2004 BMW X3

The X3 powertrain is similar to those in 3 Series sedans and wagons.  The 2.5-liter inline-six-cylinder engine produces 184 horsepower and has a five-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.

Placing the front drive shaft so that it extends through the oil sump is intended to give the X3 a low center of gravity and minimize body roll, which it does very well.

New xDrive “intelligent” all-wheel drive permits the infinitely adjustable, fully variable distribution of torque from front to rear.

Up to 100 percent of engine torque can go to either axle, as needed. BMW claims that the system will send optimum drive forces to each axle when cornering, which minimizes both understeer and over steer. Dynamic Stability Control is installed to help stabilize the vehicle in difficult situations.

Hill Descent Control helps when driving down hills even if the ground is loose or slippery. The X3’s styling is similar to that of the X5, but on a smaller scale. BMW advises that it combines both classic and new design features in a modern vehicle that sports interacting concave and convex surfaces for a youthful and fresh appearance.

Design cues include a new interpretation of the classic Hofmeister kink in the rear side windows and a fresh version of BMW’s twin kidney grille. BMW says the X3’s short overhangs; short wheelbase, flared wheel arches and sloping roofline accent its dynamic character.

It is described as having a “youthful, sporty ambience” in the cockpit, which features analog gauges grouped in the familiar style of the German automaker.

Side-impact airbags are standard for the front occupants. BMW’s Head Protection System protects occupants in the front and rear. Dynamic Stability Control includes traction control with engine and brake intervention.

The X3’s smoothness is its No. 1 attribute when you drive this vehicle. It performs with grace and ease in about every way.
