Review of a tuned X3 M Competition

AlexFL · 05-08-2020, 12:16 AM

This car was modded by PSI in Orlando (custom downpipes and a tune) to make 577 whp (~680-690 bhp). That is more or less what you get with BM3 St. 2 93 octane OTS map.

I first thought this could be SWOT1’s ride but then remembered that he switched to the 265/295 setup.

Another enjoyable video, Alex - thanks for sharing. Gotta agree with Boeing - I also got a sense he didn't feel in total control (esp during LC).

At the 20'44" mark, he mentions he has never tried LC before, so it might have been a good idea to practice before putting it on video, but his reactions were priceless. I'm still not sure he ever got it right, though. He admits to that after his first attempt around 21'03", but even on the second when he felt he had it figured out he's manually shifting (21'26" mark).

Haha, he did seem to be somewhat intimidated by the ferocity of the tuned X3. His launch attempt reaction was indeed priceless!

Come on bro, you’re too harsh to him 😁. Young guy is trying to make some BMW youtube content, it was actually not bad considering this is only his fourth or fifth video.

pluckydks · 05-08-2020, 11:29 AM

Roughly $3000 for the Dinan set vs $3000 per axle for HRE. Clowns

Good vid, I’m surprised how many people haven’t got a clue how to properly use LC.
