Smaller than the X5 but with similar styling cues, the 2010 BMW X3 is available in a single trim — the XDrive30i — which is powered by a 260-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-6 engine mated to either a six-speed automatic transmission with auto-manual shift or a six-speed manual. EPA estimated fuel economy ratings are 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
Rivaling the Acura RDX, Infiniti EX35 and Land Rover LR2 in the luxury SUV segment, only minor adjustments have been made for 2010, including adding HD radio as a standard feature and removing the panoramic moonroof from the standard features list. The X3 rests atop standard 17-inch wheels with available 18- and 19-inch wheels. Roof rails are also standard, while running boards and adaptive bi-xenon headlights that turn in the direction you steer are available options.
Inside, the 2010 BMW X3 is adorned in simulated — or optional real — leather upholstery with heated front seats, and sits up to five occupants. Standard features include a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, an eight-speaker AM/FM stereo system with a CD player and MP3 capability, rain-sensing windshield wipers and 60/40-split folding rear seats that offer more cargo-carrying opportunities. Hardware includes an optional navigation system and BMW’s iDrive, which utilizes an LCD screen and console-mounted dial to control audio, climate and communication functions.
BMW’s Head Protection System includes side curtain airbags and is designed to protect front and rear occupants. Additional standard safety technologies include an electronic stability system, adaptive brake lights, hill descent control and brake fade compensation.
Smaller than its big brother the X5, the 2010 BMW X3 offers a wealth of amenities, classic BMW sophistication and a compact size that will surely be a big hit.

"...This was my first time buying a new car, and I really didn't know where to start. I used your site to get quotes from dealers near me and compared them to the Market Price. Then, I used the knowledge I got from reading your Secrets book to make sure I didn't pay more than I should. It was so easy! I love my new car!" -Sonya S. |
