  2004 BMW X3 3.0 - 2004 BMW X3
  By kti1 - February 26 - 7:18 pm

  This car is amazing! The awd makes it simply impossible to loose control in the rain, the steering is a blast. The 3.0 has plenty of power and gets great gas mileage for an AWD SAV. 6 cd changer, panoramic roof, heated seats, leather, steering controls, navigation, the incredible amount of air bags that are standard! Everyone complaining about the expense is moronic, youre driving a bmw, not a toyota or honda. So far all i had to do was a couple of hoses, tires ect. You do pay more than a rav4 or crv, but then again theres a reason you bought this car! Currently at 134k miles and still drives like new! Driving this baby into the ground

  Fun little SUV - 2004 BMW X3
  By kaileak - October 24 - 6:39 pm

  This is my second BMW, i also own a 2008 BMW 128i. When i first drove the X3, being that it is now 8 years old, i expected it to not be very tight. I expexted a little bit of slop in the suspension, leaks, breaking that wasnt as good as it once was. Boy was i surprised, this X3 handles like my 128i and still has a nice stiff ride.

  Best Sport Utility Vehicle Ever Made - 2004 BMW X3
  By MH - July 9 - 9:25 pm

  The old (2004) BMW X3 has the best road feel of any car I have ever driven, that includes, BMW 528, 525i, 540i, 740 iL, GMC Yukon, Jeeps, Cadillac CTS. The X3 is a great car. One feels the tightness of the four wheel drive under all conditions. Do not believe those who criticize the steering and handling of this car, they are off base. The gas mileage is outstanding for continuous four wheel drive.

  BMW X-3, 2.5 - 2004 BMW X3
  By Montgomery - August 12 - 10:00 am

  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 wont be my last.

  Its a NICE RIDE! - 2004 BMW X3
  By Kyle G. - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I love it, personally. It drives like a car, but has the four-wheel drive capabilities of an SUV. Yes, they say it doesnt 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.

  Bimmer Family - 2004 BMW X3
  By Bimmer Family - July 28 - 8:10 pm

  My husband bought this car for me for X-mas. I have been driving it for a couple years now and we are very pleased. We have made several long trips in it, in sun, rain and snow and had no problems. We have the six speed manual and the only thing I dont like is that its so slow in 1st gear, but once into 2nd, its very zippy and handles great. Even though the gas mileage could be better, we average 22-23 mpgs which I think is great for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The navigation system is great! It always projects correct travel times.

  My BMW - 2004 BMW X3
  By BigHipsSoftLips - February 22 - 10:00 am

  Great car....not too high off the ground, passengers fit comfortably in back seat, back doors open wide enough for my big dog to get in comfortably. The "extras" make the car worthwhile.

  One of the Best - 2004 BMW X3
  By Ob - February 19 - 6:49 pm

  This is a wonderful vehicle. Had good experience with Highlander and Lexus RX300. X3 is different animal, performance and handling is awesome no comparison. Ive put 60k miles on it with no issues at all. Drove X3 from Virginia to Jersey in heavy rain and absolutely loved the handling and performance. Drove Highlander and Lexus in heavy rain from DC to Jersey. X3 made highlander and Lexus look like a puppy. Ill keep X3 till it dies. I put my life on my cars and get my car maintained by authorized dealerships.Its maintenance cost over all per annum is almost same as Highlander and Lexus. In fact I ended up paying more for the Highlander and Lexus cause I put more miles.
