BMW X3 2.0d, a smaller 4x4
Priced at £26,180, BMW X3 2.0d is an entry level car which is run on the same 150bhp 2.0-litre diesel found in the 1 series and 3 series but is rather heavy in comparison.
Competing in the prominent 4x4 category, its engine generates 330Nm of torque from 2,000rpm and can produce speeds up to 60mph from starting position in 10 seconds with the maximum acceleration limit being 123mph. For ones concerned about the environment, X3 2.0d emanates carbon dioxide at the pace of 191g/km.
Designed specifically to cater to the well-off teenagers in their 20’s and 30’s, 2.0d is available in a variety of colors ranging from silver grey to black sapphire.
Incorporating Hill Descent Control tyres for its wheels, 2.0d features a relatively small turning circle of 11.7 metres to be specifically used for making three point turns in narrow lanes.
The BMWs’ xDrive system combines with ESP stability control and DSC traction control to calculate the car’s yaw rate, steering angle and speed.
In addition, the Trailer Stability Control (TSC) keeps an eye on swinging effects which may be caused by towing an errant trailer and warns the stability control system accordingly.

Good to know somebody else besides me, likes the BMW X3
Heck the missus nagged the hell out of me saying this car is a waste of money - 26k quid. But hey, how can women appreciate the thrill of going from zero to 60mph in 10 seconds flat? Good car, I love driving it into the countryside, though the tires don't seem up to it. Then, I have an issue over its top speed - just around 125 mph. Not enough for a speed maniac like myself.

This car rocks
Hi everybody. Well, I the purchased the BMW X3 2.0d with my dad's hard earned money. And so was desperately hoping that it turns out to be a rokcing car. And it is very much is one. The black sapphire colour is just 2 good. Maximum speed limit is pretty cool at 120MPH. The tyres could have been better.And you might also feel taking turns are difficult at times. But overall, it has been a more than satisfactory ride for me.
