Review
I've owned Porsche, several SUVs,, Chevys, Jeep, Subaru. Looked at the Beamer cause I loved my BMW K100 motorcycle. Since it is a little pricey, (not overpriced) looked at company cars with less than 9k miles. Also drove Mercedes, Lexus, Audi Toyota etc. Wanted performance AND 4X versatility. Got both in spades. Handles better than some sports cars. Heated leather seats and all the bells and whistles you could hope for.

The X3 is an excellent compromise between perfomance and utility. I never feel as though I am driving a truck, yet when required, she will haul kids, boats, dogs, and the occational load of straw. I fit 6 bails of straw with the rear door closed easily. No need to worry about keeping it clean because it's a truck. Actually the quality materials allow for quick and easiy clean-up. This vehical is top notch and as motivated me to trade-in my MB c-class for the new 3 series.

We had a MB C230 coupe & loved it so much for a hatchback cargo space, the ride & of course the panoramic roof except rear wheel drive in snowy winter...It was time to change & get a BMW X3, more cargo space & more secure in winter driving. It's so grip on snow & no problem of getting out of driveway with fresh snow. It corners better than a car but a little bumpy on aged asphalt, which I think it's due to low profile tires.

The X3 is so much fun to drive! It handles like a sports car. It's quiet at highway speeds. Great brakes! It has a fantastic sunroof that extends to the rear seats that brings extra light into the vehicle, as well as a sense of added interior space. The xDrive works great on wet and snowy roads. The automatic transmission with the 5-speed Steptronic shifter is really fun on a twisty road. The 2.5 liter six cylinder engine provides the X3 with plenty of power. The leather seats are supportive and very comfortable. For someone who does not like monster sized SUV's, but likes great comfort, safety and AWD performance, the X3 is the perfect vehicle for any road.

Well I got this car in June, for my
16th birthday. i liked the X5 but my
parents thought it was too big so I
got this. When I saw it online I was
thinking wow, with these options and
5,000.00 more you could have an
Escalade. Well the dealers incentives
are pretty good so then I got the car.
It is black with grey leather and has
the Sport pckg., Prem pckg., Prem.
Snd, xenon lights, cold weather
package, and steptronic plus
navigation. WOW I am so impressed. It
has adequate power for what I need and
feels very safe. It takes corners 50-
55mph like a dime. It seems small on
the outside but the inside is great.
Spending the summer in this car was
awesome! we just had a winter snow
storm, was great

I owened a BMW 325 ci before I got my
X3. I never thought I would be getting
into a SUV, at least not for a while.
Although, this car is incredible. It
does everything you ask it to do, and
then some!! The handling on the car is
superb! I would even say better than my
previous sportpackage coupe. Also,
another plus is it's enormous moonroof.
A must have!!! The car is so great
that my mom and sister had to get one.

Great lively car to drive. It has lots
of features but that makes the car a bit
too expensive. Car looks smaller than
it actually is, which for some people
may be a disadvantage. Very easy to
drive and handles more like a sportscar
than a SUV. BMW calls it a SAV for that
reason I suppose.

Okay, it was time to dump my great 2000
SAAB 9/5 loaded wagon before the
warranty ran out. I looked all summer
at Jeep, Suburu and Mazda 6 deals and
then saw the sign and drive ad for the
X3. The dealership had a black on black
"basic" X3 and with one test drive, I
reached for my wallet. What a great
vehicle. It handles like a sports car,
gets great mileage and I don't miss
the "loaded" features I was used to.
The six speed is awesome and of course,
the "six" has no turbo, thus no "lag".
The only strange thing is not to have
cruise control as standard equipment.
My buddy says I'll be paying for that
.....in fines. It is very smooth and
quiet at high speeds.

We have owned various Jeep Grand
Cherokees, and the Lexus RX 300. By
far, the BMW is the superior car. I
have no idea what reviewers are talking
about- we got ours for the low 30's,
not the mid 40's, and love the vehicle.
We specifically got it with just black
interior- no silly wood, very
teutonic, and love it. The ride is
superb, stiff- not like a caddy,
fortunately... It is undeniably the
best SUV on the road for us. To test
drive one is to love one.

The X3 is a great SUV for people that
want the SUV flexibility but a car-like
ride. The X3 is very roomy altough it
does not look like a behemoth on the
road (like the new SUVs from Nissan,
Cadillac, etc.) The external style is
very sport but elegant at the same time.
Interior finish is high quality. The
ride may feel a bt stiff on very bumpy
roads, but when you ride on winding
roads or on the highway you can really
enjoy the sporty ride. BMW aced this
car. I used to drive an X5 and, although
the X5 is more luxurios, the X3 has
nothing to envy at all to the X5
(interior room is better in the X3, in
particular in the back seats.
