This X3 is built by BMW or outsourced like the old X3?
Top Gear has a review of it, and they say its crap. For the same amount of money, better buy a normal 5-series

Hi Paul, did you test out the X3 off road?? As a SUV, it would indeed be relevant to have reviews regarding its off road performance…

well, i always wonder why the previous model only get 192hp for a 2.5 inline 6…but now the new facelifted X3 quite impressive for me as it get 218hp for its new upgraded engine and which same as the one in 525i…bmw always be the first place in its engines!

Macho, but looks real dated, like a SsangYong Musso.

X5 rm500k , X3 rm 300k … erm X1 Rm100k ?? ….

man ,the radio really looks like something from the past. Even the 525i has better things inside.

Now that you mentioned it, it does share alot of looks and parts with the E46 and E39 interior wise.

Saw the reviews and test on Fifth Gear and they compared it with the Land Rover Freelander. Seems that the X3 had the edge but they claimed it to be pricey. End of the day it was the viewers choice.

Tilting wing mirrors have been on BMWs for quite some time, I once drove a 97 328 E46 with them. I’m sure other manufacturers have them too.

looks great…and its a bmw,bt fundementally its flawed with its very hard ride…almost everyone complains of the hard ride…funily enough the x5 is actually abit softer (according to reviews)…

“The left wing mirror automatically tilts downwards……..when doing parallel parking.”
i like this feature.simply ingenious.is this the first few cars to have this?

anyway,the diesel model would be more torquey and value-for-money.
good job Paul!

tilting of wing mirror automatically when parking? i could use a function like tat and save my not so expensive rims..my rims hv tendency to hit the side curb…parking 2 close..n i think the car would look b8r with body colour bumper..instead of black..
