Finally there’s Performance Control and M Sport suspension. Inside, there’s Individual Anthracite headlining, Sport seats, an M Sport leather steering wheel and Brushed Aluminium trim finishers. That little lot costs an additional £1500 over an SE.Īfter that comes the range-topping M Sport, which features the aero styling kit, Individual high-gloss Shadow line exterior trim and newly upgraded 19-inch light alloy wheels to replace the pre-LCI’s 18-inch versions. Inside, there’s exclusive xLine leather interior, Dark Copper trim, together with a Sport leather steering wheel. Then comes the xLine with gleaming metallic bumper inserts, Satin Aluminium side cladding within the air intakes, simulated underguards at the front and rear and exclusive 18-inch alloys.

The xLine fits in above the SE and below the M Sport to fill in the middle ground, although to slightly confuse things there is now also an SE Plus package that gains an uprated Harman Kardon stereo, Sun protection glass, Adaptive headlights, 18-inch alloys and High-Beam Assistant for a reasonable £2,850 over an SE. Prices start at a not-so-X5-like £30,995 for the basic sDrive18d SE and, joining the more detailed standard specification, a new trim level has also been added to the range. It seems the baby X3 is following in the footsteps of its big brother, the X5, and heading positively upmarket. That little bonus pack accompanies the alreadystandard fit Nevada leather interior, dual-zone air-con, cruise control, DAB radio, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, 17-inch alloys, front and rear PDC, Drive Performance Control, rain sensor and automatic headlights – creating a pretty wholesome package.
It now includes Business sat nav, heated front seats and an automatic tailgate. To start, the standard specification has been improved and extended to push the X3 firmly up a notch in its class. As we said, it’s subtle stuff, as we now expect from an LCI.Įlsewhere, though, there have been other more important changes. And let’s not forget the one centimetre overall length increase, too. Even more subtle is the change of location for the LED side repeaters. The kidney grilles and accompanying surrounds are a little longer and larger, the headlights now feature a new twin circular design and both the front and rear bumpers have developed a new set of contoured curves. So, as tradition dictates, BMW is celebrating the occasion in the best way it knows how: by treating the model to a face-lift, better known as a Life Cycle Impulse (LCI).Īs usual for this kind of freshen up, the exterior styling differences are small, subtle and localised. It may not look like it and it really doesn’t feel like it either, but the current F25 X3 is nearly four years old. The new face-lift 2016 BMW X3 is here but it’s not the looks we’re interested in, it’s the introduction of a new range of diesel engines that really caught our eye. Wheels: 18" x 8.Behind the Wheel: The LCI X3 is here but it’s the new diesel engines it’s fitted with we’re most interested in.
