BMW X3 review

[Ling156]

Would anyone be able to give a review of the BMW X3 - such as performance, FC, road handling, interior components etc...

 

It would be much appreciated

 

Thanks!

The BMW X3...

Overrated. Under-performing. Overpriced.

 

There ya go. :)

 

X5's still a lot better. Can't wait for the new one.

really? thought that the X3 was quite ok...as in no negative reviews about it.

 

X3's much smaller than the X5 and techically should be 'easier' to drive? . how is it under performing?

 

is there any 'small' SUV that is 'ok'? or are there non at all?

[Odyssey02]

the X5 is one of the best SUV's to drive although its quite old.

[Spas]

wait slightly more than a year for the NEW X5 to come out.

 

Or u can get the Lexus RX instead. A good car, though a common sight.

[Ling156]

really? that good? how's the fuel consumption like? any other good things to share abt the car? X5 or X3?

[Ling156]

thanks...not in that big a rush so am just shopping around for info

 

was actually thinking of the X3 coz its a smaller version of the X5 so thought should be just as good...

 

yep, was quite hooked on the Lexus RX in the beginning but didn't get it in the end...

What's your price range and what are your needs, i.e for traveling point a to b, or that together with needing to carry loads like children and more than 4 people... ya catch my drift.

 

Or are u just dead-set on a "soft-roader" and won't settle for anything else?

 

And if price isn't a factor, well may i suggest you get a Land Rover.

[Luv_presea]

sorry just now forgot to add.. Mitsubishi pajero, suzuki grand vitara, toyota fortuna, toyota Prado.. haha.. all giants.. hmm. if u considering the RX300, why not get a toyota harrier instead?

[Spas]

I left out those cos i was taking into account her preference for X3. Haha.

[Jts156]

[Luv_presea]

One very simple question, you like SUV-wannabes or the real thing? If its the former then you're better off purchasing an RX300 or a Harrier. If its the latter then try a Toyota Landcruiser Amazon. Money better spent. I'm a beemer-fan but the X3 is just a shame to the blue-propellor. If you saw Clarkson's report on the X3 on Top Gear you'd agree with me.

 

Cheers.

XC90, if im not wrong, doesn't have off road ability..

 

if im nt wrong, from the recent, motoring tv prog on channelnews asia, there is a merc 4X4.

 

think its M-class.. with pretty good review. the VW did well too, landrover was good but the most expensive. while for the XC90, its good for accleration.

actually, i just need the car to go from point a to b and to ferry my kid.

but i prefer suvs cos they give me height and i feel 'safer' too.

price wise, am not looking at that now but it is a priority...

[Ling156]

yep, i am aso in love with that car. it has everything that i want...a seven seater SUV but the price is a little intimidating

[Odyssey02]

the land rover discovery is a full size SUV capable of everything. it has the best reviews on off roading and drives well too. furthermore, it provides space for 7 full size adults. much bigger then the XC90.
