BMW X3 M40i - pictures and specs
Discussion
Yes. The space saver wheels raises the boot a bit. Hopefully picture below explains. Without the spare, the boot is flat. But boot still fine for me and like having a spare as will be ditching run flats soon!
I’ve only done 700 miles so far, so hard to judge mpg. My commute to work - 10 miles in traffic getting about 25 mpg, on longer run with clear roads, getting 34 mpg. I’m not a high mileage driver, so knew mpg wouldn’t be great!
Heading down to Lake District tomorrow, so will get a better feel for mpg....as long as I can keep keeping it out of sport! Which is hard.....
Came out of 330d xdrive with ACS springs. This is a step up in all areas!
Let me know if you need to know anything else. Are you thinking of getting one?

I'm currently in a 340i touring and doing man maths Let me know if you need to know anything else. Are you thinking of getting one?
I haven't driven the X40i yet, just the 30d, and that was very impressive. A real step up from the F25 X3 and from my F31.
My 340 is under warranty until Sept 19 but i have a feeling i'll be trading it for one of these between now and then.
Thanks for sharing your real world experience, would be great to know more once you've had a bit more time with it

Hoping for September/October delivery.
We're long overdue a catch up anyway!

But it’s still interesting. I did a quick price/spec up on broker4cars...
Unfortunately I don’t think I could stomach £25,000 down the drain in 3yrs... and I doubt many will have decent spec to buy AUC as they’ll be mostly financed
Tempted to go try one to see if they really are *that* good though.
Did anyone test one on both rft and normal tyres before making a choice?

Small thread update - my order is going in on Tuesday.
Phytonic, 20's, debadged
Apparently from July there's a small drop in power (EU emissions regs) but it'll gain the M Performance diff. Hoping to take delivery in September.
So begins the long wait...
Many congratulations! You will love it. I hope the wait isn’t too long! I’ve had mine nearly 3 months now. Loving it!!!! The engine is getting better and better as it’s brojen in. The exhaust sound is just fantastic!!!Phytonic, 20's, debadged

I test drove an M Sport on 20” wheels and RFT tyres and the ride was a huge improvement on the current X3. So much so I didn’t opt for the adaptive (but I seem to be in a minority that prefers the passive suspension plus it’s my wife’s car and she won’t ever change any settings!)
