This is an excellent car for someone of any age. It's fun, reasonably priced and a performance vehicle all packed into one. What more could anyone ask for?

This vehicle is a perfect mix of class and sport. After reading Car & Driver's scathing review, I was apprehensive but this car drives great - smooth, comfortable, and intune with the road. 2.5 liters is all you need! BMW has really hit the ground running with this one.

3.0 engine rocks. Much better than 2.4. Not your standard luxury SUV-not bloated or soft. Cat-quick, great handling. Tranny smooth as butter. Interior materials superior. No junk. Tasteful. Sport setting on transmission works best. Seats wonderful. Only SUV my wife (4'11) and I (6'3) can both actually drive comfortably. Leather nubby but I like it. Stiff suspension but only feel it on really rough roads. On the highway it runs like a dream. It's like driving a sedan with a very large trunk. Had no intention of buying a BMW but after driving them all fell in love with it. Deserves a long look and long test drive.

Typical 1st year Bimmer

BMW tends to use the 1st model year out as a beta tester, and the X3 seems no different. I'm not a BMW basher, just someone who had an E36, then an E39, collectively, for 10 years. My suggestion is to wait a year or two, BMW will get the X3 right.

I love everything about this truck. From its tight-handling to its panoramic sun-roof!! It drives like a dream....like a 325 on stilts. This is what separates this sporty SAV from the rest of the SUV pack. The interior is typical BMW - functional and not too flashy. There is enough room for a family of 4 with all their gear. It's not the most spacious, nor the most powerful, nor is it the most brutish SUV on the road. This is the perfect SUV for those who plan to drive (like most of us!) most of the time in the city.
