The Luxurious and Practical BMW X3

The BMW X3 is the second most compact SAV in the X-Series lineup, delivering a stylish statement while providing both elegance and practicality. BMW refers to the X3 as a Sports Activity Vehicle, and this designation fits perfectly, even if most people will just call it an SAV for convenience. The X3 has a rugged design with an upscale feel and flowing lines. Inside, you will find intelligent innovations and a versatile interior. BMW also designed the X3 to perform whenever you need it; in heavy snow or even off-road, without being as concerned about obstacles. There is so much this car has to offer for so many different lifestyles. Come into BMW of Lynchburg and let our friendly staff walk you through all X3 options.

Discover the History of the BMW X3

After seeing how happy drivers were with the X5, BMW introduced the smaller X3 as a 2004 model year in North America. Compared to the X5, the compact X3 was 4 inches shorter overall. It was first offered as a 2.5i or 3.0i, which had a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder with 184 horsepower and a 3-liter 6-cylinder with 225 horsepower, respectively. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system originally came standard, as did heated exterior mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, keyless entry, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The 2.5-liter engine only lasted that one year.

The 2007 BMW X3 saw updates to the exterior styling and an increase in performance on the 3.0i model, which now had 260 horsepower. BMW stuck to minor changes on the X3 for the next few years before adding an xDrive28i model for the 2011 model year and beginning the second generation. This model ran on a 240-horsepower 3-liter naturally aspirated 6-cylinder. There was also an xDrive35i that year with a 300-horsepower 3-liter turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. For 2013, the BMW X3 xDrive28i had a 2-liter twin-turbocharged engine with 240 horsepower and as much as 28 miles per gallon**. The 2014 BMW X3 more closely resembled the current model year, getting BMW TeleService, BMW eCall, and ambient lighting as standard. Dual-zone climate control and packages for Dynamic Handling and Technology have both been added during the current generation, as well.
