Why? If you are in the market for a mid sized sporty SUV, has to be on the shortlist surely?

That sound!

I wasn't sure about Joe at first but the more I see the more I kinda like his style. He isn't up himself, doesn't try and portray him self as something he isn't. Just chatting about cars, having Tony there gives a dealership view of what's coming through product wise too.

I think they make quite a good duo, not totally polished which makes a nice change.

I think that M40i could surprise quite a few people on start up and at the lights.

Not a fan of that colour in the video at all.

Nice car, wheels especially look awesome, but that exterior/interior colour combo is horrendous!

I'm probably just a bit grumpy after the disappointment of tonight's TG but am I alone in thinking the X3 M40i is just a waste of a good engine?

Nice sounds but not a looker

Video also needs a Trish lookalike to make it more engaging.

Nice. Quite tempted till I realised I didn't want an SUV, so probably an S4 Avant, but I certainly get the appeal

Will be interested in reading your review when you have covered a few miles in it.

Looks great
