2005 BMW X3    

Looking for something that is really special? This is really nice and it gets a reported 25 miles per gallon on the highway.

2005 is the second year that this smaller version of the X5 is on the market. The 2005 X3 gets upgraded interior materials and finishes, including new aluminum doorsill trim. Audio systems are now MP3-compatible. Externally, the "cut line" from the front wheel wells to the doors have been eliminated.

It gets new chrome-plated vertical grille slats and a standard dual-panel Panorama moonroof. BMW's xDrive "intelligent" all-wheel drive permits fully variable distribution of torque from front to rear. Up to 100 percent of engine torque can go to either axle, as needed. Dynamic Stability Control helps stabilize the vehicle in difficult situations.

Hill Descent Control helps even if the ground is loose or slippery. The X3's styling is similar to that of the X5, but on a slightly smaller scale; the X3 weighs 600 pounds less. BMW promotes the "youthful, sporty ambience" of the five-passenger cockpit, which features familiar analog gauges.

A 3.0-liter inline-six generates 225 hp in the X3 3.0i. with a five-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. Side-impact airbags are standard for front occupants and optional for rear passengers.

Curtain-type bags, which BMW calls its Head Protection System, protect occupants in the front and rear. Dynamic Stability Control includes traction control with engine and brake intervention.

Smoothness is the X3's top attribute. Beyond its all-wheel-drive talents, the X3 is simply enjoyable to drive, performing with grace and ease in nearly every way.

Automatic-transmission operation could hardly be better. It downshifts so masterfully on long upgrades that you don't feel gear changes at all. Even on a gravel washboard road, the X3 rides well. On smoother terrain, the ride becomes nearly blissful.

Nice layout.  Everything at your fingertips.
