  great road handler - 2004 BMW X3
  By autofan - January 17 - 1:54 am

  This is a great car, it accelerates quickly enough and it follows your intentions effortlessly and its overall dimensions are excellent, it is neither too small nor too big for driving around town or on the freeways. The roof skylight is just awesome because it lets lots of sun in. It is a pleasure to drive.

  no regrets - 2004 BMW X3
  By bluecoyote - December 30 - 8:00 am

  ive been driving it for 1 and 1/2, and like it so much will likely buy it when lease is up. had an initial problem right after delivery - rattling windows. Dealer took care of it, no problems since. I have the faux leather interior which is awesome for my big dogs. Wish the trunk was little roomier and wish they had offered satellite radio at the time of purchase, but otherwise, its great. Good gas mileage too. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of a crossover vehicle.

  The 2.5 Manual Has Enough Power - 2004 BMW X3
  By H. Jones - December 29 - 6:01 pm

  The 25 liter 6 speed manual trans. offers gear ratios which are correct for the nenine. I get 20 mpg around town and 27-28 mpg on the road. I have heard complaints about the power. I live in the Rocky Mountains and have not trouble with power as well as no trouble with passing. Perhaps, drivers dont like the managing the power with a manual transmission. It takes deep snow well and will do a good job in mud (we have both). I replaced the original tires at 20,00 miles with Kelly Navigators good tires! The only problem I have had is the seat cover on the drivers side cracking. It handles so well I think many sedans would be poor by comparison.

  Closest SUV/Sports Car out there - 2004 BMW X3
  By vsroman - December 28 - 5:32 pm

  After 25,000 miles and almost two years this SAV is a very reliable vehicle. It really took a full year for me to really appreciate it. It is a sporty summer fun vehicle with the big sunroof and rips through the ice/snow with ease in the winter. If you dont want two vehicles this is a great compromise. It drives almost as sporty as a 3- series and is awesome in the snow. Add the extra utility and it is truly a winner. And pretty decent gas mileage too. I routinely get 21 mpg and drive fairly hard on the gas pedal.

  Great Car - 2004 BMW X3
  By baddog123 - December 3 - 10:00 am

  Overall, love the vehicle. The safety features are incredible. After driving a Jeep cherokee with nothing for safety this is great. Weird quirk-cant open the rear hatch from inside car; must use key. The xenon lights are amazing and truly increase visibility at nite. The dash area wouldnt win any beauty contests, its a bit rustic.

  X3 X-cellent - 2004 BMW X3
  By Rtuchol2 - December 3 - 10:00 am

  Just purchased the X3, and couldnt be more pleased. I believe that BMW may have some future design changes, but the ultimate perk to the X3 or any BMW is the service plan. You may pay the higher price, and compromise the luxury, but you wont have to do a thing for the life of the car. BMW takes good care of its owners.

  X3 could be better - 2004 BMW X3
  By RussoX3 - November 28 - 5:27 pm

  With 18k miles, this car rattles from a few areas, and there is a water leak soaking the back seat floor. Car handles great and is fun to drive - the 6 speed helps! Overall car is comfortable and handles like a BMW. Quality of materials is a problem.

  The New X-3 - 2004 BMW X3
  By oscar maren - October 27 - 10:00 am

  We have been driving this new automobile for a month now and it is a superb SAV! The only negative comment I can make is the GPS Map is located on top of the dash board and in bright sunlight it is not very visable. If this could be located lower on the dash board it would be much better. Other than that it is a fun car to drive and is an eye opener to look at! BMW should be proud of this auto.

  Great Car!! - 2004 BMW X3
  By mtcpe - October 21 - 10:00 am

  My friend has a 2002 330 ci convertable, and after driving my new X3 asked if the dealer had any more outfitted the same! (I had to pry him out of the drivers seat. Love the performance and features. Much nicer size and performance than X5, retains the 3.0 liter 3 series performance. Easy to forget its a SUV when driving. Great $$program thru BMW financial.
