Oh, look... carmagazine is much more positive about this car.

I think the bottom line is that all of these SUVs are polarising. Some of these UK mags are really hating on the X3M whilst others are loving it, and it's the same story for the Merc and Alfa too. One reviewer has the Stelvio as the best SUV ever and another has it as 3 stars. EVO would have you believe the X3M is a dog, Car Magazine would have you believe it's a true drivers car with terrific handling. It's a very odd situation.

CAR have even reviewed it on UK roads.

If there can be such a thing as a true driver’s SUV, this is surely it, and those who get behind the wheel will find it delivers an experience that’s largely free from compromise – albeit one that doesn’t entertain in quite the same way as the competition.

Handling is as precise as you’d expect from a car wearing an M badge, with the kind of grip and body control that lets you drive with real conviction. Steering feels direct at all speeds, and while not as engaging on the limit as the rear-biased Stelvio, it delivers a feeling of agility unexpected of a machine this size and weight.
