1St Versus 2Nd Generation X3 - Shopping Advice

Recommended Posts

I’ve been thinking of trading my 3 series BMW for an X3 and could use some advice about the differences between the first and second generation versions. My tendency is to buy used cars, I suppose because I’m practical and overly cheap so I’ve been thinking of a late first generation 2010 or early second generation 2011 or 2012. From the standpoint of look and size, I

prefer the first generation X3, but I’ve read many reviews that criticize its hard and stiff ride. I haven’t had an opportunity to drive one so I don’t know how bad it is, or if it’s a problem at all. I’ve driven a new 2013 X3 28i and like the way it handles, and it really isn’t much different from my 325xi.


Can those of you with experience with both generations offer some insight into the pros and cons of purchasing one or the other?
