Recently bought a new X3, new to the X3 club

BimmerTom94 · 09-25-2020, 07:08 AM

Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a new BMW X3 at the start of September. I am enjoying the ride and how well the car grips the road. I traded in my F30 3 series, I am impressed how far forward BMWs have moved in recent years. I am also achieving 5mpg+ more in the new X3 compared to my diesel F30.

I am still getting used to gesture control and the BMW assistant struggles with my Scottish accent periodically.

For anyone interested my car is a M sport finished in Phytonic Blue.

I made a video on my X3 if anyone wishes to see my car indepth?

Great video - thanks for sharing.

Really pleased to see it has the "Hi BMW" feature on it. Wasn't sure that would be on the X3/4 so pleased that mine should have it when it arrives
