The £60,000 BMW X3 M40d offers plenty of usable performance, but how does it compare to the petrol-powered Porsche Macan?
The eight-speed ZF auto transmission helps in this respect; gearing is both typically short and the shifts themselves very quick, clean and responsive. There is some turbo lag if you catch the 3-litre off guard, but when the turbo is puffing it has all the performance you could reasonably want in any gear and across most of the rev band.
But, and there was always going to be a ‘but’, while the powertrain might exude a treacly smoothness, the same can’t be said of the chassis. All the ingredients are there, but BMW seems to have rationalised that super-tight damping is more important than even a semblance of suppleness – this is a diesel SUV, remember.
