obviously it lost the test despite the twin turbo diesel
It lost because of space (normal since the X3 is smaller) and warranty, not because of its engine (multiple winner at the International engine of the year awards in 2005 and 2006).
The X5 will rectife that (lack of space).
Also the twin turbo also delivers beside performance better fuel economy and lower emissions.

I do, specially in a heavy SUV

X3/ML
0-100 km/h 6.6 s 8.9 s
80-120 km/h 4.3 s 6.7 s

The engine in ML will just make me sleepy. Yamn!

Re: Autobild: ML320 CDI vs. (fl) X3 3.0sd

well get a ML420 CDI then..or wait for the blutech..
or if you want to go nutts get the ML 63 might be one of the fastest suv´s ever..
There is no way a person can complain about engines when it comes to MB..they have something for everyone..
so you all need to find a better excuse than the engine for not choosing the ML

ohh and by the way..please dont tell me you like the design of the X3 more

Re: Autobild: ML320 CDI vs. (fl) X3 3.0sd

These two cars cannot be compared at all, imo... But since they are compared here and since we're talking about engines here, then Artist, sorry, but the engine in ML is a chamomile comared to TT in BMW. Choose whatever you want from this comapro, but as far as the engine is concerned, you cannot do anything about it; the one in BMW rocks and the one in MB sucks.... How about that?

Re: Autobild: ML320 CDI vs. (fl) X3 3.0sd

Duh tycoon.. obviously the engine in the bimmer is alot sharper..no doubt..

PS
If they cost similar the X3 is super duper over priced..its a small ugly vehicle with a gr8 engine..and thats that..

Re: Autobild: ML320 CDI vs. (fl) X3 3.0sd

Ugly vehicle - yes, absolutely agree! But to say that only the engine is good thing about it, c'mon... It can be ugly, but it sells like cakes and as an SUV has on-road capabilities that many non-suv cars don't have...

I hope noone gets offended, but if the design is the priority to you when going for a car then... Oh well, you know... I think that many of you already know that i completely disagree when someone say design is what sells the car; BMW is a pure example that it's not like that.
