BMW X3 G01/F97 xDrive20i Advantage Steptronic - Town car

Is the BMW X3 also suitable for people on the road in city? Here it especially depends on the vehicle dimensions, but also on comfort features such as parking assistance and connectivity.

With a length of 4708 mm and a width of 2138 mm, it is increasingly difficult to find parking spaces in German cities. Tight turns in particular are becoming a challenge. Even parking assistants are only of limited help. The turning circle of 12 meters is okay considering the dimensions, but that doesn't help much in the city - you'll have a hard time with this colossus there. If you are on the road a lot, you should definitely order a 360-degree camera.

The vehicle has electronics and assistants that make parking automatic, i.e. self-steering, if desired. Parking sensors are installed in the front and rear, and also on the sides. A rear-view camera is installed, which automatically displays the image in the infotainment system when reversing.

Rating: The dimensions of the BMW X3 can make it a real problem when maneuvering space is at a premium. Parking sensors, parking assistance like self-steering systems and at least a rearview camera are all on board with this vehicle and help in tricky situations. If you move around a lot in the city and have to rely on public parking spaces, you won't do yourself any favors with this car.
