BMW has just launched the new X3 in India. Prices start at Rs. 41.20 lakhs for xDrive20d and Rs. 47.90 lakhs for the xDrive30d. The 2012 BMW X3 is being assembled at the company’s facility in Chennai. The old X3 was brought in as a CBU. The new X3 is offered with two diesel engines – xDrive20d and xDrive30d. The xDrive20d uses a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder motor which produces 184 BHP of power at 4000 RPM and 350 Nm of torque between 1750-2750 RPM. Remember, this is the same engine which does duty on the X1, 320d and 520d and returns a ARAI certified mileage of 16 kmpl on the X3. The BMW X3 reaches 0-100 kmph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 210 kmph with this engine. The xDrive30d on the other hand uses a 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder motor which produces 258 bhp of power at 4000 RPM and a mindblowing 560 Nm of torque between 2000-2750 RPM. 0-100 kmph comes up in just 6.2 seconds with top speed being restricted to 210 kmph. We are at the launch and will update this post with more information soon. [click to continue…]
