With dimensional swelling in almost each bearing, a large portion remarkably 3.4 inches of extra length, the X3 has a more excellent presence on the road, an attribute in addition made by a late outer surface plan emphasizing sharply wrinkled sheetmetal. It's roomier inside, with a secondary lounge this is now sufferable for grown-ups, and a 40/20/40 part rear seat can now be optioned in situation of the standard 60/40 part. The lodge is much nicer than heretofore, even though it is deprived of its own temperament, nearly mirroring the nonexclusive layout and plan of the X5 SUV and 5-series sedan. An optional 8.8-inch iDrive screen sat large on our test vehicle's focus stack, and BMW's now-pervasive electronic-joystick shifter has been received.
