About the BMW X3 G01
The G01-generation BMW X3 represented a significant step forward for the model, moving to the modular CLAR platform shared with the 5 Series. This transition resulted in a lighter, stiffer chassis that improved both ride comfort and handling precision compared to its F25 predecessor. The xDrive20d M Sport was the volume seller in the UK, pairing the punchy B47 diesel engine with a more aggressive aesthetic and firmer suspension. Inside, the G01 introduced a higher standard of material quality and the iDrive 6.0 infotainment system, solidifying its position as a class leader in the premium compact SUV segment.
