WHY YOU'D LOVE TO DRIVE THIS BIMMER, BUT MAY WONDER WHY THE CABIN HAS MEDIOCRE PLASTICS

- VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

ELON MUSK is known for his fascination with the letter 'X' — he renamed Twitter as X, his space exploration company is called SpaceX, and even one of his sons' name is XÆ A-Xii.

BMW seems to have a similar fascination — its entire SUV range starts with the letter 'X' — and the newest is the X3 (launched at the Auto Expo earlier this year), which we took for an extravagant road trip around New Delhi.

The large BMW kidney grille makes it look bulbous; step into the cabin and the flat-bottomed M steering wheel will welcome you; performance is good and our test car did 0-100 km/h in about 8 seconds; it handles better than most competitors, and on sharp turns, there is almost zero body roll; if you brake hard, it won't lose its line
