#XLINE BMW X3 BLUETOOTH#

Standard features on the X Line include dual zone climate control, 205 W sound system with 9 speakers, Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, USB, sun blinds for rear windows, front and rear parking sensors and a large panoramic sunroof. The rear passengers get their own AC vents and the centre arm rest at the rear comes with two cup holders. This is because the base of the rear seat sits low. While the rear seats do not lack in outright comfort, under thigh support is lacking to an extent. They come with electric adjust and the driver’s seat gets memory function as well. The front seats are fairly large and very comfortable. The glove box is deep and has a fair bit of stowage space. There are a couple of cup holders under a sliding cover on the centre console. A 16.5 cm colour display screen sits in the centre of the dashboard, which displays information from the iDrive infotainment system. The horn pad however, is a bit hard to the touch. The three spoke multifunction sport steering wheel feels nice to hold. The instrument cluster is simple and functional and has an MID that can be scrolled through via a controller on the steering wheel. The centre console has polished black surfaces and there are wood panels on the doors and passenger side of the dashboard. The cabin of the X3 is spacious and has an airy feel to it thanks to the two tone interiors. Wheel designs are said to make or break the looks of a car and in this case, they certainly take the character of the X3 a few notches higher. The X3 comes shod with 18 inch Y spoke alloys in the X Line trim and they are easily one of the best looking alloys designs from BMW in a long time. There are no changes to the rear except a new bumper. Turn indicators are now moved to the ORVMs, and instead, chrome inserts are found on the front fenders. The front bumper is complete restyled and comes integrated with LED fog lamps. The grille in the X Line gets silver slats which look classy. The headlamps get bi Xenon projectors with LED corona rings. There are new larger headlamps that merge with the BMW kidney grille. Look at the X3 from a distance and you could mistake it to be its elder sibling, the X5. We spent a weekend with X Line variant and gave it some stick on tarmac and did some offroading too. Apart from styling updates, it is also the first BMW to get the new generation 2.0 litre twin turbo diesel engine. BMW launched a refreshed X3 in the second half of 2014 in India. The current generation F25 has been on sale in India for quite some time now but it somehow never invoked a special feeling that a premium German automobile should.
