Dual personality car

I have been driving a BMW 3 Series for the last one year. It is very comfortable and works well as a family car. It gives an average mileage of around 15 km per litre. If you want speed, it delivers easily. The main drawback I feel is its design, which looks a bit outdated. The newer BMW models have updated designs, so the 3 Series feels slightly old in comparison.

BMW X3 xDrive20 M Sport

I like BMW very much, the way it drifts and the smoothness it has. I really like it very much, its mileage is also good in diesel and its safety is also awesome, and its technology is also good.

This is the new, fourth-generation BMW X3. And not surprisingly, it is bigger; it packs in more tech and features; and it has a design that not many will initially like. Here's our full review.
