    Re: BMW X3 (F25) - official

    Yesterday during a trip to Stuttgart I've seen my first new X3 in the wild. The car was dark silver metallic. Well, I have to say I wasn't very impressed by the car. Though it was brand new and shiny, it looked somehow wrong. Perhaps it was because of the colour, but the new design with its mixture of curved lines on the one and edges on the other hand just didn't do it for me.

    If I had to choose a car like this I would definitely go with a Q5.

    I don't understand WHY bmw can't get this car right

    The first one was probably one of the ugliest cars ever.

    Re: BMW X3 (F25) - official

    I saw 3 new X3 last Saturday for the first time. White , black and silver.

    The car looked normal, neither very pretty nor ugly. If the other X models attract many buyers I cannot see why the new X3 will not be at least as successful.

    Next year new 4C turbo petrol engines will be introduced with up to 240PS, so affordable performance will be made available.

    Next year I plan to consider a X3 with one of the new engines and compare its value to the Q5.

    I tried to like new X3 because it would be nice daily car for every condition (snow, rain...). It looks much better than its predecessor (which wasn't hard to achieve), but I still prefer Q5's design. Also price difference between X3 and X5 is too small IMO.

    You cannot get a small engine in the X5. This counts if fuel economy is important or in markets with high taxes according to engine size. emissions etc.
