Thoughts on X3? Plan on test driving one for Mrs. Piob this weekend or next. She says she wants something smaller than the GLE (former ML class) this time around.

I assume it will be the inline-6 as you hate 4 bangers thus meaning you won't check out the GLC?

New X3 looks nice enough. The X4 is a looker, too.


I've only looked at pics of the X4 but we've driven an X6. The X4 appears to have the same problem which would be near zero vision out the rearview window.

We've both had them for service loaners and are pretty meh about them. This generation is superior to prior but still.

The X4 looks like a mini X6, which is a good thing, as im one of the very few who likes the X6's aesthetic.

In b4 Benzbaire becomes Bimmerbaire

The new X6 looks great, IMO.

How does naming convention for BMW work on their SUVs? Just size? (because obviously the x4 isnt a two door version of the x3, like they do for the m3/m4)

I'm not Foo. The X6 and X4 (if it follows the X6) is fatally flawed to me as the rear view window might as well not exist.

Well I know what you're saying you like for her is a smaller SUV, but we all know the best design is a sports coupe, so you should probably go with the 911 or maybe the Vanquish.
