Grayson BMW

When BMW announced the replacement of its original and segment-founding X3, a nervous tension filled the air. You see, BMW's original X3 was polarizing to look at - to be kind. And while it drove well and met the economic and utilitarian needs of a large market segment, many snubbed its ugly duckling looks and held on to their wallets. The stakes were high as Bavarian executives pulled the silk off of BMW's all-new…

    It's time to dart through city back-roads and get a feeling for the X3 in an urban driving environment. No longer the new kid, can it still keep the beat? Again, its solidity and poise is felt, and it likes to be driven in a fashion that shows off these qualities. Push the X3 beyond a modest pace, and it answers, but in a less than enthusiastic manor - it does not beg for more?

    BMW introduced the new X3 to the world's motoring press at an off road facility known as Painted Rock Farm a few days ago. The new X3 is considered an all-road, all-weather vehicle and what better way to determine whether or not it's still a BMW then to subject to twisty streets, gravel roads, and rutted tracks.
