The BMW X3 xDrive 30d is the top of the X3 range and it is absolutely a favourite here at OzRoamer. 2014 will bring about an all new X3 however this review is based on the 2013 model. Here you have an AWD SUV that has a degree of balance between the competing elements that is a cut above most of its competitors.
The BMW X3 xDrive30d is almost perfectly balanced as an AWD SUV. While it has some off road aspirations, take it too far and it’s not pretty. Think of it as a sports SUV that provides balance in performance and handling with reasonable towing capacity.

Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
