  • Day One - 2004 BMW X3
    By -

    Picked up the X3 today after not being able to get together with the VW Dealer on a Toureg. More money than the VW but I think I will really like the choice. Tested the X5 also. The X3 seemed as comfortable...felt a little lighter... and more nimble. Feels more agile than the Toureg. Opted for Met. Black w/ 6speed manual. FUN!! Quality seems great, fit and finish perfect, milage shows about 21.5. Clutch is touchier than my Jetta TDI but am getting used to it. The 3.0 doesnt seem as quick as my wifes A4 with the 1.8 turbo. Im sure after it loosens up it will be quicker. Corners, stops, accelerates on packed snow flawlessly. So far am lovin it.

  • Wheres the cream filling? - 2004 BMW X3

    Strongly built vehicle with nice exterior design. Great acceleration in first but lags in higher gears (with automatic)and the engine is loud. Interior is downright chintzy (except for the sport seats). Visability is excellent. Holds the road exceptionally well. Nice cargo space and rear seats fold down flat and easily.

    If you like the X5, but cant afford it, look at this. The X3 has the looks of the X5, and the pricetag of the 325i. Right now, Im 13 years old. My dad bought one and he loves it! He has to drive about 60 miles a day and its gas mileage is good for a car that size (Im a car fanatic). If you havent driven one yet, do PLEASE!

  • The X3 Better Than Expected - 2004 BMW X3
    By -

    The handling, fuel economy, build quality, transmission, 2.5 liter engine are terrific. This is a great machine! The negative review items are not evident in my X3.

    This is a superb car-like SUV. It handles like a 5 series auto, but has the advantages of an SUV.

  • Typical 1st year Bimmer - 2004 BMW X3
    By -

    BMW tends to use the 1st model year out as a beta tester, and the X3 seems no different. Im 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.

  • Much more fun than X5! - 2004 BMW X3
    By -

    This vehicle feels roomier than the first generation of X5s, has a better sunroof, and its definitely got a nice price. The drive is beyond amazing and there are no blind spots whatsoever. My only issue is that at low speeds, the entire vehicle creaks whenever I make a turn. Maybe its an SUV/4WD thing. After 6 great years with Audi, it was tough to leave, but they are currently lacking an SUV in their line-up. I love my X3-what a great introduction to BMW!

  • WHAT A CAR! - 2004 BMW X3
    By -

    Today, I bought a BMW 2.5i. The best choice I ever made. What a great car to keep my kid, and my wife safe on the road. It grips the road like the tires are glued to the pavement. Its very good.
