Any BMW X3 experts/owners out there?

If its got HK speaker grills it should have the HK system  which is a result! easiest way to check is to put the Vin no in to the BMW build checker and it'll list the build options selected. some saddos do just buy the trims!

and absolutely ridiculous fuel consumption!  its a 2 ton vehicle so  17- 20mpg  !he 30d is more than enough power and balances it with decentish economy

No idea on the MPG. I’ve the same engine in the 3-series and over 80k miles i’m averaging 34.4MPG.

Put the last 7 digits of your VIN into here; www.bmwvin.com

It’ll list all the options.

I had a 335 D Sport touring X drive it was averaging 36.4 mpg the X3 is a much heavier vehicle and x3 35d struggles to get over 25 mpg in normal urban driving, good fun but not what you want day to day

Nobody buys a 3 litre diesel for tootling around town. You buy a 3 litre diesel for munching motorway miles.

I didn't I need the  Xtra Ground clearance as I'm up and down tracks and country lanes, If i was driving big motorway miles i wouldn't buy a 3.0 diesel x3

I'm not too concerned by the mpg. My petrol qashqai was mid 30s. I know I will see a drop in mpg to that and also that diesel is more expensive than petrol but in the grand scheme of things, for me personally, I don't think it will be a huge.

I did get my first shock today though. I insured it and it was £1,400! I was kind of expecting it but I'm 38 years old and and an account and it's more than a £1,000 over my last car.

Picking it up in a bit so should know more about it very soon.

Ouch.  My modified 335d was "only" £944 and this is with a few claims on there.

I've never paid that much for insurance ever. M140i at 34 years old was only £450.
