Overview & Reviews

Four years after its introduction, BMW's smaller "Sports Activity Vehicle" (a crossover SUV by most definitions) undergoes its first significant updating. The lineup has been simplified to a single model called the "X3 3.0si" equipped with the latest generation of BMW's 3.0-liter, inline six-cylinder engine. In this application, it makes 260 horsepower. BMW has also revised the front and rear exterior styling; introduced new wheel designs; and tweaked the interior with a new three-spoke steering wheel, a new hood over the instrumentation and revised leather and plastic materials. Beyond all that, the stability control system now incorporates "Brake Fade Compensation," "Brake Drying" and "Start-off Assistant" technologies.

• Quick reflexes, brilliant steering, outstanding power delivery, undeniable quality, good cargo capacity for its size.

• Relatively stiff ride, priced higher than most competitors.

  BMW Cut Some Interior Corners - 2007 BMW X3
  By Cathy Tulman - March 4 - 8:23 pm

  Time to downsize from Lincoln Aviator. 07 X3 is perfect size and 1/3 less to fill gas tank. Fun to drive, agile, smooth and quick. Interior disappointing. Have an 07 BMW 328xi and expected equivalent interior comfort features on X3 but BMW did not provide them: (1) heat/AC system is not dual, has no vent in rear seat, and no heat circulation when engine off (2) leather/comfort of sport seats inferior to 3 series (3) radio Bluetooth features are limited compared to 3 series (4) heated seats weak. The iPod add-on connection is awful - cant hook-up while driving, shows "Track #" not song name, cord too short, takes glove compartment space - use standard auxiliary. Park assist feature annoying.

  Again - 2007 BMW X3
  By DVL - February 25 - 7:02 am

  Ive just changed my 2005 X3 for a new one. The 2007 feels more comfortable, cleaner in style and a bit more powerful. Same old leatherette in the seats, but a sturdy more easy to manage leather steering wheel. Lets put it this way: a nicer a gentler car!

  Utility Sportscar - 2007 BMW X3
  By jy - February 15 - 2:25 pm

  I bought this for my wife who is very difficult to please and was coming out of a 5 series wagon. This vehicle does everything well and even she is impressed. Most vehicles that are this much fun to drive are not at all practical, but this vehicle does it all. Everything about it is top quality. If you drive it, you will want to buy it. Dont bother with the sports package. The standard seats are more comfortable, and the standard front facia is much better looking.

  Very beautiful car on the outside. Gets pricey as you add on the options. Competitors offer more features.

  Great Vehicle, Great Price - 2007 BMW X3
  By Bonnie Crone - February 10 - 6:38 pm

  I have owned my X3 now for several months. The performance is truly unbelievable!I traded in my 2000 ML320 only because the upkeep was becoming more than I was willing to pay. I am so glad I did, this is a much nicer vehicle at a better price. Almost ten thousand dollars less.

  Try it, youll like it! - 2007 BMW X3
  By Very Pleased - February 1 - 10:11 am

  This one has it all, styling, handling, utility, safety and everything you would expect from BMW. I thought it was too overpriced until I drove it. It is but it is such a wonderful vehicle I thought I would give it a try and was amazed at the lease payments because the residual value is so high. I dont think you could find a better small SUV or SAV, as BMW dubs it. I love the size, its agile and offers utility. Its definitely a sport ute!

  First BMW after One Week - 2007 BMW X3
  By Sean - January 31 - 5:28 pm

  Just bought this X3 last Saturday. It was a great experience driving it since this is the first BMW we own. The exterior and performance are perfect. The interior could be improved. We may know it more after we drive it more. Not so sure now about reliability and fuel economy.

  Great vehicle - 2007 BMW X3
  By Sandi - January 21 - 10:49 am

  I just purchased this vehicle less than a week ago and I love it. It drives great and no comparison from my last vehicle 2003 xterra. The power is excellent and so far gas is good. This vehicle I can handle having for a very very long time.

  It is truly sporty with utility. - 2007 BMW X3
  By Frank - January 19 - 2:08 pm

  Its hard to find fault with this one. Its stylish, has unique bells and whistles and performs while providing utility and comfort. BMW truly is the ultimate driving experience. It far surpasses the Mercedes sports sedan I traded for it. The only other vehicle Ive owned that compares to it is the BMW 5 series I once had.

  Another great BMW - 2007 BMW X3
  By Ron - January 1 - 12:33 pm

  I just got this vehicle a week ago and I have to say it is amazing. I got it fully loaded with everything except the sport package. The interior and exterior quality is the best!
