So glad she's gone back to a more natural presenting style. I felt in other reviews she sounded like she was mimicking the presenting style of Jeremy Clarkson and it was... odd. Just be you, so much better. Great review :)

That's my car. In the US, I have the S30i 2.0L, and I love it. I've been with the brand for twenty-five years and am doing well. Great video. The lumbar support is a must. It's so comfortable!

My folks were considering moving from their GLC into an X3. Thanks for the review! Looking gorgeous as usual!

No nonsense revue, honest and thorough all delivered professionally and with class, others could learn lessons from this review.

As a M40i owner who opted for the spare wheel, you should know this raised the boot floor by a couple of inches, making the whole boot less useful.

Brilliant review Rebecca - you sound much more relaxed, it’s a better presenting style 👍👍

[VinayKumar-chnb]

I drove this car and it's outstanding in terms of comfort, breaks, and power.

Excellent review just a touch of Nigella Lawson type flirting creeping in.. but whats not to like about that ? :-))

[mdeberky]

Your presence is so smooth ... I like it

[gkelly]

Excellent concise review. Now whatcar, whatbank to rob 🤔

[Why_vern]

Love the new hair Rebecca. Great review 😊

[CarsofGlasgow]

Great video but that is a 2018 model not a 2020.
You can see at 3:12 the older style infotainment display :/ I just bought a 2020 X3 and it has a heads up display and a different screen.

[swanblake]

Are doors included or are those options as well?

[MrVladex]

Pocket bombshell :) this chanel would be dead without Rebecca :)

[adnanalich.]

Thia trim has leather dashboard, which trim is this. As i know even in 2021 M sport, its dash is an ordinary material

[timr]

Listening to Rebecca is just so soothing

[SnowHarp]

I'm curious, and this only a small point but my 2019 BMW X3 has the model insignia along the lower edge of the tailgate - have they now moved back up to the original position ? or is this actually a 2018 model ?

Why does depreciation matter? Almost all will be sold on contract plans... (86% in 2016)
Any why do you say it will depreciate more than the Audi? A 2015 model of either car is around the same figure.

[srirangaswamy]

Simple and clear. Thanks for the review. This is one my considerations for 2018...

[avranwani]

Nice review....you need to add on one thing and that is the music system and quality of the sound . Even you can show how to control your music system while driving. Tip for you as I like your vedios.
