BMW X3

BMW X3 Review

For the X3’s LCI, BMW has fitted new headlights and bumpers, plus made a few small changes to spec that most would fail to notice.

The “18d” bit refers to the engine, which in this case is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel. What’s clever here is that BMW is now constructing these engines in a modular way. So it builds lots of 50cc cylinders and then bolts however many of them together that it needs for a particular car. For a Mini it might be only three. For an X3 it’s four. Think of it like Lego, but with more oil and less chance of losing a piece under the sofa.
