2022 BMW X3 M Comp
A new review from Savagegeese was released today and sadly it still rides like shit otherwise I would be a player. No clue why BMW did not address this during the LCI phase as it is well-known that the suspension is way too harsh for an SUV.

The high cargo floor is a pain with dogs in my Mazda, too, which kind of has me looking at Audi Allroads again...D'oh! (Although a caveat is some of the jacked-up wagons out there have a tailgate that isn't much lower than small SUVs, ie: Subaru Outbacks.) |

The savage geese review was actually pretty good for it minus the rough ride for some people. Surprising to me for a new BMW

I actually couldn't tell from the review if his test car actually rode as badly as the pre-facelift one he'd tried. He mentioned something about the ride being better on this car because it was on snow tires, and all of the stuff he mentions about the ride being really bad for rear seat occupants sounds like it was just carryover from his last review.

Unfortunately, Audi doesn't seem to fit the mild hybrid to their S4/5 cars- yet the same engine gets a mild hybrid in the A6/7.

I do not see the option for the spare on the X3M nor listed as standard equipment, but the raised floor is evident in the video. The spare is optional ($150) on the 30i/M40i making the floor flat without it. I have not seen many ordered with the spare solely because of the raised floor.
My dog rides in the rear seat with a Orvis dog seat cover/hammock installed. Regardless she can (currently)/jump into whatever I point to while saying “place.” Last edited by SCA; 01-17-2022 at 05:16 PM. |
