BMW X3 M40i goes to Tadoba

Since I bought my BMW X3 M40i successful Nov 2023 I person been itching to instrumentality it connected a agelong drive. My archetypal agelong travel was to Tipeshwar tiger reserve successful Maharashtra successful Feb 2024. Had immoderate bully tiger sightings there. So I planned a travel to Tadoba successful April from 18-21st 2024. I person been an avid vertebrate and wildlife lensman and erstwhile you are bitten by the tiger bug determination is nary stopping. Booked 4 safaris and planned enactment astatine Svasara lodge adjacent Kolara gate. The thrust from Hyderabad to TATR (Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve) is astir 530KM with astir of the roadworthy successful fantabulous information barring the past 50 unusual KM which has batch of diversions arsenic they person been laying a factual roadworthy since a mates of years which is inactive nether progress.
Took a luncheon interruption astatine Avni edifice (Foxtail earlier) astatine Tipeshwar wherever we person stayed galore times earlier. The manager Mr Shiv arranged a sumptuous repast for us. We did the aforesaid connected our mode backmost and it took astir 8 hours each way. I drove by myself with my household with me. The practicality of the M40i is unbeatable. Loads of luggage and bully abstraction for household to chill in.
We did 2 safaris successful Kolara halfway and 1 each successful Belara buffer and Alizanza buffer.
In all, we saw tigers successful each safaris and a full of 9 tigers each together! Got immoderate bully photograph opportunities and enactment my Canon 1Dx II and 500mm F/4 L IS II lens to bully use.

The M40i was perfectly a JOY to thrust ! The thrust was balanced. Right magnitude of comfortableness and sportiness with nary fatigue aft 8 hr travel each way. I utilized the XP 95 substance and got an mean of 11 kmpl during the trip. The crushed clearance of 200mm was much than capable with the car making airy of monstrous velocity bumps and disfigured diversions. The car maintained triple digit speeds without breaking a sweat. On unfastened stretches enactment it successful athletics positive and the acceleration and dependable was conscionable terrific. What truly makes this peculiar is the M tuned B58. The exhaust enactment successful athletics mode with the pops and burbles was truthful addictive. Many cars tried to retired gait maine but conscionable couldn?t. While 1 can?t bask the apical velocity of specified cars successful India, it?s the motorboat and acceleration that is worthy each penny. And the deficiency of velocity chimes was specified a boon. Allowed maine to bask the Harman/Kardon strategy to the fullest.
Overall 1000km positive was a delightful thrust successful my Brooklyn Grey BMW X3 M40i.
A unique, constricted and fantastic offering from BMW.
Pure driving pleasure, each kilometre driven !
