BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (2009) CAR review

BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

BMW doesn't do things by halves. This is their first full hybrid model, the ActiveHybrid X6, and it's the most powerful hybrid in the world. It combines a 407bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a fiendishly complicated gearbox that contains two electric motors, one optimised for low-speed running, one to boost power at higher speeds.  The X6 ActiveHybrid's electric motors ...

BMW X1 xDrive20d (2009) CAR review

The new BMW X1 is the German car giant’s fourth addition to its 4x4 range, so although the original X5 might have been beaten to market by Mercedes’ M-class, since then the company has always been one SUV step ahead of its homeland rivals. The X3 was launched in 2004, but Mercedes and Audi have only recently launched the GLK ...

BMW X6 M (2009) new CAR review

BMW X6 M (2009) new CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

BMW has done what it said it would never do and made M versions of its SUVs – the X5 M and the X6 M. And we’ve just driven the more expensive – and less practical – of the two, the £77,425 X6 M. So what are the stats then? The X6 M has a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 with a ...

BMW X6 XDrive 35i (2008) CAR review

BMW X6 XDrive 35i (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Announcing the launch of the world’s first sports activity coupe is rather like announcing the world’s first six-decker sponge cake – probably quite tasty, but hardly a Jaffa cake moment, and way too tall to enjoy without getting yourself in a right mess. So you don't think much of the BMW X6? I wouldn’t say expectations of the X6 are ...

BMW X3 2.0d (2008) CAR review

BMW X3 2.0d (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Previously untouchable in the premium compact SUV segment, the BMW X3 now finds itself with some impressive competition. Audi has the Q5 and coming over the hill, looking like a monster, is Mercedes’ GLK. Both are based on newer platforms than the X3 and offer serious, credible alternatives. Can BMW’s baby premium 4x4 still match up? Isn’t the BMW X3 starting ...

BMW X6 XDrive 35d (2008) CAR review

BMW X6 XDrive 35d (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

We’ve heard of niches, but come on – an SUV coupe? Sounds a bit roast beef with ice cream to us. But from June 2008, that’s what BMW has in store. The X6 is the latest addition to the maker’s SUV portfolio of X3 and X5, which is already the best-selling premium line-up in Europe. The X5 3.0d is, surprisingly ...

BMW X5 3.0d (2006) CAR review

BMW X5 3.0d (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Just what the world needs, another huge off-roader. That’s it, jump on the SUV-hate bandwagon. But before you do you might want to know that X5 II is safer, more efficient and even better to drive. Why? Because BMW has finally called time on its strut suspension, replaced it with a set of double wishbones which provide better-camber-control and reduce ...

BMW X3 3.0sd (2006) CAR review

I'm stumped - what's new? You're not the only one - apparently this is the revised BMW X3. Although if you can spot all the differences between the pre- and post-facelift cars you really should get out more or consider a job at BMW. According to just such people the front lights are new - incorporating different 'halo' bulbs behind ...
