BMW X3 Overview

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a new six-speed automatic with Steptronic is a no-charge option. The X3 3.0si is stuffed with standard equipment. Cockpit amenities include Sensatec leatherette upholstery; Panorama glass moonroof with fully automatic, two-piece glass panels; rain-sensing windshield wipers with automatic headlight control; and flat tire warning system. The xDrive, Dynamic Stability Control and Hill Descent Control combine to offer excellent handling, grip, traction, stability on gravel roads, muddy two-tracks and snow-covered backroads.

For 2007, the BMW X3 comes in one model, the new 3.0si. Replacing last year's 225-hp 3.0-liter inline-6 is a totally new 260-hp 3.0-liter inline-6.
