2015 BMW X3 - Review

02:00 Unknown 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BMW X3 might not have the heady enthusiast reputation of the esteemed 3-Series sport sedan, or the sexier shape of the upcoming (and closely related) X4, but it adds up to what makes sense for a lot of image-conscious families: styling that's smart and suave; a versatile layout; responsive road performance; and impressive fuel efficiency.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgWHHEy3gjej-614ARXEaQ0DcFPp9c2kAt5X2hUHXdE4gW-8UdT1TFKb5Hqb1QeHjNu2jsrntn-buTgxUyawM49DBVSbAMB7ksmZ4WuTvOXx5k8rz8yAcErO0mj7wO8Gblm12t4elMA8S/s1600/0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgWHHEy3gjej-614ARXEaQ0DcFPp9c2kAt5X2hUHXdE4gW-8UdT1TFKb5Hqb1QeHjNu2jsrntn-buTgxUyawM49DBVSbAMB7ksmZ4WuTvOXx5k8rz8yAcErO0mj7wO8Gblm12t4elMA8S/s1600/0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Altogether it's one of the best picks in its class, all considered, and for 2015 the X3 gets a mid-cycle refresh that brings a set of significant changes, as well as some new variants in the model lineup, while for the most part preserving all the fundamentals.

Lean, pert, and graceful are still the best ways to describe the 2015 BMW X3, which eschews the rugged themes so typical in this class and instead looks like a tall sport wagon. There's enough in common visually with the larger X5, although the X3 keeps to its own proportions that better match its more compact size.

This year as part of a light refresh the X3 gets new twin-circular headlights (with optional LED lamps, plus a more flamboyant version of the BMW kidney grille, exterior mirrors with integrated signal lamps, and some other minor changes to the front and rear appearance. Inside, the X3 is elegant but soft, calming, and decluttered--actually blending a driver-centric cockpit feel with the brand's warmer interior look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_Fx31ER4iGzigP_3JM2s-d9UBBQcLFWDBw9BdGmBc-nQ5tKDzbqRosTVjK0e5iDKUvyMzSQ72g7DkApNdBrDD0gXFQKhbF_Iwiida3O1_IEN-vpOPxh7Y7IHAMHRCHQJpTbCD59EYlkU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_Fx31ER4iGzigP_3JM2s-d9UBBQcLFWDBw9BdGmBc-nQ5tKDzbqRosTVjK0e5iDKUvyMzSQ72g7DkApNdBrDD0gXFQKhbF_Iwiida3O1_IEN-vpOPxh7Y7IHAMHRCHQJpTbCD59EYlkU/s1600/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This year brings some more chrome and brightwork, plus high-gloss black trim.

Headlining the changes is the availability of a new xDrive28d model, packing BMW's punchy 2.0-liter TwinPower turbocharged diesel four-cylinder. Rated at 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque (with maximum twist available from just 1,750 rpm), the diesel X3 can hit 60 mph in under eight seconds, and will likely score well on EPA fuel mileage tests.

Otherwise, the 2015 BMW X3 family continues with its all-turbocharged engine lineup, including the new TwinPower four-cylinder that makes 240 hp and 260 lb-ft. It's the perkiest and most V-6-like of the current crop of German turbo fours, and moves the X3 with no hesitation, foot to the floor. New this year is a rear-wheel-drive sDrive28i model, for those in warmer-weather climates, that should be even a bit more spirited for the lack of all-wheel-drive weight. With the xDrive35i, you get a 300-hp, 300 lb-ft<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUKhKW8yMcsv3YBxR-j08JMWGu3I9_DU6asRzfn7EePQSmRoED62EXvPE9sIlrA2sZ3BOxFAuSbYcMCBnKkvZHBbuiaccbmPKFaySiImupbOlME78aQyGVx-2iJAkvBdwHr3SI-eOqqZtJ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUKhKW8yMcsv3YBxR-j08JMWGu3I9_DU6asRzfn7EePQSmRoED62EXvPE9sIlrA2sZ3BOxFAuSbYcMCBnKkvZHBbuiaccbmPKFaySiImupbOlME78aQyGVx-2iJAkvBdwHr3SI-eOqqZtJ/s1600/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
TwinPower six that sizzles to a 60-mph acceleration time of 5.5 seconds, and to a top speed of 150 mph. As we've noted in repeated drives of various X3 variants, it's all a little disconcerting how agile and athletic this vehicle can feel—because the seating height is so tall, yet it lacks the squat, nosedive, and excess motions that are typical in this vehicle class.

All X3 versions except for that base sDrive28i come with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system, which splits power delivery 40/60 percent. It sends 60 percent of torque to the rear wheels in normal driving but can flex to send 100 percent to the rear; we've found it is especially good for maintaining traction and poise when the road surface is slippery.

At about 183 inches long and 74 inches wide, with a wheelbase of 110.6 inches, the X3 has the sensible parking footprint of a compact car, while the added height gives it usefulness as an all-purpose family vehicle. It's sized in the vicinity of models like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, and Cadillac SRX.

If the amount of back-seat space, cargo space, and overall versatility are things that truly matter, you'll find that the 2015 BMW X3 makes a lot of sense. With seating for five, the X3 has a large 19-cubic-foot rear storage area that swells to 56.6 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrW8Bm_5o-yRbQBdwn4pPiJU53WTziI9UhQHDdTkIjOZmzlSmn2ZjNAMBBxrD9iWnbF1OdWPR4K_OG9coXwSsiNS-u9WZyI_VeNlPXOvouIhYyA28AsH4FkjeltVd10mNkoa5re1SB25pu/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrW8Bm_5o-yRbQBdwn4pPiJU53WTziI9UhQHDdTkIjOZmzlSmn2ZjNAMBBxrD9iWnbF1OdWPR4K_OG9coXwSsiNS-u9WZyI_VeNlPXOvouIhYyA28AsH4FkjeltVd10mNkoa5re1SB25pu/s1600/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The rear seats now all have a ski pass-through and 40:20:40 segments for better flexibility and seatback folding. In back, there's space carved out for feet, under the front seat, and head room soars. We recommend the sport seats in front for their extendable thigh bolsters and more aggressive side bolstering; they may feel firmer at first but they're better in long-distance support. And throughout the cabin, BMW has paid close attention to the details. Additionally, 2015 brings new extendable sunshades to the cabin, as well as a sliding cover for the center console plus redesigned cupholders.

New colors are available in the 2015 X3 inside and out, but it's the new xLine and M Sport packages that are some of the most noteworthy additions to the lineup. The xLine offering adds metallic inserts to the bumpers, satin aluminum side accents to the air intakes, and simulated skid plates at the front and rear, as well as extra leather upholstery variations, unique interior trim, and 19-inch alloy wheels.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-KiVMwPAfn0HS-6ZP2EnYqLKZEx7eA-S76H-nkBFnNxwf7AOE37A3YCPdaqmw4Lv8h59oFgcBDePzIHwuznvtXnRdHm3hcPOSAuQj70UtZDkSyuF1WGHnW1ML3TfqxC_3CqR3UTQvOXN/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-KiVMwPAfn0HS-6ZP2EnYqLKZEx7eA-S76H-nkBFnNxwf7AOE37A3YCPdaqmw4Lv8h59oFgcBDePzIHwuznvtXnRdHm3hcPOSAuQj70UtZDkSyuF1WGHnW1ML3TfqxC_3CqR3UTQvOXN/s1600/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The M Sport gets a unique aerodynamic package, high-gloss Shadow Line trim, a choice of six paint finishes, and two exclusive 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheel options; the interior of the X3 M Sport gets an Anthracite roof liner, sport seats, and other M-bred touches to sport up the look and feel.

For 2015, BMW has significantly improved the X3's active-safety and connectivity feature set. The iDrive controller now has touchpad functionality, allowing you to input characters for destination or phonebook entry by tracing characters, and the long list of available features includes a Parking Assistant, the full-color BMW Head-Up Display, Active Driving Assistant with ACC Stop & Go, Lane Departure Warning, Pedestrian Warning, City Collision Mitigation, and Frontal Collision Warning.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2015 BMW 2-Series is a well-rounded luxury sports coupe with looks, handling, features, and speed that belie its entry-level positioning.Just last year, the BMW 2-Series replaced the 1-Series Coupe, keeping its fundamental place in the automaker's lineup but bringing improved styling, better handling, and upgraded size and materials. And now, for 2015, there's more important news for the lineup: a convertible body style and all-wheel drive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2-Series slots right into the 1-Series’ former position in the BMW range, but there's some significant change that BMW fans especially are going to spot right away. The 2-Series exterior is smoother, sleeker, and better-proportioned in every respect; it's longer, wider, and more spacious than the 1-Series as well. Perhaps owing to its slight increase in size, the curves, vents, and angles come together in a more graceful, artful way with the 2-Series. The mix of a relatively long hood, arched roof, and stubby tail speak to classic sports-coupe proportions, while managing to echo the look of the new 4-Series coupe at the same time.</div>

The cabin of the 2015 BMW 2-Series is clearly driver-centric, with instruments and controls oriented for easy access. Materials look as good as they feel, and BMW offers a range of upgrades and trim lines to customize the car to the buyer’s preferences. Two engines are available in the 2-Series: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder for the 228i, rated at 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque; and a 3.0-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder in the M235i that’s good for 322 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and new for the 2015 model year, xDrive all-wheel drive is available. M235i models have the choice of a six-speed manual transmission or eight-speed automatic; 228i coupes also offer the choice, but 228i convertibles come with the automatic only.</div>

Despite the powerful engines and sprightly acceleration, the 2-Series manages fair gas mileage in rear-drive form, with the 228i returning 23 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. In M235i form, mileage drops as low as 19/26/22 mpg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Performance in the 2-Series is brisk. Even the base model accelerates to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, while the M235i does the deed in 4.8 seconds. All-wheel drive shaves a couple tenths from either figure. Also new for the 2015 model year is a Track Handling Package code-named ZTR. Available on both rear- and all-wheel-drive 228i models, the new package adds the Adaptive M Suspension system, variable sport steering, M Sport Brakes, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 18-inch wheels, and revised springs that reduce ride height by 10 mm. The new Track Handling Package costs $1,600 when chosen with the M Sport or Sport Line options, or $2,200 without.</div>

Whichever version of 2-Series you may prefer, you’ll find the cabin surprisingly spacious for a sports coupe, with ample front seat space in every dimension and a wide range of adjustability for seating and steering wheel position. The rear seat is markedly roomier than the 1-Series, but still not quite comfortable for the full range of adult body sizes. An “Easy Entry” function improves accessibility to the rear seat, however--critical inside the Convertible, which is narrower in the back seat due to top packaging and hardware for its pop-up roll protection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The convertible top, by the way, raises or lowers in 20 seconds, and can be operated at speeds of up to 30 mph. Cargo space is fair, if not impressive, with 13.8 cubic feet available in the trunk. The rear seats are split-folding, offering room for larger cargo when necessary (though access is narrower on convertibles due to body-structure additions). Up front you’ll find two cupholders, a glove box, and large door pockets for small-item storage.<br />

The 2015 BMW 2-Series hasn’t yet been rated by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). And while the 2-Series doesn’t offer much advanced active-safety wizardry, or the cutting-edge technology of the brand’s full-size sedans, it does have a fair array of available high-tech equipment, including navigation with iDrive, a touch-sensitive console controller, driver assistance and connected telematics services, several advanced safety features, and a central display up to 8.8 inches wide. On the entertainment front, a Harmon Kardon HiFi audio system is available, as is Bluetooth audio streaming, app compatibility, and more. </div>
