Question 1

What are the known problems of the BMW X3 20d?

Accepted Answer

The N47 2.0 diesel in X3s built before the 2014 update can suffer timing-chain wear, heard as a rattle from the back of the engine. The B47 that replaced it has a far better record.

Question 2

Should I choose a BMW X3 20d or 30d?

Accepted Answer

The four-cylinder 20d is cheaper to run and quick enough for most drivers. The six-cylinder 30d is smoother and stronger when towing, and pays more road tax for its higher CO₂.

Question 3

How much road tax does a diesel BMW X3 pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its official CO₂ × 0.9 × a band factor that rises by 0.1 every 10 g/km above 90, half as much again as a petrol X3 at the same CO₂. Cars first registered from 2021 are taxed on the WLTP figure.

Question 4

What should I check on a used BMW X3 diesel's particulate filter?

Accepted Answer

Whether the car has made regular longer runs, as short trips clog the filter and can lead to costly cleaning or replacement. On later cars, check too that no AdBlue warning shows.
