The brand-new 2011 BMW X3 has just been reviewed by Fifth Gear Web TV and the video has been posted on the YouTube channel. It seems the new car is much improved over the superseded model, offering a refined cabin, more comfortable ride quality and an excellent diesel engine option.

The 2011 BMW X3 is will be launched in Australia this year, and although specifications will be slightly different from the UK, the X3 proves to be quite a good package. Loaded with standard features such as satellite navigation, all-wheel drive, cruise control and dual-zone climate control, the review concludes that the BMW X3 is a better overall package than its closest rival; the Audi Q5.

Take a look at the full review below for more details.

Jeep Grand Cherokee (or similar) thanks.

BMW can keep their ‘made for a certain demographic baby 4×4′ aka: Sucker for the BMW badge. As proven by people that bought the previous lame model.

I’d go with the Jeep with Quadra Drive too

It has a world class diesel and very attractive interior. As long as the seats are as good as a BMW!

Good to see Channel 5 in the UK use their brains and not restrict videos (regardless of whether they’re on their own website or YT) to UK viewers only. Unlike the dumbos at the BBC ala TopGear.
X3 30d M Sport

Try the 30d M Sport version. I just got one & love it. Its way better than my old X5 3.0i that I loved.
