Never mind the performance, the X3 has got serene comfort nailed

BMW X3

Get you a girl who can do both' is current internet slang for someone who possesses contrasting qualities. Perhaps somebody who has read Classics at Oxford but also knows how to weld. Anyway, I saw a video recently and couldn't help thinking of the X3, because I've recently found that the BMW can indeed do both. And one more. Take that, TikTokers.

This tale begins at 5.30am with a long day ahead. The BMW's first job was to ferry me from home in east London to the Autocar office in west London. An unglamorous task, but one that was deftly executed by big comfy seats for my backside, huge mirrors for my eyes and insurance premiums, and close to 40mpg for my wallet.

Terrible, terrifying and yet tremendous

\"I could drive it to the moon and back and run over everything on the way,\" says Tom Exton about his Brabus Mercedes G500 4x42, also known as the G500 Squared. I don't doubt it. In addition to the 'regular' Squared's gains over the standard G500 (more than twice the ground clearance, thanks to the fitment of portal axles, a wider body, deeper wading capability, larger 22in wheels and steeper approach and departure angles), its Brabus-tweaked bi-turbo 4.0-litre petrol V8 produces 493bhp, up from 416bhp.
