Advantages: Badge, resale value, Image Disadvantages: Build quality, Not a real 4x4, Price
...CD player is the standard BMW one - nothing special here.
This car has so many sensors that I'd be worried that when the warranty is up its all going to fail : Central locking with electronic immobiliser, crash sensors, fuel tank filler flap integrated into the central locking, seat sensors, brake sensors, ...
The ride : Not bad. Fairly nimble but don't expect any rapid velocity, if you want that look at a proper car and not a 4x4. Because this ... ...Then you get to the BMW options! This is where they make the serious money. The X3 being a soft-offroader with the BMW badge attracts all the fashion options.

Quick review of BMW X3 2.0d
A very underrated Sports Activity Vehicle. Mine is the xDrive 20d 2008 model with the 177hp engine. Smooth, powerful (for size) and economic after the petrol 5 series I have been driving.
Disregard the old road tests (2004/2005) especially that of Top Gear, the latest model is not the same car. Finish is excellent and easily compares with my previous 5 series Touring.
Early days but highly recommended so far. ...

Advantages: The Badge, Resale Value, Disadvantages: Diesel engine is a little coarse
...to think about it, the BMW X3 diesel hasn't alot going for it.
The interior for a start is cheap. The quality of the plastics and the trim do not suggest to me that I have just spent €60,000 (bought in Ireland) on a car. The cabin is tiny, the leg room reminded me of a Ryanair/Easyjet flight, the boot (for what it is meant to be) is tiny. On the upside, the seats are very supportive, especially on long journeys, the stereo is superb and the overall ... ...summerise, if you have (or can get your hands on) €60,000, I suggest you don't consider buying this car and either (1) if you have badge issues, get a regular BMW or Mercedes or AUDI estate, or (2) save your money and get something like a Passat or an Octavia. ...
