X3 2.0 Auto Sport Diesel

Reliable, Comfortable and Safe

Have now had car for 12months and covered 15,000miles. Came with 19inch Pirelli run flats which I find a little hard for ride compared with 19inch Continentals. May be I am too fussy. Had cold weather 18inch wheels and tyres (Pirelli Sotto Zero run flats) fitted last November and car handles superbly on unsalted iced roads. Ride is softer because of tyre composition. Economy is around 38-40mpg using economy setting for gearbox and stop/start. On long motorway runs I have achieved 44mpg...I am measuring mileage driven against fuel in tank. I don't used on board computer for this.

To date no mechanical or electrical issues. Adaptive headlamps are amazing safety feature, along with professional sat for weather alerts on planned journeys. The driving position is high with a wider and longer view. I can anticipate much earlier because I can see much f***her ahead.

The cold weather pack is great especially for rear seat passengers who have heated seats.

Another feature is the Head Up Display which took me sometime to get use to and again is a great safety feature because you don't have to look at the speedo anymore...it is displayed on the windscreen.

Would I change anything on it? Yes I would like a DAB radio but it was too expensive to buy.

In summary I find this car, reliable, comfortable and feel safe in it.
