BMW X3 - Overview

The BMW X3 debuted in 2003 and got a significant refresh in 2005 that gave it an upgraded interior and softer suspension. The X3 has had only minor changes since then, including the addition of standard active head restraints. It shares a platform with the BMW 3-Series.

The X3 attends to get a good ranking within its small class. It offers a comfortable five-seat interior as well as excellent handling thanks to BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system. However, several test drivers find the suspension too stiff. If you're looking for a sedan-smooth ride or something a bit less expensive, look elsewhere.
