2007 BMW X3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I have owned four BMW’s in the past fifteen years. The newer generations are more Lux-O-Boxes then Driving Machine.s My last BMW I got in late 2019. It is a beautiful piece of machinery. That being the most recent generation. But, doesn’t have heart of 2007 X3, I missed that car and my 2008 M-5 the day I sold them. I am looking for the fun, feel and ability to tweak the 3.0 engine to increase power. I can make it my own. I want add that generation X3 SAV to complete my BMW collection. Iwill continue to purchase the new generations of BMW’s as my daily drivers. As well as find unique BMW’s to add to my collection.Mar 24, 2022

Tech connectivity requirements drove me to upgrade to a newer model, but really the 2007 BMW X3 3.0Si is a better, tighter car that is more fun to drive. The drive train is the pinnacle of a perfect naturally aspirated in-line 6 cylinder and a tight 6 speed Triptronic transmission. There is always power. The car is always quick, responsive and accelerating and decelerating. Breaking is solid and vibration free. Comforts are plenty, without being a "fru-fru" car.Apr 02, 2013

This X3 is a pretty amazing little SUV. It has nice power for an SUV, but it's best feature is its handling - I can push through corners and maneuvers that would tear other SUVs I have owned apart. I trust it like little else in that regard. My X3 is somewhat spartan in terms of features, though I do love the heated seats. The panoramic sunroof is unreal - it stretches so far back.Jan 09, 2013

There is no comparison in quality of build and luxury when it comes to BMW. The car literally pampered me every moment I was in it. The heated seats and steering wheel were excellent in the winter and the panoramic sunroof was amazing in the summer. As a performance driven luxury line, the acceleration/braking/handling of the care was top notch and incomparable to other cars of it's class. It would glide over the roads no matter the condition. Build quality aspect was phenomenal. Not one single issue to report. Appearance of the car was beautiful and elegant with a touch of sportiness. Cost of Ownership wasn't an issue really...outside of requiring premium fuel to run on, but at 23.2mpg fuel ups were a good distance between. Maintenance costs were $0, as it still has factory warranty that covers everything from wiper blades to brakes and more. The car was a blast! Though I recently traded it for a truck, as my lifestyle has changed I loved every minute of driving my BMW.Feb 18, 2010

Drives like a sedan! Great road feel, quiet, precise transfer from wheel to road. Quality - no repairs, great sound system, heated steering wheel is an understated feature for sure. Very well appointed all black leather and trip. triptonic transmission is fun to drive. Takes 2 full sized kayaks, 3 full size doge and a whole lot of gear. iPod jack standard and a great addition to be able to bring the entire music collection on road trips. Loads of fun - if you need to pass just push - vooom!Jan 24, 2009

I was looking for an SUV that drove like a sedan, but sat up a bit higher with some decent cargo space. This SUV fits the bill. The SUV has very nice handling with decent power. Flip it into sport mode and it will allow you to run all the way to redline without babying you by shifting early. The interior is typical BMW class with decent frills. I elected to install the iPod adapter, which works so so. You have to program specific playlists and the unit does not display the track information. Kind of lame in my opinion. The bluetooth hookup works well with some phones like the Blackberry 8700C and the Motorola Razr. The Nokia E62 does not work at all with this particular car. Overall I would recommend this SUV to anyone in the market for a smaller SUV. I did look at the RSX, but felt that the interior was rather cheesy. Feb 02, 2007
