Which of these two X3s should I buy?
I am considering buying a BMW X3. Can you please advise whether it is better to buy new with not so many options or buying a 1 year old model with say 10,000 miles but more options for less money?

It depends what you want. But if keeping the car for a long time, probably the year old with lots of options. You especially need the panoramic satnav because the one with the small screen just looks cheap and nasty. Avoid wheels more than 18".
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
