The BMW X3 literally drives into the curve, for an even greater sense of dynamic driving and excelling stability.

For me, the effect of this has been most apparent when really getting on it on the way out of a decent curve. It produces an interesting "locked on" feeling. The track is nicely controlled, the back end feels planted, and it feels like you have the option to deliver whatever power you want. Fun.
