X3’s new 2.0-litre four-pot diesel has its merits, but bigger six-pot remains the more appealing choice This is the latest version of BMW’s popular X3, benefiting here from a host of minor cosmetic updates and a new 188bhp TwinPower Turbo 2.0-litre diesel engine.We tested the lightly revised SUV four-wheel-drive xDrive form and M Sport trim, with the optional automatic gearbox and paddle shifts.On paper, the four-cylinder diesel appears to be a sound option. It produces 188bhp and 295lb ft, propelling the X3 from 0-62mph in a sensible 8.1sec.A claimed average of 54.3mpg is good for a car in this class and CO2 emissions of 138g/km mean you’ll pay road tax of £130 a year.
