  • apparently 47 morons own an x3 

  • fuck this one, the 2012 BMW x3 is awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • range rover to the rescue... again

  • Getting out of the trunk would've worked

  • pusi kurac konju jedan

  • @CarleoneStyle If anyone wonders what he said is, literally: Suck a di**, you morron".. ti si konj, a on je genije

  • Love the part where Jeremy says did the designer sneeze, cracks me up everytime.

  • the new one is way better

  • i think 4000 extra for an x5 is worth it..may be only a few inches difference in length, but one is a poodle, and the other a great dane :D

  • acHU!

  • Comment removed

  • 5:37,jeremy,get out from the back :)

  • I have the 2007 3.0d msport and it is a brilliant car. 500nm torque 0-60 in 7.2 and handles so well on the road. Off-road not great but hey i dont drive round in fields all day.

    The facelift had better interior materials and external bodywork tweaks.

    Fair enough that car in the video looks cr*p (pre facelift model).

    These days second hand x3s are such good value for money its unbelievable compared o say a Q5 or a6 estate.

    I also average 35 mpg in the town. not bad for a big motor.

  • LOL wind erosion

  • @ahmed09071 your right. Don't forget the almighty 3 series!

  • i hve the new 2011 x3 much bigger engine better styling and it has a new 3.5si twin turbocharged engine and can get to 161mph if you give it everything. My friend has a 2008 model and to be honest its not to bad it has a 3.0si turbocharged engine styling isnt to bad either its just cuzz jeremy bought the non turbocharged model because my friends x3 jst flies over big steep sand dunes

  • @ahmed09071 The 3.0si is a engine that is not turbo. The si version uses the N52 engine instead of the 2.5L or 3.0L M54. In the US the non-sport edition is electronic governor is set at 130MPH, while the sport edition is 155 MPH. DOT regulations.

  • Buying any soft-roader says to others: "I'm an idiot. I prefer looks and quasi status-climbing to dynamics, handling, performance, economy, style, cost, ability, passive safety....." Anyone buying a soft-roader, no matter how expensive is a retard.

  • lol this is, in my opinion, one of the funniest reviews on youtube.

  • pathetic, hideous, rip-off car

  • @highlyporsche That was the old one in the video. The new is better in every aspect.

  • @highlyporsche do you have it and are disappointed of it? if your argument is based on jeremy's saying i think you should give it another thought. clarkson doesen't just review cars the way they are, he is subjective in order to be funnier and humurous..if you want an objective car show watch 5thgear, maybe not as entertaining but definetly objective

  • Nice Land Rover at the end. Looks strong and massive

  • @atapeatape remove yourself from the gene pool, fuckwit

  • I have the Bmw x3 2006 model and it is perfect!The styling of this car is very nice and diferrent from other Savs and bmw x5! It has perfect handling and it goes pretty well off road for a sav!But this car is not for off road!If you want an off road car buy a land rover!You wont buy a so expensive sav to go off road!!!

  • 4:59 Tractor beats all.

  • And yet North Americans still lap up these shitty little SUVs that do no better off-roading than your common Saturn. My god, what is wrong with us...

  • 3:20 OUT THERRR

  • Being a BMW lover, this is embarrassing :(

  • @1tranekfny dnt worry we hve the z4m the m1 m3 m5 m6 and the x5m x6m and the v12 twin turbocarged monster the bmw 760li there is nothing to be embarrassed about

  • Comment removed

  • That was a good looking Land Rover.

  • this is the ugliest car i have ever seen

  • ga-doonk

  • Show me a car that needs only 5-8 liters of diesel for 100 km. and with 2.0 d engine goes 10 sek to a 100 km/h. There is NONE!!!!!!!!!!. Its not a offroad car. It just need to take me from my home to the shop or to school to pickup my children in winter so my wife doestn end in a row . Cheap bumpers ??? wtf see allroad audi that is fckn cheap. Every new bmw wich come out seems ugly but now look at bmw 1 series ang compare it to golf 5. Golf looks like shit bye. .

  • @cinass666 most cars with 2l diesel engine will do 0-100k in 10s and consume less than 5l/100km.

  • I work at a car wash and I have to clean about 10 of these every day. They are ugly, cheap (quality), and the people who drive them are stuck up and never tip. buy a real car dumb ass is exactly what I wanna say to them.

  • I own a 2005 BMW X3, and I'd have to say I disagree. The ride is actually very smooth in my opinion. And I also would have to say it looks beautiful. It's obviously not an off-road car, but is still fun on wet, back road couses, not hilly ones.

  • @InsideOhio im sorry mate but for that price you could buy something much better looking and no doubt with better performance

  • @MrRromy I've had it for 6 years and wouldnt trade it for anything.

  • @InsideOhio Beautiful? i wouldnt agree with that. I used to have the E53 X5, that thing is great looking and was put together flawlessly. The X3 had much more zip to it but the ride wasnt as nice as the X5 and one could definitely tell it was put together by Magna Steyr

  • Landcruiser would have pulled that bmw out

  • The defender

  • what was that land rover called

    

  • cool 

  • Honestly... How ugly is this car. They need to do the 2011 model, soooooo much better, especially with the m sport package!

  • @mercbenzamg63 Ass ugly and put together like shit. I recently drove the new X3 35i and i wasnt really wowed at all by it, altho build quality was a bit better. But i used to have an 02 X5 3.0 and would take a 2003 X5 4.6is over the new X3 any day

  • @stormthorgerson

    Ya i know this car is just terrible. In the new 2011 35i, the engine is so much better though,good quality engine. Think it does 0-60 in like 5.7 seconds which is good for an suv with 300hp and 300lbs/feet. And ya the build quality is better but honestly they need to take a page out of Audi's playbook for interior. BMW needs to add a lot more wood to make this interior better in the 2011 X3

  • they really should review the 2008 and 2011 they are so much nicer. especially the sport version

  • he's a horse of a man

  • Comment removed

  • Ballocks. My dad's just bought an x3

  • if you want to go offroad, buy a tractor

  • wow... comparing an sav with an hardcore offroader... xD WOW!!!

  • 3:21 OUT THERE

  • Worst car BMW made but the rest r the BEST!

  • @bmw4lfe X6, X1, 1 series hatch, 3 series arent "best"

  • @shobin05 ur wrong the rest r the best

  • @bmw4lfe no it isnt. that thing is awesome, the economy for me is better than smaller much cheaper cars.

  • @bmw4lfe you forgot the x6

  • Clarkson is really furies about this cheap car :D

  • i feel like Jeremiah weed would cause me to fail a drug test

  • This is kind of reviews that i like from Top Gear , i dont like when they only review of super cars and or some stupid topics like making an old car..

  • Sounds Guys FTW!

  • Dear kids, Top Gear is meant to be funny, you should not take ti too seriously. For all of you who thinks that X3 sucks off road watch this

    watch?v=fqgfE95mfQQ

  • @Krushaaak This is out of the more serious period of TG, when they used to do proper road tests with funny comments

  • @Krushaaak a ford mondeo could do the same thing off road...

  • @Krushaaak Haha Jeremy is right that car sucks at off roading, that was a peace of cake vid

  • Well, if we question the existence of the X3, what in bloody hell is the purpose of the X1??

  • the new ones look better... :)

  • who buys this car to go off road?

  • @ohiost8freak its an suv

  • @9090336 It's an SCV - Small Crossover Vehicle

  • @ohiost8freak Then why buy an SUV?! Might as well buy a saloon or an estate.

  • @ohiost8freak Who buys this car??

  • @milasevic

    dopey women whom all the care about is what the neighbours think. and status.

  • @ohiost8freak it says 4 wheel drive

  • @ohiost8freak who buys an SUV?

  • @ohiost8freak who makes an SUV that can't?

  • @Vudo865 unfortunately every car makers at these days :/

  • @ohiost8freak An offroader o.O

  • @ohiost8freak If you can't go with SUV off road, it loses it's point and is just a bigger and worse saloon/station wagon...

  • @Kokosiak1 except ... for the fact that it can handle 90% of what a normal driver would throw at it when it comes to leaving the road...(not everybody finds it amzuing to go rock climbing lol) and you dont have to crouch to get inside it, and its more spacious, and you sit higher than in a regular station wagon , and its safer in case of a crash... and its more economical than a true 4*4 ( lets say a Range Rover)

  • @oldirtybastard213 I don' see a point of buying a car which: cannot go offroad, on the road is worse, yeah, the only advantage is that you have better point of view...

    and about the space, I am SURE it isnt more spacious than a regular family estate in that price category. I have sat in few SUVs like these, and they are not very big, even Q7, X5...

  • @Kokosiak1 I own the 07 3.0si with Sport and M package and it fits my lifestyle perfectly. While it is not the best offroader, compared to my previous ML320, it is decent in snow (granted if you dont have summer tires on..), small enough for city parking, and enough space to tote 5 people around. Luggage space is not great, but decent. I guess it is all dependent on lifestyle. The gas mileage is not bad either, averages about 21 MPG. I wanted something smaller, that sits higher than a sedan.

  • @fAlCoNNiAn it seems like the x3 is a really good concept, just needs some more beefing up.

  • @ohiost8freak BMW kinda advertised it to be good off road.

  • my mom had one and it hade wood leather panoramic sunroof and would drive smooth so that must be the cheapest model out there.

  • it's wonderful how just one letter change can make such stupid car from such awesome car.. M3... X3...

  • hahaha .. nice .. review...!!!

  • this is so to say 'budget urban SUV' with half the motor size, half the fuel expenditure and obviously half the price of Range Rover. There should be a difference, too obvious...

  • sure he goes offroad with normal tires and he is going offroad in a hard terrain

  • Conclusion: When you buy an X3, buy a tractor too.

  • @etienne6657 Then dont buy a diesel ;)

  • Very nice car :) Well designed, luxury items, and fast engines :)

  • tractor wins :)

  • Love the video. haha you forgot the hatch to let you out :-)

  • He totally sucks at driving off road. I mean seriously bad.

  • @LarryBlackwater its not the fact that he drives idiot its the car. the car cant drive offroad. u cud put a 10 year old in a range rover and he can drive offroad

  • why not buy a dacia duster? it's 3 times cheaper and just about the same (in off road performances) :))

  • @alexutzu2115 are you a socialist?

  • @Channel4Four no, I'm romanian :))

  • @alexutzu2115 lol

  • this car was made for idiots...every crossovers and little SUVs are made for idiots..

  • lol the poor camera crew

  • 3:20

  • My trooper owns this shit off road

  • junk

  • grr man,, y do they BMW that much?????

  • Press 7 a bunch. Jeremy does a funny head dance. haha

  • actually he really overdone it with the ofroad thing it is mildly offroad not a pickup truck!!

  • Ga- Dunk!!

  • 7:17 "the K-TNG noise" lmfao

  • hahahahaha get out and push

  • i want to see the ford f-150 raptor ;)

  • @Bacstam i have a poster of it in my rooom lmao.. with suspension

  • LMAO!

    pause at 3:23

    LMAO!

  • My friend's X3 had a problem with it's driveshaft everytime he goes offroading.

  • what season is it!?

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn­kkkkkkkkkkkkk machine........

  • it just shows how much rubbish marketing BMW puts into their SUVs

  • @junweila Its just what people demand i think

  • can anyone tell me from whitch episode and season this is ? :S i wanna see the badass defender in action :P

  • I AM GOING TO GET A SOUND RECORDIST FOR MY X3!

  • they used soft focus to film this video so, although its at 480p which is really good

    it looks slight blurry and off egde

  • Infact it´s made in the same factory as the Mercedes SLS

  • OUT THERE

  • I wish I saw this before buying my X3 *lol*. BTW, it is definatley not the same price as a 5 series, though I do admit I would have gone for the 3 series wagon. I like the X3 stiff suspension and the engine roar.

  • i wonder if the 2011 version has a better ride

  • как можно сравнивать разного класа машины.вся эта програма сделана для пропихивания английского металлолома

  • Wow, I actually laughed.

  • Wow, xDrive is horrible for off-road use

  • What idiot would take a new bmw offroad?

  • @vadimyuryev

    Maybe because the BMW was supposed to perform off road? What kind of a fucktard (you for example) doesn't take a 4x4 off road because it is new...

    Stop commenting on cars you little shit because you obviously know nothing. :D

  • @vadimyuryev its a 4X4 idiot, its meant to go off road. Thats like saying who would take a brand new range rover off road. so dont comment if you dont know anything

  • hahahahahaha

    "a-choooo!"

  • @vadimyuryev thats what i did while reading your comment

  • Jeremy Clarkson is the BEST person to review ANY car and such a AMAZING sense of HUMOUR as well

  • @QuasymodoFerrari really? i find him completely obnoxious and irritating. but maybe that's just me. he can, however drive very well. less ludicrous analogies and metaphors would be nice...

  • X5 is too big and ugly for me. X3 is perfect

  • hahahahahahaa

  • Look at the guys face at 4:23 LOLOL

  • how can you like or dislike this video?

  • "OUT THERE!"

  • Now I really hate this ugly piece of metal! And I really do not think that this is a good off-roader.

    But you simply cannot compare an X3 with road tires on with a "true" off-roader with according tires. With offroad tires the X3 would have performed much better.

    The lacking ground clearance cannot be undone by that of course :-)

  • @sup3rcars Not really... how do you see it in your way?

  • no clarkson u where next to a wind surfer

  • @sup3rcars No if you don't like the car, you'd like the video, because Jeremy rips it apart with how crap it is. People who like the car wouldn't like the video so they'd dislike it.... you my friend, are the stupid one.

  • For realy off road trips, I also own an UAZ 469 - military version

  • the x3 aint off roader , not that nice to look at too, i had a go in one though it was really nice to drive feels safe , ive had a 318ci id pick an x3 over that......better family car, yeah but if iwas guna go of road a defender is the boss of the muddy mountains

  • But I have to admit is not a nice car. The styling is not the best, but it works

  • This car is nothing about off road car. I had 2 Mitsubishi pajero in the past 2.8 and 3.2 diesel engined. They were beter in off road, but over all, the bmw I own now ( 3.0 sd ) is a far more likely car. And this is because I use the car 80% on road, 10% in the snow ( with snow tyres ) and 10 % on bed roads.

  • @sup3rcars So why are you saying that 24 people have good taste then? The people who have disliked this video are almost certainly fans of this stupid car.

  • Jeremy Clarkson is an idiot (mutant)

  • Ten chlap je normálny idiot

  • Actualy, the facelift of this model ( after 2007 ) is a very good car. I have a 3.0 sd model with SKN chiptuning. On the road is very fast ( faster than a Cayenne GTS ). On bed roads it can handle ( is not an off road car, but is better then a saloon ). In winter, on slipery roads is perfect with proper tyres. The styling is better on the facelift. There is an improvement on the suspension too. Is not that bumpy like is described even with sport suspension and 18 inch rims

  • @sup3rcars How? How is the X3 good in ANY way AT ALL?

  • bmw x3... Designed in california and built in South Carolina... owned by germans. so is the x5, x6, Z3 and Z4....

  • @ninjafatballz Obviously not this year model... but now the X3 is built at the BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC...

  • @ninjafatballz The 1st gen X3 (2004-2010) was designed by BMW and Magna Styer and were built in Graz, Austria. the 2nd Gen X3 (2010-current) are being built in the BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Although the BMW plant in South Carolina is the only factory to produce the X5, X6 and more recently the X3, they no longer produce the Z4, as for the production of the now 2nd Gen Z4 (2008-current) are being produced in the BMW plant in Regensburg, Germany.

  • More cars should come with sound recordists.

  • o my got¡¡¡

  • Comment removed

  • @airplanes66 so you like the BMW X3?

  • @nielslernou sorry i mean the oposite from what i said. i got my figures wrong sorry about that.

  • in "theory"....couldent he get out through the boot/window?

  • @vasco10506 yes that's true. It depens where you live too. But check in the snow if you live in a country where is a lot of snow in the winter you'll see who wins.. X3, X6 not. It responds the same like any other car in the snow

  • I don't think the X3 is really designed to cope with that sort of offroading, although it did seem to manage most of it ok, but Jeremy Clarkson bellied it a couple of times.

  • my friend has an x6 and i haven't seen a single man fit comfortably in the back without wanting for headroom.
