Review
This is my third bimmer and it is no
wonder why I'm hooked! My biggest fear
when leaving the convertible behind was
the lack of open wind/sun when
driving...NO worries! The X3 sun roof
is so sweet. Got cooked yesterday
driving along beach roads. This engine
is the same that powered my 01-Z3 and
it is no less impressive in the X3. I
highly recommend this vehicle to 30-
somethings looking for more utility,
superior performance, and the
convertible, open-air lifestyle.

Today, I bought a BMW 2.5i. The best
choice I ever made. What a great car to
keep my kid, and my wife safe on the
road. It grips the road like the tires
are glued to the pavement. It's very
good.

I traded in a great car for the X-3
(Honda CRV, EX, Automatic) and got a
better car. Look anywhere, try any
control, try nearly anything with this
fine automobile and you'll be thrilled
at it's quality and performance.

Strongly built vehicle with nice
exterior design. Great acceleration in
first but lags in higher gears (with
automatic)and the engine is loud.
Interior is downright chintzy (except
for the sport seats). Visability is
excellent. Holds the road
exceptionally well. Nice cargo space
and rear seats fold down flat and
easily.

Non compared to the interior room and
fun driving ability. This little SUV

I love my first BMW - X3. It is
incomparable. The handling is super!!
the best!!! I traded my old RX300 and
drove the new RX330:the drive are the
same. The new RX330 had some minor
detail enhancement and that's all. I
was not impress at all and to think
that I've worked at Toyota in Torrance
for more than 6 months. I know fully
well that after owning the RX300 for 5
years which that the X3 is really
different. The fuel consumption are
about the same with my old car, but of
course I've been driving the
freeways.

It's the best mini SUV you can find.
Every peny is worth the spend. Drives
like a 325 with lots of room in the
back.

Test drove and compared MDX, ML 350,
X3 and RX330, had high hopes for the
X3, but is very disappointed. X3 is
overrated, and disappointing in
everyway except it is a BMW, has a
good engine and is fun to drive. But
the ride, forget about it. We are not
racing everyday, we need a SUV
attentive to our everyday needs, plus
the options will eat you alive, about
$46,000 for mine. So leave the option
box unchecked! For close to $50,000,
one could find much better cars. The
style is OK, but the inside is cold
and cheap looking.

Went from a 325 to the X3 and boy am I
disappointed. The ride is atrocious -
I could have saved myself the money
and bought a Ford Explorer. It
bounces around the street so much that
I don't feel in control at all - and
that sense
of control is what BMW is supposed to
be about. It rattles all over and the
interior design is not consistent with
a $40+ vehicle. It shows no
originality (unless you count rain
sensing wipers!) - seems to be just a
hodge podge of the 3 series and an X5
and it doesn't work! BMW should be
ashamed of this one.
