2014 BMW X3 SUV xDrive28i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Plenty of power and plenty of fun.
 I recently bought a loaded, low-mileage, certified pre-owned 2014 X3 with the 4 cylinder turbo engine.   I was concerned that the 4 cylinder engine would be short on performance.  But, that is not the case at all.   The car gets up and goes, especially when it's in Sport mode.  You don't need the bigger 6 cylinder engine to have fun in this vehicle.   I have taken my X3 up into the mountains along with 2 passengers and luggage.  It went up the mountain without breaking a sweat.  The turbo powered engine along with the 8-speed transmission works flawlessly and always keeps the X3 it's toes.   Plus, the handling is amazing.   I have owned some sporty coupes over the years, and this X3 feels just as sporty as any on them.   I love it!
