nice for an suv
I traded a 3 series for this car and the extra space is great. I miss the handling of my 3 series but I like the compact nature of this SUV. Highly rec not getting the sport package as it is way too stiff. I also feel that this car, even with the 3.0, is not as powerful as it should be. We are a BMW family and it is hard to be fair comparing it to a sedan, but it is great for our growing family. I also like my installed DVD's in the headrests.
Another BMW Winner
We moved from a 3-Series to the X3 and really didn't miss a beat. The functionality of the X3 was the biggest reason for us: hauling kids, dogs, hockey gear, ski and snow boards, groceries, etc. I miss the ride and better grade materials from the 3-Series however and plan to order the new 325xi and give the X3 to my husband! BMWs surpass all other cars we've owned with exceptional service, reliability, safety and incredible handling and braking. The one thing I'd change about the X3 is the low hps in the engines. With all the competition out there, surely BMW recognizes the need to boost the power without boosting the cost. It shouldn't cost an extra $6K to get the 3.0.

BMW Makes it happen !
What happens when you want a sports car but need an SUV ? Why you get a BMW of course! But why? While its true that one cost more then some other models in the same class you'll truly get what you pay for. The fit, finish and feel of this SUV along with its power and handling make it a car you'll love to drive day in and day out. It's reliablity has been excellent and I look forward to many years of great service.
Stiff Ride
very stiff ride without sport package. I wonder if the tires make a difference. Mine has Michelins.
ALL GOOD
The X3 drives like a car instead of a truck. I have the 2.5 liter and it is sufficient for the type of vehicle that it is. The quality is exceptional. BMW's are some of the best built cars in the world and this vehicle reflects that.
