Since replacing the 3 Series in 2018, a total of 200 000 X3s have rolled off of the Rosslyn Plant assembly line outside Pretoria.
While not as radical as those of some of its siblings, the changes to the X3 are prominent at the front.
Using the same underpinnings as the E90 3 Series Touring, the X3’s mini X5 attire was not to everyone’s taste. Digs were taken at its cost-cutting interior, lack of off-road prowess and perhaps the most common, an unforgiving ride. The first leg of the journey to the stunning Shephard’s Tree Game Reserve in the Pilanesberg took place behind the wheel of the xDrive20d. This derivative now comes standard with the all-paw gripping system and, as with every other model, the eight-speed Steptronic gearbox.Despite the now filthy reputation associated with oil-burners, the 20d showcased its talents in quite impressive form on the 213 km trek to our overnight spot.
