I definitely dig the '07 X3 3.0 si. What's with the "s" now? They've got it on the Z4 and now the X3.

This forum is so quite  Information copile directly from BMW of North America Explanation of the Name Change The X3 3.0si will replace the X3 3.0i. The "s' is meant to differentiate the new more powerful engine from the X3 3.0i model it replaces. It also differentiates it from the X3 3.0i that will replace the X3 2.5i in markets outside the US. The US will continue with a single model startegy that was implemented for MY2006, by only offereing the X3 3.0si. ( The naming strategy is also consistent with the Z4.) Start of Production August 2006 SOP

| I looking at buying one of these vehicles. I previously owned a 1998 RAV4 and liked it size, ride, steering and reliability alot. Negatives for me were underpowered and cheap stereo/speakers. I would like something similiar, but with more power and a better sound system. The new X3 and RAV4 V6 seem like similar vehicles to me, but with the RAV4 being a more practical choice and the X3 a more upscale choice. I've never owned a Bimmer before and was wondering if a if anyone has familiarity with these vehicles and a knowledgeable opinion on whether the X3 is worth the approx. 50% price difference ($30K v. $45K)? Also, has the gas mileage figures for the new X3 been released yet? Thanks. | |

Replying to: wmdavis1 (Jul 21, 2006 3:49 pm) These guys and gals are the owners of X3's and most seem pretty happy. The RAV4 looks like a very nice vehicle and toyota products are exellent. How long will you keep the vehicle? Leases can work out great on BMW's! 4 years included maintenence on the BMW. In the long run, the X will cost you more but its percieved value. If you like it, and can afford it and WANT to spend for it, then your answer is it. I think the X3 is a great value for the money!
