BMW X3
Both mind and motor reap the rewards of some sea air
It may be an M Performance car but it’s also an SUV
MILEAGE 4828 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT Is this version good enough to be the performance X3?
Back when Jane Austen and the like were still writing, they would often take themselves to the seaside for some rejuvenation. I’ve never actually read Pride and Prejudice, but I reckon an issue of Autocar is much the same, so I figured I too should head out of the big smoke for some fresh air.
My wife suggested Rye. I’d never been before and it’s in one of those fabulous locations that’s both rural and not too far away from London. It would also give me a chance to test monotonous start-stop city manoeuvring, a bit of motorway, a few B-roads, then how it behaves on tight Tudor streets.
