Used 2014 BMW X3 xDrive20d M Sport 5dr Step Auto

PROS Decent handling both on and off-road Strong resale values Spacious interior Plenty of standard safety kit Overview BMW has built a reputation for building cars that are engaging to drive and that even extends to its off-road models. However, the first-generation X3 was the exception to that rule: it wasn't much fun on the road and it wasn't much cop off it. On the tarmac the ride was lumpy due to the overly stiff suspension and you couldn't guarantee that it would be able to negotiate muddy slopes and rutted terrain like a Land Rover Freelander. However, BMW has improved the second generation – the suspension has been reworked to be a little more forgiving but thankfully the car still corners well. On the slippery stuff, it also acquitted itself well: we tested the car in snowy conditions and it proved up to the task. Because of restricted numbers residuals are now on a par with the rival Audi Q5 and emissions have been lowered making the X3 a much better proposition. 12V socket in centre console and luggage area, 3 rear 3 point seatbelts, 4 lashing points to secure luggage, ABS/EBD, Ambient lighting, Anthracite headlining, Anthracite Velour floor mats, Auto dimming rear view mirror, Automatic Stability Control (ASC), Auxiliary socket for external MP3 player, BMW professional radio/CD/MP3, Body coloured bumpers, Body coloured door handles, Body coloured electric adjust heated aspherical door mirrors, Centre console storage tray, Child locks on rear doors, Chrome exhaust tailpipe, Chrome kidney grille with black verticle slats, Cornering brake control (CBC), Crash Sensor - activates hazard/interior lighting + unlocks doors, Cruise control with brake assist, Cupholders in centre console, DAB Digital radio, Diesel particulate filter, Driver/front passenger airbag, Driver/front passenger side airbags, Driver/passenger sunvisors with ticket holders + illuminated vanity mirrors, DSC - Dynamic Stability Control, Dual zone automatic air conditioning, Dynamic brake
