2024 BMW X3 sDrive30i

The 2024 BMW X3 is a compact luxury SUV that slots between the X1 and the X5, offering a blend of sport and utility. It squares off against the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Volvo XC60, all with their own strengths. The X3 handles with the poise of a sport sedan, and the steering is precise and well-weighted. Inside, the cabin is spacious and well-built, with a user-friendly infotainment system and plenty of cargo room. Owners praise the X3's strong performance and dependability, though some note a bit of road noise at speed. The sDrive30i is the rear-wheel-drive version for the driver who doesn't need all-weather traction and wants to save a few thousand over the xDrive30i. The standard 19-inch alloy wheels and adaptive LED headlights are welcome, but you'll notice the firmer ride from the sport-tuned suspension on rough pavement.
