BMW X3 For Sale

BMW has been manufacturing the X3 for over twenty years, with production starting in 2003. Based on the 3 Series platform, the X3 holds an important place in BMW’s lineup as their premium medium-sized SUV—a highly popular category in today’s market.

If you want an everyday, practical car within the incredibly popular SUV market, it’s hard to think of a more competent car. Smooth, quiet and responsive, the X3 offers everything a person could wish for in an SUV. The BMW X3 benefits from a range of models, with the most capable being the top spec X3 M. Offering spacious packaging and an engaging drive, the X3 remains a strong contender in its class, even against the likes of the Porsche Macan, Jaguar F-Pace and Range Rover Velar. All versions of the X3 come with xDrive all-wheel drive as standard as well, adding to the car’s usability.

The interior doesn’t disappoint BMW’s reputation, and you sit in a premium cabin with a commanding view of the road typical of an SUV. The infotainment screen in the newest model stretches across the dashboard from the driver to the middle of the cabin and sits on top of a clutter-free dashboard design. The car includes lots of tech that is expected in today’s market, such as Apple CarPlay as standard on all models with the iDrive 7 or newer operating system (2020 or later), which increases everyday usability. Some of the most desirable options include a Harman/Kardon Surround Sound Audio System and the M Sport Pro Pack.

Running costs are varied, depending on model and year. The latest X3 M manages a combined WLTP 39.2- 40.4 mpg thanks to its hybrid system. CO2 emissions are better than ever, as benefits the current climate, at 163-158 g/km combined WLTP. BMW servicing can be expensive, though the car should prove reliable overall. As with any car, regular maintenance will help keep this to a minimum.
