BMW X3

[raven6mt]

I just saw my first BMW X3 this morning and thought it was a pretty nice looking vehicle and probably the only SUV (other than the FX45, much more expensive) that I would want. It is smaller and I like smaller vehicles, but I also noticed that you can get it with the 3.0L engine and six-speed manual...that sounds very fun to me. Anyone have any driving experience with these?

For the price and look the FX45 is still hard to beat IMO.

I'm not the biggest fan of the styling but I love the BMW inline6 engine and with a 6-speed manual .... very tempting

Ru I gotta agree with u...the bmw inline6 is lovely. [] As for the X3 I don't like the look...the hood to windshield curve isn't very appealing...I like the X5 more.

I enjoy both the X3 and the X5. I like the styling more than the FX vehicles. The inline6 that BMW produces is a gem. I've driven the X3 a few times, and it drives pretty well. It's sporty, and it has that BMW feel. Good luck with your choice!
