X3 Buying Advice

Hi all,

I'm based in Surrey in the UK and am starting to consider a larger car due to family commitments.

We currently have an 14 plate M135i which i love and thought we'd keep longer but don't think we will be able to.

As such looking at an X3, although i literally started looking yesterday and have no idea about them. A bit of performance would be nice, especially coming from the M135i, so was looking at the 3l diesel engine.

Would anyone be able to comment on whether the below car is a decent deal? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...01903165942569

Any problems or must haves I should look out for?

Thanks,
Pete

Good price but I would give it a miss as it doesn't have xenons just the tacky halogen headlamps, also small infotainment screen - the pro media is much better. Never had the 3L but it probably goes like stink - i've only ever had the 2L which is still lively (the 3L commands a £6K premium over the 2L when bought new so could never justify the expense)

Yes I have both of those options in my M135, would really miss the pro nav I think.

Not sure I'm too fussed about having a 3L engine, definitely some advantages to the 2L. I imagine there are some decent maps available for it too.
