Low CO2 of 2.0 diesel thanks to start-stop system. Bigger and much better than previous X3. Good quality cabin. Comfortable ride. 6 cylinder engine option from mid 2011.

Stop start does not work below three degrees centigrade. Originally best in class meant a long waiting list. Main rival: Audi Q5.

Introduction

Latest Update 23-2-2011: Gaps in the £2,500 panoramic 'Professional' satnav system's knowledge of the locations of 7 digit postcodes.

Introduction:

The new BMW X3 range includes the lowest-emission four-wheel drive model in the sector and is the first to have start-stop with an automatic gearbox.

As well as sharper looks it offers better agility than the E83, an upgraded cabin plus new technology.
