Oh I have no doubt. B58 and ZF8 combo in my wife’s X3 is amazing. I couldn’t imagine that in the 3 door hatch body. I feel like I’d HAVE to get the six speed though. 

Do the BMW route. Even the little 218i with the 3 cylinder is great to drive apparently. 

I doubt it’ll ever happen, but the idea of an M140i in 20 years or whenever they’re legal to import to the US is awesome. 

Sync 3 is pretty good when the APIM(head unit) is working properly. I’m on my 3rd one now, all under warranty and extended warranty but the last one got so painfully slow and buggy that I too wanted to punch the screen at times. 

Kristen, an official response from BMW as to why this was the first M-sport packaged BMW that didn’t get a M-sport steering wheel would be nice.

That’s the only complaint about ours and will have one ordered as soon as they’re available. 2019s should all have M-sport wheel. 

Dude drives race cars and didn’t want to like it and ended up loving every bit of it. 

Mercedes definitely costs more or ends up costing more with similar features. My wife preferred the way the M40i drove compared to the GLC.

Don’t pay MSRP for the brand new car and have all the newer tech and more fun in the X3. If you need the size get the X5 or wait until the new one comes out.

Sport display must be at the crank.

Finally!

Looks exactly how you’d expect a big BMW coupe to look. 

I had a cowlick on the back of my head on the way to work this morning and used the head rest to hold it down... Don’t think that actually worked but it’s gone now. 

In a world of digital gauge clusters and/or mixed analog/digital this seems extremely dated.

That is a little odd, you’re right. 

Why such terrible graphics on a screen in 2018?

Works perfectly fine for me in my 16 Ford and 18(worked the same in 04 and 08) BMW. Most of the year the only climate buttons I’m pressing are heated or cooled seats, and rear window defroster. I leave it on 68 in my truck and it’s good to go.

Thought I didn’t want the 360 camera on my F150 until I bought one on the lot that had it and I love it. 

Why would you ever need to adjust fan speeds? Leave it on auto.
