Why we love the BMW X3
Just as at home on the daily commute as it is off the beaten track, it's no surprise that the X3 is considered one of BMW's most popular models.
A far cry from the rugged 4X4, the sleek exterior and modern detailing create a commanding presence that is hard to shake. But don't let its sophisticated style fool you. With a range of powerful engine options, the X3 packs a punch.
And that''s only part of the appeal.
Although not a dedicated off-road vehicle, the model's high ground clearance and all-wheel drive system mean it can handle a variety of conditions - from slippery surfaces to gravel roads. This allows you to effortlessly transition from the school run to jaunts in the countryside.
However, if you need a car that is designed for tougher terrain, the BMW X5 might be more up your street.
Impressive towing power
As long as it's been equipped with a 2-inch receiver, the X3 has a towing capacity of up to 4400 pounds. Impressive, considering its relatively small size.
For context, this will allow you to comfortably take a small to medium-sized trailer out on the road. Perfect for those weekend camping trips or even when moving house.
Well-designed interior
With enough legroom to go around and adjustable seating to ensure you aren't confined at the wheel, the model's interior is the picture of comfort. There is also plenty of space for child safety seats, giving parents complete peace of mind.
The model's innovative storage solutions make for a clutter-free interior, so you can pack the essentials plus those all-important road trip snacks without using up valuable space.

Is the BMW X3 fuel efficient?
With climate change and the cost of living to think about, fuel economy is becoming an increasingly important factor when buying a car.
In general, premium SUVs aren't going to be the cheapest cars to run. However, if you have your heart set on this type of vehicle, we would recommend opting for something that offers good fuel efficiency - like the X3.
Generally speaking, the petrol engine will give you a fuel economy of 26-40 mpg while the diesel engine has an average of 44-52 mpg. If you're ready to move over to a hybrid model, this version of the X3 allows you to travel for up to 29 miles on battery power alone.
But how do you know which BMW engine type is which?
The world of engines can be tricky to get your head around, especially for first-time buyers. But if you follow this simple formula, you can't go wrong!
The engine type will typically be indicated by a two-digit number, followed by an 'i' for petrol or a 'd' for diesel. If you''re after a powerful engine, just look for a higher number.
Oh, and to make things even more straightforward, you can always filter our listings by fuel. Just use the handy search bar when browsing.
Is the BMW X3 the best choice in the premium lineup?
Although this decision will ultimately depend on your individual needs and preferences, the X3 stands tall amongst its competitors. It features all of BMW's thrilling dynamics and effortless style, but with the reliability needed for daily driving.
If you looking for a car that can comfortably fit the whole family, the X3 should absolutely be on your shortlist.
How does it compare to other BMW models?
Basically the SUV equivalent of the BMW 3 Series, the X3 features similar design elements and is just as performance-focused. The main differences are its elevated driving position, higher price point, and mild off-road capability.
A size up from the compact BMW X1 and positioned below the BMW X7, the X3 holds its own. It provides the nimbleness of a smaller SUV but the space and versatility found with the larger models.
If you're in the market for a luxury SUV but still unsure which one is best, we would recommend looking at our full BMW range before settling on a specific model.
The SUV body types will have an 'X' at the beginning of their name.
What about other SUVs?
A close competitor in terms of size, popularity, and tech features, the Audi Q5 is a great car. The price point is similar also.
While there's not much in it, you may be more drawn to the Q5 if you prefer that signature Audi look and feel. It’s a true all-rounder, with an upmarket quality, plenty of boot space, and flexible seating options.
In terms of the overall driving experience, we are more inclined to lean towards the BMW X3.
