Ideal car for Canada living
Great experience riding the car, high performance, comfortable, durable, never had major problem with the car in the past 4 years. All wheel drive makes it a great performer for Canadian Winter or any road trip. Back seats can be putdown to load bigger item, ideal for family trip.

Almost perfect
Drives like a sports car but has the capacity of a SUV. What could be better than that? Great ride, about average fuel economy for a vehicle this size.

Ideal West Coast Car for all seasons.
BMW X3 is comfortable easy access/exit for all entries.
Car control feels confident under all conditions.
Economy is dependant of your driving style.
for a 'People' mover it serve well for all - Solo, couple
or for a Family.

Gotta love the X3
The Bmw X3 is a great ride. After driving a Dodge Caravan for a day, my X3 felt like a lil sports car! Problems do happen, and when they do they are pricey! Regardless, I will miss my ride when its gone.

Comfortable and luxurious ride
This car has gone beyond my expectations. It was purchased used for approximately $20000 with about 70,000 KM's on the engine. This is the 2006 X3 3.0L. The car runs extremely smoothly and has ample amounts of power and torque. The cabin is quiet and driving is smooth. Features are luxurious including a panoramic roof and also tiptronic. Exterior looks fabulous and is in perfect condition. Only down side is that the fuel economy is average.

Luxury & Comfort
Drives nice, lots of room for 4. Bought used and have owned for 2 years with 1 minor transmission problem.
Not the greatest mileage but you don't buy an suv for mileage.

2006 BMW X3 3.0i, Panoramic Roof and More
I love this SUV! It is comfortable and beyond reliable. It is safe and also great on Fuel!!! half a tank of gas takes me from Toronto to Windsor! that's 400 KMS. I am not selling my x3 for any specific reason, If I get a good sell then I will sell it and get an X1 as the X1 is my new fav! and if I don't sell my x3 then I would still be as statisfied and more :)

Reliable Winter Car
This car is the most reliable, well built, solid, stable car I have ever owned; even more so than my Honda CRV. It handles very well in all weather and road conditions, but is especially impressive on snow and ice. It is an AWD vehicle, but also has an extra system of getting through the really tough stuff.(snow drifts) The heavier weight of this SUV, makes it a smoother ride than some of the lighter similar vehicles and less prone to wind movement on the highway. The safety features are impressive, but that is a common feature of many German built vehicles.
It has a good interior light package and sound system and the heated seats have three levels of heat comfort controls. However, the interior is fairly basic for a luxury, high end car. I think the manufacturer could have made the interior fancier, but I guess I would rather have the safety features, and give up some of the cosmetics. It is not horrible for gas mileage, but it is not the best either. I think the weight may play a role in that equation.
I think this vehicle is built to last a very long time. It is an awesome family car, as it is extremely reliable, comfortable and safe, and has a good sized cargo area for hauling "stuff" around. I have used it mostly for highway driving, but living in the country have had to drive poor and snow covered roads frequently. This car has never let me down!

My first AWD and love it!
I bought this car right after having a rather serious accident on a snowy highway. At the time I was driving a front-wheel drive sedan and it was time to get an AWD that would allow me to feel safe but still be comfortable, roomy and fuel efficient.

This truck passed all those tests! I bought the vehicle when it was 4 years old from a dealership. It still had the remainder of the full warranty and I was able to get a few cosmetic items fixed. The leather seats are amazing for long rides, the panorama sunroof makes it a pleasure to drive in our dreary Vancouver weather. It also has a great turn radius and it's as fuel efficient as the old car it replaced! Front and back proximity sensors as well as the tilting right-hand side mirror are great for parking. Little things like the volume of the radio increases when the engine gets louder, secure nets all over the car for storage and the mirror that lights up when you pull it down, makes it all a better experience.

My only concern has been in the center and side console elements. Some of the items like the cup holder and power window buttons are covered in this rubberized overlay that after a while will start to peel. I had them replaced on warranty when I first got it and now, after 2 years, they are peeling again even though I am very gentile knowing there is this defect. :(

X3 is good performance and value
This has been a worry free car for me. Not a lot of km's but no mechanical problems, has guts galore as a 3.0L and would definitely buy it again.

Good SUV
Bought this SUV for my wife recently and she really enjoys it. She feels safe in the snow, which was really important as we are new to Canada and not great drivers in the snow. Fantastic power and great handling for a SUV.
