MotorWeek | Road Test: 2015 BMW X3d

We’ll see what a turbo-diesel does for the BMW X3.

Bought this exact x3 diesel used couple of years ago. So far so good. Just been changing the oil every 7k miles and have had no issues with it so far. Love the diesel 4 cylinder in this. Plenty of pick up and go ( especially in sport mode) and one of the best MPG's of any SUV around. DO NOT go by BMW's recommended oil change intervals. Those are way too generous. That is if you want your timing chain not to implode.

Can't compete with Audi Q5 TDI. Q5 TDi has a V6. More HP and torque.

Transmission is 6, not 8 gear for the diesel.

The Infiniti QX-70 would destroy this on the track and be right up there with the Cayenne. In some tests, it beats the Cayenne.
