  What a wonderful SAV by BMW - 2008 BMW X3
  By BMW4Life - November 8 - 6:56 pm

  Just got our 2008 X3 two weeks ago with all options except servotronic. Its been wonderful so far. We have the alpine white with sports performance package which comes with 19" wheels. This is a must have if you want the best looking X3 out there, it looks so much better than the rest. The color coded aero kit makes this car look even better (no more black bumpers/moldings. It drives like my 540 and it also has the cargo space to haul our weekend gears. We have two kids and my wife can sit between the two car seats for our two our trip last weekend, and shes 58", it is almost the same size as our 01 X5, but it is much quicker because its 800 lbs lighter and it is also fuel efficient

  One great small SAV - 2008 BMW X3
  By BMW4Life - November 8 - 3:44 pm

  Got my 08 X3 two weeks ago, have all options except servotronic steering, sports performance package is a must, the 19" wheels look so much better than the rest. Alpine white exterior is the best color choice by far. Automatic headlights is cool. It drives like my 540, but with enough cargo to haul our weekend gears. We have two kids and my wife can still sit in the middle between the two car-seats for a two hour drive. It is almost the same size as my 01 X5, only quicker and more fuel efficient.

  Love my X3! - 2008 BMW X3
  By ECS - April 9 - 3:52 am

  I am the second owner of my X3...it is a local car purchased at the BMW dealership and had been serviced there. It now has 95,000 miles on it and I plan to keep for a long time. I have learned that it runs much smoother on 93 octane Shell gasoline. The only issue I have is the tire pressure light is on and numerous people have tried to make it go away with no success...BMW dealership does not recommend spending the money it would cost to clear it. My husband is 62" and he does have difficulty getting in the car but finds it roomy enough once he is in!
