VIDEOS: 2011 BMW X3 In Action For The First Time

The only time an X3 will go off-road, unless somebody backs over the landscaping.

As a previous owner of a 2007 X3, looking at the new X3 it seems to be the bastard love child of the Q5 and the GLK! I have moved on to a 2011 328i xdrive touring (with sport package) and I have to say that although the X3 was a great SUV (SAV?), the 3 series is head and shoulders above it in terms of handling, ride comfort, quietness and build quality. I will certainly drive the 2011 X3 when it arrives a my dealership, but I doubt if I will move back to a heavy, thirsty, poor handling SAV again.

Pretty nice. I like how multi-tone interiors with contrasting stitching is no longer limited to the top-end variant of a flagship, luxury sedan.

Exactly how well does the engine start/stop work? How does the vehicle deal with throttle delay? Hybrids are easy to understand, but I don't get how conventional vehicles work. I assume there is an on/off switch.

The video demo reminds me of the Disney Autopia cars stalling and then immediately restarting with the push of the pedal.

nvm Didn't see the button next to the Engine Start button. Still, how much throttle delay is there with the Start/Stop Function on?

I really like it, is true I would like to see how the start and stop funtion works and how fast the engine start on.

Kia Amante or Hated need to capture people because is not enough with the copy and paste method of all brands and models.
BMW just think , create,test and generate models and design and of course improve quality. Now they also use the LED because before their are some Europe law regulations about that.
