2012 BMW X3 REVIEW
2012 BMW X3 REVIEW - BMW X3 2012 is latest cars and first drive. The BMW designers and engineers have clearly taken some of the criticism to heart.BMW might claim to have invented the Sports Activity segment, but their competitors have caught up with some pretty decent cars – like the Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, and Land Rover Freelander. Even Koreans Hyundai and Kia, offering smaller, cheaper 4x2 options such as the iX35 and Sportage, are stealing market share.
The 2012 BMW X3 ranks 3 out of 8 Luxury Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 18 published reviews and test drives of the BMW X3, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The 2012 BMW X3 is a good option for shoppers looking for a sport-tuned luxury SUV, but it does have its faults. Most reviewer complaints are performance-related. If you’re looking for a sporty luxury crossover, the 2012 BMW X3 is a good choice, but reviewers think its powertrain needs a few improvements.
BMW managed to sell 615 000 of these ugly ducklings. Shows you how much we know. But I can understand why it sold so well. During 2007 I drove more than 20 000km in a 3.0si. The car was built like solid brick outhouse (it even looked like one) and it went like a rocket. So what if it was thirsty, expensive and the ride as hard as Margaret Thatcher? It was a sports car on stilts and I loved driving it.
