Jan 1, 2004 · We saw 60 mph zing by in 7.4 seconds, a few ticks quicker than a 325xi wagon (0.3 second), and a lot of ticks (0.7 second) quicker than an X5 3.0i. The X3 constructs a quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds ...

BMW has launched a lot of great cars in recent years. The M3, the 330d, the M-Coupe, the 130i and the 535d are all cars that have wormed their way into our affections by dint of their sheer excellence in engineering. BMW aren't always wholly consistent though. For every cracker, there are models that receive rather less rapturous acclaim and to thi...

The X3 certainly got the big build-up. Its path had been paved by the phenomenally successful X5, a vehicle that changed the way we bought big 4x4s. With a track record like that along with the fact that the car was being built in a high-tech factory in Austria and would be launched into a compact 4x4 market in which Audi and Mercedes had no rivals...
The front features a lot of black plastic and the interior never looks or feels quite as 'hewn from solid' as the X5. All things are relative, however, and by the standards of the compact 4x4 class, the X3 is the best there is. That shouldn't be surprising given the prices asked from new. The range opens with the 123bhp 2.0-litre petrol model, then...
The BMW X3 has no known faults although it would be wise to check the underbody, exhaust and suspension for signs of damage from overenthusiastic off-roading. Overenthusiastic on-roading may well have taken its toll on the car too as ground clearance isn't huge. The plastic body cladding is also vulnerable if you are planning to test the X3's off-r...
(approx based on a X3 2.0i) A clutch assembly is around £130. Front brake pads are around £40, a full exhaust about £360, an alternator around £100 and a tyre around £40. A starter motor is about £120. A headlamp is about £165.
BMW have boxed clever in the way the X3 drives. The front suspension has been set up to offer a livelier handling balance and the steering features a snappy ratio that makes jinking from lane to lane simplicity itself in spite of the elevated ride height. The relatively small turning circle of 11.7 metres helps when making three-point turns in tigh...
While there's little doubt that the BMW X3 makes a better used buy than a new one, it wouldn't come top of my personal recommendations list. If you buy into the BMW brand image enough to be prepared to fork out for one, you'll probably be perfectly happy but this sort of money buys some very capable new rivals that come with a full warranty. BMW is...
Jan 13, 2006 · Weighing in at 400 pounds more than the heaviest 3 Series, the X3 still handles beautifully at seven-tenths. The extra weight does make the car feel a little sluggish from a dead stop, but once at ...
