New BMW X3


Not that you should ever believe everything you read but you'll struggle to find any journalist who liked the last BMW X3. Like the current X1 it actually was a blooper from BMW. This new BMW X3 needs to be a lot best.

Fortunately it largely is. This all-new permanent four-wheel-drive SUV is far more sorted immediately - two of the biggest criticisms of the last car were the interior quality and the ride. Now the interior doesn't awareness like it was made out of recycled crisp packets and the suspension actually absorbs bumps rather than transmitting them directly to your spine.
For the time being merely the 2.0-litre diesel will be available in the UK - an X3 30d and X3 35d will arrive next year - and with 181bhp and 280lb foot it's got just about enough power for most situations.
Overtaking can be tricky though - the X3 runs out of puff above 75mph so make sure those gaps are large enough. Equally it's still no real property Rover Freelander on the rough stuff. It'll cope with the pavement outside the school and comes with Hill Descent power as standard but Jeremy would probably get equally as stuck in this one as he did in the last.

Prices beginning from £39040 which is bang on rivals like the Audi Q5. When the last X3 appeared this tract was pretty new and rivals were rare. Now every manufacturer has an contribution. The last-gen auto would never have stood up to any sort of comparison. It very was that bad. fortuitously this one does. It's not a great BMW because it drives too much like every other soft-roader but it's good adequate
