No Nav? Or is it standard now?
I'd have been tempted to drop an option or two and get the 3.0d- Auto is standard, along with metallic paint (unless offer has changed). I've got the pre-lci 3.0d. Great engine- loads of power, but excellent MPG when you want it. Last edited by philtrick123; 04-07-2014 at 04:05 PM.. |

Was tempted by the 3.0D, but stuck with 2.0D in the end!
Its plenty fast enough for me, and has a new aluminium engine - faster, more economical and better emmissions. Business Sat Nav is std now |

30D and 35D performance figures are better too without changes in power or torque. Maybe they changed the auto or engine maps or they are more aggressive with the figures. I'd love to know the reason.

I think you are right - its not a brand new engine - but a retuned one
Saw this from an early review on line: Making its debut in the new X3 is a revised engine for the xDrive20d model. The 2.0 turbodiesel engine gets a new tune, now putting out 190 hp from the previous 184 hp. Peak torque is 400 Nm, up from 380 Nm. Injection pressure is 2,000 bar. The increased power cuts the 100 km/h spring by 0.4 seconds – it’s now 8.1 seconds. Either way its an improvment. |
