BMW X3 2003 - 2010 Review

A 3.0-liter V6 engine produces 272 hp and 315 Nm of torque. The car delivers powerful torque, providing a fun-to-drive experience. It offers good traction and smooth, seamless performance.

It also comes with a 6-speed Steptronic transmission and achieves a fuel consumption of 10.3 liters per 100 km. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, has a top speed of 228 km/h, and has a 67-liter fuel tank. It is also available with an X-Drive all-wheel drive system and a DSC dynamic stability control system.

The KLK is equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter gasoline engines, and 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter diesel engines. The only drawback is the loud engine noise at high speeds.

The car is 4.569 meters long, 1.853 meters wide, and 1.674 meters high. It has a long wheelbase, which provides good interior space in the car and accommodates 5 passengers comfortably with a comfortable ride. However, it is not as spacious as one can imagine in an SUV, and some may feel the space inside is a bit cramped.

Spare parts prices are very high at the dealership. The main drawback is the scarcity of spare parts outside the dealership, with most of them imported. It's preferable to buy technical spare parts from the dealership despite their high price. However, some spare parts, including accessories, can be obtained outside the dealership, such as bumpers and mirrors. There's a significant price difference between the dealership and imported parts.

The car has many technicians and service centers outside the dealership who know how to handle it. Its maintenance costs, although high, are lower than some other BMW models. It can be said that the car doesn't require much maintenance or spare parts, and the latter are long-lasting.

The car has a suspension that provides high stability on the road. It is an advanced suspension capable of changing the intensity of response according to the type of road through sensors and automatic control, which provides comfort and stability on all roads and provides flexibility in all operating conditions of the car, and therefore it is suitable for Egyptian roads. However, some may find the suspension uncomfortable, especially on bumps for those sitting in the back seat. But in the end, it must be known that the car is four-wheel drive and may not be comfortable for those not accustomed to four-wheel drive.

The car is not in strong demand in the used market, and the reason for that is its design, not feeling very comfortable inside, and the availability of many other options in this category. It could be bigger and more spacious, but stability and safety are available to the BMW more than its competitors. However, it cannot be said that the car will not find its way to sale, despite the possibility of difficulty in reselling the car, it is still a BMW and has its demand in the market, and its resale price cannot decline in a way that causes significant losses for the car buyer.

The car received 4 stars for adult occupant protection and 4 stars for child protection, but it received only 1 star for pedestrian protection. The car is strong, durable, and capable of heavy-duty work. It is equipped with: 8 airbags Front and rear ventilated disc brakes Active front headrests ABS brakes and ADB-X Stability and traction control Central locking and cruise control Collision sensors Dynamic stability control (DSC) Fog lights Hill start assist Rear child seat anchors Rain sensors Automatic headlight control Extra battery under the trunk Background

Tire pressure monitor.

It lacks rear parking sensors, electric folding mirrors, and a dashboard display with the i-drive system.
