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.

Has enough power for Indian roads

Bought the car from the Mumbai showroom in December 2023 and it has been a great journey since. Over 1 year of my ownership it has been the best experience. It has enough power for Indian roads and is a great pleasure to drive. The rear seat comfort is a bit on the low side but the engine and driving dynamics make up for it. All the Porsche staff are amazing to deal with and always there to help.
