The X3 is more than the sum of its parts in my opinion .. It is just very competent and practical in so many areas
I have the standard suspension on 18s which removes the jiggly ride, although it can bounce on rough country roads.
On balance I'll accept that as a good compromise over msport suspension and 19's
I've been very fortunate to drive many many cars including ML's range rovers, land rovers, X5's and others over high mileages and the X3 is the best so far .. For me and my needs
I don't need a separate chassis Land Rover .. Or the need to tow huge weights or drive up mountains or through deep rivers
I do drive in inclement weather and do occasional light off road but prob nothing out of the ordinary
I do several long trips every year to family abroad
The sports seats are very comfortable
The tech is superb with pro nav etc
The adaptive zenons are pure witchcraft and almost make me wish for the darker nights ;(
Very satisfied so far
