Paraphrased some key points from the article
What Car? said "X3 is a 4x4 you can be proud to drive"
and "The BMW comprehensively beats the opposition". Exceptionally low running costs, posh spacious cabin, first rate refinement all widen the margin of its victory
It scored top on best rear space, biggest boot space, quietest noise at motorway cruising speeds, best auto transmission, quality of dash, fastest 0-60.
It got marked down on fiddly manual seat adjustment (I have electric which is hopefully not as fiddly
)
