The BMW X3 is a sports utility vehicle SUV 4x4 or Sports Activity Vehicle as BMW has described it. Basically the USP of this vehicle is its style and flexibility and BMW aimed it to appeal at younger drivers in the sector as well as more women drivers. Its similar in size to a Land Rover or a Jeep Cherokee and this Mid size SUV is a more compact version of its forerunner the X5. The X3 continues the X5s mix of off-road capability but with bigger emphasis on sports touring capability but in a smaller package. On launch in 2004 the X3s engine line-up was fairly limited with a 2.0-petrol, launched in 2005, as the smallest and most affordable. The range has expanded considerably since with 3.0-litre versions offering up to 280bhp. There are also diesel versions up to 3.0-litre with 215bhp. These more powerful up to date versions are the ones to seek out. They are more enduring and provide better economy. Post 2005 updates also included goodies such as digital TV and MP3 compatibility. The 2006 updated offered even greater choice with the arrival for the first time a diesel engine at the top of the range in the new BMW X3, the 3.0-litre straight six with Variable Twin Turbo technology BMW X3 3.0sd, developing a superior 210 kW/286 hp. Again 2007 updates have extended the range receiving BMWs EfficientDynamics technology and improvements in overall performance.

If you want a cross between a family car and sports car, the BMW X3 M Sport is it, the grip is great and safety and reliability from BMW is 10/10. Looks are very cool, the Sept 07 model has a new engine and its faster, better on fuel (MPG 43), is in a lower tax band and better top end. All in all a great all ...

The new 2007 September models are updated inside and out,a great mid range 4x4 with great grip in all conditions, if you're looking for a top safety vehicle with 100% reliability and great looks, go for a test drive you will be pleased. I tried 4 other vehicles in this size and price and the X3 come out in my view on top. The review is based on my new X3 with my own opinions and ...

The power plant in the BMW X3 gives you the option to drive out of trouble if needed.
Vehicle very quiet all for 35 MPG.
Comfortable supportive seats (good for back sufferers)
Manual gearbox not pleasant - opt for Auto Box (£1.5K
Default "Sports Suspension" is far too harsh for other than dedicated Alton Towers.
Opt for the "Delete Sports Suspension" but be aware this means buying the active anti-roll bar package (£1.5K) and hope it does not crash at 3 ...

A solid reliable car which is a good crossover between Estate cars and the larger 4x4s. It performs well and is surprisingly sporty for a heavier vehicle. Provides lot of grunt low down. Avoid Sports Suspension at all costs. This car has low profile run flat tyres and the ride quality with the firmer sports suspension is a quickfire way to see the Physio. We opted for the sports model and had the sports suspension left out. A wise choice. There are a few refinements BMW oddly overlooked. ...
