Are you used to driving a SUV? If not, be warned that the ride is pretty harsh and bumpy especially for rear seat passengers. The X3 doesn't come with Dynamic Dampers so you don't get a choice of suspension. Interior space wise, its similar to a sedan. Nothing more.

My friend bought a brand new X3 last year and is now regretting cuz of the lack of ride comfort. He's now keen to trade in for a 5 Series.

Thanks for your respond.

I'm not exactly used to drive SUV.
Actually my father has a Durian farm.
That why i'm looking for SUV, since sometimes i will travel to the farm.
If SUV type, which model you would suggest me to look into?

I dont think BMW has that kind of SUV that suits ur usage. My suggestion is either Ford Ranger / the new Ford Everest.

Then, what is good for BMW X series?

Well if you really want BMW X series, go for X5. My bro in law drives X5 and it's very comfy.. but he never drives off road though.

Actually, the road to the farm are not that bad. I wouldnt call it off road. X5 quite big for my wife to drive. But will go and test drive 1st. 80% most time the car will be use on highway, long distance driving.
