The X3 actally outhandles the 3 series coupe/sedan with .88g on the skidpad. Tied with the M3 comp package, and edges the M5's .87 g..I posted the results on this board somewhere. Slalom numbers, I will have to look up. Acceleration mid 7's for the x3 but feels hell a quick compared to a LEXUS IS250 I testdrove. The 3 series wagon has smaller interior space compared to the x3, along with lower ground clearance. Can't drive over those icebergs people throw in the street in NYC

And both of you never owned or driven one, so how can your truly know how it drives handles etc.?? I own the vehicle and drive the vehicle Drive the cars instead of going by someone elses opinion. Heck when the 2nd gen GS came out in 98, those same magazines hailed the GS as quite a handler Were they right?? You know what they say about funneled information...

I wonder why such a vehicle would be rated so high in the very magazine being mentioned in this thread if it is soooo horrible? Again, have you driven the vehicle?

The X3 is the only BMW I have driven that drives like a Chevy. It is a truck for Christs sake. Yes a good handling truck. But as good a coupe/sedan.

Wow, those people with M3's and 3 series on the track must be idiots. I guess they don't read R&T and consequently have no idea their car is not a good as a truck on the track.
But yeah, you can believe a truck will outhandle a car just because some number you read in a magazine says so.
