Everyone knows how good BMWs are. Dubbed ‘the ultimate driving machines’, there’s certainly a lot of substance to back up this claim.
In short, BMW cars are a stunning mix of design and engineering.
With the new X3 hot off the press, it’s obvious everyone wants a piece of the SUV action!

The BMW X3 is a compact crossover SUV. This essentially means it looks like a 4×4 but has the characteristics of a car. Some people have argued it is simply a taller version of the 3 series, but it’s actually so much more. First released on 2004, the X3 is now in its second generation and has proved hugely popular. While it may balk at driving on anything but tarmac, and most SUVs are similar, the X3 has a great ride quality and is really a lot of fun after BMW affected numerous upgrades following a real slating by the automotive press.

Available with a range of engines including the highly sought after 3.0 litre petrol, the X3 will certainly get you to your destination in style. It can be equipped with a manual or automatic gearbox, the former of which is rather clunky, but overall it is a pleasure to drive and handles exceptionally well. If you want to see a car cry however, show the X3 some dirt. Want to off road? Get another car.

You may think that buying a brand new BMW X3 will be expensive, and you’d be right. An entry level model can be more than most other fully loaded SUVs, for example a Volvo XC60. Having said that, if you buy a used BMW, there are savings galore to be found. If you look online especially, there are some biblical deals, with up to a 15% reduction on retail price straight away. For money like that, the X3 suddenly becomes affordable!

The X3 is a great car. It looks stunning and handles well on the road, just don’t expect it to move an inch on the rough stuff. Buy a used BMW X3 and see some phenomenal savings, especially online. You’ll have an ultimate driving machine all to yourself in no time!
