My brother makes a habit of buying without a test drive. He's in an Audi A4 Avant that he never drove now (bought 3 years ago) and he's got a Ford S-Max Diesel 163PS on order to replace it and he's never been in an S-Max! His theory is all modern cars must be pretty good and he can't be bothered to drive them. He's not too bothered about handlling/performance etc, more fuel economy and features.
Your X3 sounds very similar to mine. I had to get pretty much the entry level 2.0d SE with very few extras due to company car lease limits, but I did get auto transmission, standard bluetooth and DAB with the Black Leather. Delivered on Tuesday this week and all good. Auto box is amazingly quick up through the gears which feels different to how I would drive a manual and the stop-start is pretty alarming until you get used to it. But it's smooth, quiet and classy.
It's a BMW, what could possibly be wrong with it!!!
