Perfection

Vehicle

Review

What a great SAV. BMW hit the nail on the head with this one. The only downside to the car is the fuel efficency. Other than that I wouldnt change a thing.

06 X3

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

First let me say how impressed I was with the handling of this SAV. Coming from an M Coupe I was not expecting a vehicle of this size to handle so well. The only problem is the ride is very stiff- making driving on some roads downright painful. The design is excellent, very solid and additional features- bluetoot and MP3 inputs were a plus. And the heated steering wheel- very nice here in NY.

Improvements

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Has some improvements over my '04 X3. Servotronic steering is nice in parking lots, but dampens the road feel somewhat. It seems to wander around. Ride is much softer than '04, so it feels like it leans a bit more on corners, but still holds the road. Too many people complained that it drove like a BMW, I guess. This is supposed to be a sports car, not a Benz. Transmission program is better; smoother shift to 2nd gear. (Auto Trans.) The '04 would sometimes hold on to 1st gear then slam into 2nd. Overall, I love this vehicle and BMW in general.

Over 40?

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my 3rd BMW and I would get it all over again; I love the bluetooh capability since I am on the phone most of the time. Over 40? Well, this guy would make feel 20 again without driving the typical and larger dad's SUV but with big enough cargo space than most SUVs. This guy was built to perform - you will be satisfied.

Overall Great Car

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I went from the 325i to X3 and have overall been pleased. Minor issues are only one cup holder in middle; many come stock with fake leather- it looks terrible and doesn't wear well either. Go for the REAL THING! It does feel more like a sports vehicle than luxury. But, it's fun to drive!

On top as usual

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Well, it's no surprise that the X3 has not let me down. It is, as with every BMW offered, the best in its class. No other SUV can touch the X3 mainly because it's an SAV... there's a huge difference. Homerun! The only other small SUV I'd own is an 07 X3!!

I still love it

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I purchased this car in Germany and have had it up to 120 mph on the autobahn. even at that speed it handled like a dream. it seems to get its best mileage at around 70 mph on the highway. My last vehicle was a Nissan Pathfinder and I thought I would miss the extra space that it provided. I have had no issues with the cargo room with this car, even with two small children.

Great SAV/SUV!!!

Vehicle

2006 BMW X3 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is the best car I've bought so far. I love this car. It is really a luxury car with the capabilities of a sports and utility vehicle but small for easy loading and driving.
