2004 BMW X3 Lightning

BMW's X3 compact luxury SUV handles like a sports sedan. Our 2004 X3 3.0i offers a high seating position, all-wheel-drive traction, exemplary performance, solid build quality and the distinctive good looks shoppers in this category are looking for. Indeed, the X3 SUV is a great alternative for sport sedan shoppers who require just a bit more utility in their compact luxury vehicle. The X3's 225-hp, 3.0-liter inline six sends power through a five-speed automatic. Reviewers prefered the Steptronic automatic, which offers a manual shifting mode for all-around ease of operation. BMW gives a 0-60 time of 7.9 with the automatic. A decent response for the size of the unit.
