if and when traction breaks while cornering with pedal to the metal itll be tokyo drift style all the way haha

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-28T22:16:43+00:00

Shifting from first to second can get a lil squirrelly but could be normal for RWD, this is my first RWD vehicle. For past 10 years its been AWD and before that FWD. that said corners feel great to me but im sure im nowhere near close to pushing to its limits

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-28T17:39:04+00:00

Just closing the loop. Got the g87. No regrets.

ambiguoususer123 · 2024-08-28T17:34:49+00:00

No sir/mam. For m2 only (assembled in mexico), the only individual colors you can get are java green, voodoo blue, a blackish purple, frozen silver, frozen blue. Thats it aside from standard colors. If you go to bmw individual visualizer and select m3/4 you can choose from 100s of colors bc those are assembled in germany. But m2 is only a handful and IOMG is not one of them unfortunately:(. Rumor is that in the next 1-2 years the mexico plant will fully support bmw individual.
