I’M USUALLY A fan of road trips. However, it turns out that a 5am start is enough to dampen my enthusiasm – particularly when the majority of the journey is going to be on the motorway.
It was last month, and I had to get from my home in west London to the Peak District for a video shoot. But while that felt more like a chore than a treat as I climbed into my BMW X3, I was quickly reminded that this car is an excellent mile-muncher.
