BMW X3 (2004 - 2010) 3.0d M Sport 5d Auto Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Bought the car as a compromise between me & the wife, I wanted a BM she wanted an SUV & an X5 was too big for the drive.
I like to call the car Dr Jeckyl & Mr Hyde as it’s perfectly fine cruising at sensible speeds but when you wanna overtake a slow drive flex your right foot & it kicks down & takes off.
Fuel economy could be better, average around 26mpg around town & on a small 160 mile run gets to about 28mpg. M sport suspension & 19in rims mean it’s not the most comfortable ride in the world but I feel it’s better than some people seem to say online.
Seats are comfortable, boot is spacious enough for our stroller & shopping or suitcases when we’ve gone on holiday. We have 2 child seats in the rear so ideal for a family of 4, not sure how it will be in a few weeks when we become a family of 5.
Biggest issue with the car is the road tax, would recommend getting one in the lower tax bracket as £675 is madness.
