Hi, New on here smile

I'm after some advice from some other BMW owners/drivers/lovers on their thoughts on the 2019 X3 2.0i. I literally 4000 miles per year so can't have a diesel but I'm concerned about the lack of power (as its quite a big car!!).... I've looked online and can't find any reviews of the engine just reviews for the M40i?! was wondering if anyone had one or has driven one? any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated!!

Cheers

It's a 180bhp turbo petrol.

Ok it's heavy and 4WD but it does 0-60 in 8 seconds so it can't be exactly slow.

I haven't driven one though so I'm interested.

Alternatively have a look at the Q5 equivalent which has a 250bhp 2.0.

Ive driven a G30 520i with the same engine (B48) and it's surprisingly good. Not fast as such but certainly pretty useful.

I had one as a loaner 2.0i with the auto only did a few miles in it, but it was more than enough and fine, the new X3 is a good car.
