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.

What is the X3?

BMW has four main SUV models — X1, X3, X5, and X7. The X3, as the list shows, is somewhere in the middle — and ex-showroom, it is priced from ₹75.8 lakh for the petrol variant (X3 xDrive20 M Sport) and ₹77.8 lakh for the diesel variant (X3 xDrive20d M Sport).

How does it look?
