This is the thread for you folks who would like to share videos of the BMW X3 / X4 M pair.

Again, if you want to share the video for the fun of it, post it HERE in this thread.

If you have a video with some content that you'd like to discuss with other members, it's OKAY to post it in the main thread, but again, mention the points that you'd like to discuss. Otherwise, those posts will moved to this thread.

Thank you!

What tyres was the Stelvio QV on though? It's as much about the tyres these days...

For those of you who are interested, watching these two vids gives a great example of why large gearshift paddles, fixed on the steering column, are crap compared to steering wheel-mounted ones.

Interessting video. Night and day between the Stelvio and X3M. 2,5s delta on a 1:30 track is a huge delta. But the difference is so imminent if you watch one inboard after the other! The X3M is so much more planted/stable with much less understeer, while from the Stelvio lap only the massive tire squeaking and understeer is all I can remember.

If on a track of 1 minute 30 "approx, there is this difference, imagine in the green hell
