Compared to my last car, Freelander HSE, the X3 is a dream. A quiet ride for the most part. A few distant squeaks associated with the panaromic moonroof. The cargo area is a good size for a small SUV.

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.

It's a NICE RIDE!

I love it, personally. It drives like a car, but has the four-wheel drive capabilities of an SUV. Yes, they say it doesn't do too well in off-roading, but I am not about to hit any desert dunes any time soon. The sound system is also incredible, it comes standard with 10 speakers. The peppy engine, comfortable leather seats, and the awesome sound system make for an incredible driving experience. Highly recommend it.

BMW X-3, 2.5

the X3 is a dream to drive. More like a sports car than a "truck." Plenty of power, 6-gears and lots of features. The full time 4-wheel drive gives a real feeling of holding the road in all conditions. I live (and drive) in Germany and the X3 is great on all roads, autobahn or winding back paths. My 5th BMW but first SAV. It won't be my last.

Is the X3 just a smaller X5?

The X3's performance is outstanding as you would expect from any BMW; however, the interior quality and materials are definitely sub-par for a BMW and come nowhere near matching the X5's much nicer and more expensive interior. Overall, I feel like the car isn't as solid as an X5 (the doors are lighter, it also feels much lighter when you drive it), although it handles very well. For $48,000 fully equipped, you should definitely get more quality for your money, but it is a good vehicle.
