BMW X3 2.0d M Auto

from £288.20 (+ VAT) per month

Since the X3’s launch in 2003, BMW has sold more than 1.5 million units worldwide, a success story it will no doubt be eager to continue with the version that’ll take the model into its third decade on sale.

The car’s increase in overall length – 51mm over the outgoing model – creates more space in the back than ever before and aesthetically the X3 looks even more athletic. There’s no drastic departure from the design language of the second-gen model, but the mild redesign helps give the soft-roader a new lease of life and brings it closer in line with BMW’s other models.
