That one hell of an economical SUV. BMW would impossibly sell more than one in the SUV. The 1.8L Diesel badge on the back on the SUV is too much for the American's to bare. People interested in this car are better of buying a small MPV.

That's some great gas mileage for a small diesel SUV.

I'm not liking the front fascia, way too busy and unnecessary looking lines. The specs are impressing though, wish they'd bring it here.

You can't argue with BMW's ability when it comes to making premium accessible to everyone...

SUV's should be all diesels, the character suits them better than high performance petrol engines.

I know not many of you like X3 and I agree with you. It’s maybe the ugliest BMW in production and definitely it’s about the time to get replacement but still it’s a good and reliable car and it’s BMW. Car is very good in every aspect; maybe not nicest but in its class is one of the best and most reliable. Friend of mine owes one and hi’s very satisfied and happy to drive it. Now with my present garage I ‘m thinking to by one as third car for winter use and family trips, pick nicks during a summer. Would be very nice if I can get one with diesel engine, but I know it’s going to be impossible.

The solution is simple: get a Mercedes ML Bluetec!

Just kidding.


Why not move over to Germany? You can drive a diesel X3 here and also enjoy your BMW M5 without having cops pulling you over for "speeding".

It's not impossible, not right now but my plans to move back to Europe are seriously considered.
