#1 of 3276 2005 BMW X3 by libertycat Apr 27, 2003 (6:32 pm)
Anyone interested in the upcoming BMW X3? It seems like a minature SUV, comparable in size to a Suzuki Vitara or Kia Sportage. It's main competitor would probably be the Land Rover Freelander. Due to its apparent size, I wouldn't consider it.

#3 of 3276 Mini - SUV or Tall Station Wagon by riri23 Jun 06, 2003 (8:17 am)
I have seen the spy photos for the new X3 and it looks to me like a tall station wagon (pic. of black model), but the pictures that I think are CG (silver model) look much more attractive and appears more like a small-Ute.   Anyone saw the concept xActivity vehicle in the North American International Show and got a better sense of what it would look like?Also, any ideas on pricing? Freelander range?   Any comments appreciated, riri

Hey, I got my first look at the X3 today. BMW has released some teaser material and it looks good. It's a dead ringer for the the xActivity concept except with a roof and all. It's not as tall as the X5, but more of a pumped up wagon as the spy photos show.
#5 of 3276 Real Pictures by x3lrvr Jun 17, 2003 (6:46 pm)
I went on the BMW USA website , and they have actual pictures of the x3 (European Version ) but it looks great . I currently own a Nissan Pathfinder (2001) and I do believe that Nissan makes a good product , but look out when you are trying to get something fixed , I have been to several dealerships , and i will never buy another Nissan (UNskilled Mechanics everywhere). I bought a 2001 BMW 325 for my wife and i have had no problems . My next SAV will be either an x3 or an x5 .
#6 of 3276 Chris Bangle does it again! by raychuang00 Jun 20, 2003 (7:30 am)
I'm not impressed with the design of the new X3.   It reminds me too much of small SUV that was designed for Hyundai or Kia.   At the rate Bangle is going I'm NOT looking forward to the next-generation 3-series and 1-series cars due in a couple of years.
#7 of 3276 X3 photos by kennrs Jun 20, 2003 (9:37 pm)
There are a lot of official X3 photos at:   http://galleries.wheels24.co.za/cars/bmw/x3/   I had thought the X3 was going to have iDrive, but there's no evidence of it in the photos. There's no fixed screen for it, only a pop-up navigation screen, which doesn't appear in all the photos. The switchgear layout looks about the same as in the current 3-series (although a display is missing from the audio unit). Hope this turns out to be the case.
#8 of 3276 I like what I see so far by riri23 Jun 24, 2003 (6:39 pm)
Some people will like it, others will not; so far I like what I see. Just want to know the pricing for US?   Riri

#10 of 3276 whoa momma by shoafilator Jul 03, 2003 (4:47 pm)
Though I'm not one to drool over SUVs, the x3, quite probably, will become my favorite SUV. An x3 3.0 with a 6 speed would be not only more fun to drive, but also more utilitarian than the other vehicles in its class. If it continues in the ruggedness of the x5, it will be a much better performer off road than the Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute(the only REAL off-roading small SUV). Also, as long as the body lean isn't awful, this'll be great to take on those country back roads. God, I hope it has that sweet Bimmer exhaust note. If the price is right, and it's safe, it'll be my #1.
