Performance BMW

By always carrying jargon EfficientDynamics, BMW tried to promote the efficiency of a car, without sacrificing power or driving pleasure. At least that is always heralded.

Given the X3, with a diesel engine, it seems indeed EfficientDynamics is what you want to pursue. 184 hp at 4,000 rpm produce 0-100 kph acceleration that is good enough only 10.1 seconds.

But when teraih torque at 1,750 rpm, the engine seemed to never lose breath until the needle reaches RPM redline at 4,500 rpm range.

Agility X3 also quite noticeably in the middle rounds. Acceleration time overtake that feels qualified to make us confident to shimmy between traffic density inside or outside the city. When measured, the acceleration in the speed of 60-80 kph, the average overtake performed at such speeds, can be achieved in just 2.3 seconds.
