BMW X3 shown here is the second generation of the model, with facelift (starting 2014). The model has greater refinement when compared to previous generation, a far better customisation programme and hugely improved ride quality and dynamics. Here we have a popular xDrive20d version – an average engine from whole lineup – with top interior equipment, including state of the art harman / kardon audio system. The latest product improvement of BMW X3 (operated in 2016) adds new infotainment system with graphics similar to BMW 7 Series.
