X drive is a big advantage for me, solid BMW engineering too - and of course a decent size

Bonnet and front bumper is covered in significant stone chips that they have tried to paint over using a slightly different colour and damage to the interior door trim - over £1,000 to repair with BMW

It is a good looking car but the insurance bracket is too high.

BMW X3 (2018-2024) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| More fun to drive than most rivals | Sportier versions have a firm ride |
| A wide choice of efficient petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid engines | Not as able off road as a Land Rover |
| Spacious and comfortable cabin | No seven-seat option |
Quick Summary
The BMW X3 (2018-2024), known as the G01, is a compact premium SUV that blends impressive handling with stout performance, practicality and modern technology. This generation was launched in 2017 with a tweaked wheelbase making it slightly longer and more spacious than its predecessor. A range of versions are offered, including petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid models, with a high-performance BMW X3 M Competition derivative available. Inside, you'll find a spacious, comfortable and well-designed cabin with excellent build quality, an easy-to-understand infotainment system, and a generous 550-litre boot.
Where the BMW sets itself apart from rivals such as the Audi Q5 and Land Rover Discovery Sport is on the road. Even entry-level engines are flexible and powerful, and the X3's handling is far more sporting and engaging than competitors. It's refined and rides well, though sportier models can be less relaxing on broken surfaces. Running costs vary depending on the model; the xDrive20i and xDrive20d achieve up to 36.7mpg and 47.9mpg respectively, whilst the plug-in hybrid xDrive30e offers up to 148.7mpg and emissions as low as 44g/km CO2. The X3 M Competition is less efficient at 24.8mpg. BMW offers fixed-price servicing plans from £25 per month.
Best for: Buyers seeking a premium SUV with engaging handling, those wanting a choice of efficient powertrains, and drivers prioritising a spacious, comfortable cabin with modern technology.
Not ideal for: Those needing seven-seat capability, buyers requiring serious off-road ability, or those seeking the most comfortable ride in sportier trim levels.

| Volvo XC60 | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 37.5% | 4.5/5 |
| Audi Q5 | 4/5 | 4.3/5 | 38.8% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the X3 if: You're seeking a premium SUV with engaging handling, want a choice of efficient powertrains, or prioritise a spacious, comfortable cabin with modern technology.
Consider alternatives if: You need seven-seat capability, require serious off-road ability, or prefer the most comfortable ride in sportier trim levels.
Competitive Position: The BMW X3 (2018-2024) is a standout in the premium compact SUV segment, offering superior driving dynamics and a comprehensive range of efficient engines. Whilst the Volvo XC60 may offer greater comfort and the Audi Q5 better value, the X3's combination of engaging handling, spacious interior, and modern technology makes it an excellent choice for buyers prioritising an engaging drive. It's one of the more costly options, but the overall package justifies the premium for those seeking a premium SUV that's genuinely fun to drive.
