BMW’s UK unit has begun its usual new model year tweaks, including adding two new versions to its X3 small SUV line: the xDrive30d and xDrive35d and better spec and more versions of the 5GT.

Both have a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard; the three-litre turbodiesel 30d produces 258hp and 560Nm of torque to accelerate from zero to 62mph in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 130mph with CO2 emissions of 159g/km and combined fuel consumption of 47.1mpg.
