Read the Honest John Review

  • BMW X3 (2010 - 2018)
    Handling is impressive for an SUV, large boot capacity and lots of rear-seat space, top engine choices deliver serious performance.
  • BMW X3 (2004 - 2010)
    Strong BMW image. Reasonable roadholding for a 4x4. Plenty of safety kit and electronic driver aids.
