BMW X3 review - pictures

With no shortage of tech, the X3’s interior has been updated to provide a much more contemporary feel.

Handling is considerably better than in the X3’s predecessor, with the M40i offering a particularly entertaining steer.

Inside, the X3 still holds the core DNA of a BMW. You’ll find analogue dials and a traditional BMW-style instrument display but also the latest iDrive technology.

The X3 is capable off-road, with all models featuring the xDrive 4x4 system.

The longer wheelbase provides ample room for 5 passengers, or an impressive 1,550 litres of boot space with the seats folded down.

The X3’s 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating is backed up by a host of safety tech.
