Offroading with the bmw X3

It suck

[@PlaceboTree]

Ohh man. I was thinking about getting one. . .still am. I suppose under regular driving conditions its great. But I do go camping alot and sometimes drift off into the woods looking for adventure. Trust me, my 3 series isn't meant for off road and camping! But I'm not quite sure about spending alot more for an X5. What do you guys think?

[@200twistatwista]

It may be the ultimate driving machine but, Its still a on road automobile : )

[@Mouviemager]

yeah, it isn't made for swampland, its just an suv and not a real jeep. but i still think it's a great car

[@MrAussiebogan]

@TheCarista agree with your first point, agree with your second point but id go a jeep wrangler over a land rover for serious off road 4x4ing

[@Sitti2300]

X3, X5 and X6 are AWD, NOT 4x4. AWD and 4X4 are not the same. And they don't have locking differential and low range gear, which are important for 4x4 SUV with offroading capabilities. So X3 ~ 6 are just like AWD sedan car with higher ground clearance.

[@68teban]

they weren't going offroading. they parked there last night, and it rained, now they're stuck.

[@2222dom]

@Nikateer the car also lacks the right gearing.... a low box woud help

[@AdrianC12345]

@Nikateer Because it can't go off-road (which is the ONLY reason to buy an SUV) wagons hold as many people, get better mpgs, look nicer than this, it can't even go through snow, and a 5 series wagon/Volvo vagon are just nicer on the inside.

[@cutetwink23]

the X3 is an amazing car...

[@brabusx2]

what happened to the angel system?

[@AdrianC12345]

@Nikateer No, the car itself is hopeless too. You're better off with a wagon.

[@PopPrincess921]

The X3 isn't an offroad car, it's just a 4x4 car! Same with the Nissan Qashqai, it's a 4x4 but it's no good offroad.

[@waseemo86]

BMW X3 is a street car!

[@dbrandao07]

When will people understand that off-roading is so much about the tyres as it is about the 4x4 vehicle???

[@jml8841]

Off-road and BMW do NOT mix. None of the cars they make is going to last very long off road.

[@LeonRFpoa]

@dbrandao07 it's more like it's about the DRIVER. I can take an accord through that.

[@MrMoufou]

where are you going with this car karamitro

[@NIGHTMAREuki]

@7ortuga so would this X5 with xj's tires

[@AdrianC12345]

@byronpowerband23 An X5 isn't much better, it's still hopeless off road.

[@90th90]

als je vast zit moet je juist niet vol gas geven, jij kan toch ook niet in een keer rennen als je op ijs staat? rustig optrekken het liefst nog met lagen giering maar niet elke auto heeft dat

[@ishkitiev]

this car is not for offroad ;-). If you want offroader get Mercedes G class, Land Rover Defender, Toyota Land Cruiser, Pajero.. This is small suv for snow roads or light mud :-). You don't have mud tyres at least :).

[@MEGAMAGA1980]

С такой резиной не любой внежорожник проедет

[@dilaro4]

@dbrandao07 Totally agree

[@rattlecanpaint]

Why would you take your station wagon off roading? That's all and X3 is, a taller than normal station wagon.

[@UNDERTHESTONE]

The long and short of it is wrong car, x3 are soft roaders at best. For example light snow, country lane and gravel drives. Not thick mud like that my lR4 would have to work a bit at. 2 road tyres clue is in the title. They work on the road not thick mud (not that they would have made any difference here) to sum up find your local Land Rover dealer and do a trade in, you will get something that does what it says it can lol.

[@FretFreak02]

Kan je net zo goed een opel astra kopen.

[@Kuson2]

Someone didn't watch top gear...

[@myooyoke]

Bring in the Land Rover

[@jzy0104]

@UNDERTHESTONE Land Rover?????NO!!! i would rather have being stuck in the mud than being stuck in the dealership because of realiability issues...LOL

[@AdrianC12345]

@PlaceboTree Get either an Audi Q5 or a Volvo XC60. Volvo is safer and has less electrical problems but the Audi is a bit more entertaining to drive. Both beat the X3 in comparisons and the X5 isn't as good as either of those.

[@Spyster007]

Uh oh I think mom is going to be mad!

[@AdrianC12345]

@byronpowerband23 Have you seen the videos of them trying to go on snow??? An X6 is the same thing only uglier and that's absolutely HOPELESS.

[@marcraeter]

gelukkig had ik wat klusmannetjes die mij gelijk uit deze noodsituatie konden helpen voor een euro

[@littlefrank90]

Not an offroad car. A fiat panda 4x4 with regular tires would be better in offroad than a x3 with spikes and a shovel in the bumper

[@TheEarepol]

volgas is niet goed. ga je alleen spinnen net als bij low gear autos gaat offroad ook niet om snel spinnende banden. volgas is voor op het asfalt. oja setje offroad banden doet ook wonderen

[@iceagescrat1]

@dbrandao07 When they get brains!

[@DupczacyBawol]

summertime tyres :) lol

[@kevlor1304]

u have to write : we suck...ned it suck

[@AutoGijs]

we do

[@ABDULLAHfailkawy]

ive got 2 bmws : x5 for my dad and 5 series for me , there sucks , and they sucked out my salary , my dad already found a buyer to the shity x5 , and hes thinking of american motors , perhapes ill do the same with this german junks

[@ListresS2]

why would ya?

[@jordydebouwer]

de x3 stelt egt niks voor in de modder

[@AdrianC12345]

You don't go off roading with an X3!!!! That's like going off road with an EVO FQ-400!!!! They are both hopeless!!!!! Which makes the X3 ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!!!!!!!

[@AutoGijs]

so?

[@Lowrider46]

haha dude, your comment made me laugh so hard :) not :) you begin with a complete explanatory of why bmw's suck and use good arguments and then we talk again. luckily for you, i drove a bmw convertible for half a year and i can tell wether it drove like shit or not. you can't.

[@2l78y8h]

if you don't want your car give it to me

[@gamefever90]

@gijsmarree so it sucks! that is the point! my trabant can do that! :D

[@Lowrider46]

copyright infringement. ik ga je aanklagen

[@therealdeal989]

The X series IS NOT for off road people. I own one and I barely go in grass with it. People who take a expensive GERMAN SAV offroad in MUD deserve what they get

[@taurekas]

00:06 :DDDDD a pfffffffff

[@215alessio]

Achtung Duethers ! Their designs alwais fails in something!!

[@TheCarista]

1) Driver sucked 2) Tires sucked 3) X3 ?? Buy a Land Rover when you want to do some offroading

[@8MunchenBayern8]

dutch.

[@AdrianC12345]

I'm sorry, but it's not just the tire's fault. The whole car is utter shit, the AWD system is simply not calibrated for off-road use. And it's not any more economical, good looking, comfortable, or practical than a 5 Series Estate. BMW failed on this car big time.

[@FordFocusRS29]

just get a jeep...

[@204pippen]

wow ha ha use a real off roader

[@13kmakarenko]

When will people understand that anything made by BMW will never be an off-road SUV? Just look at the X6, worst 4x4 capability ever. Will get stuck on wet asphalt

[@mrrokoso]

"Offroading" with regular tires! LOL any truck will be stuck even a Land Rover with regular tires will get stuck. Idiot people everywhere :S

[@cutetwink23]

if u accelerate THAT hard, u just dig urself deeper into the mud...stupid driver. i was in a similar situ in my fwd mazda 3 and i was fine. controlled acceleration and steering out of the mud is key. LAME driver...
