| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Out the door pricing undercuts G35 by over $4K. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 286-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
At the time of purchase there was rebades available |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very competitively priced for the features. Simple pricing structure - nearly everything is standard. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
bought new at end of 2005 model year. dealer wanted to move it; was willing to give me a very good price; less expensive than comparables at the time (lexus, volvo) |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Price. I shopped Infiniti and Cadillac and found that when optioned to match the Acura TL they were significantly more expensive. |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Price for the AWD Tech was a little high, coudl have been $2K cheaper. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Little high. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Alot of money for such poor quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Expensive car and expensive tires. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Car is overpriced. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3
| Price of the BMW X3: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very expensive for few features. It will quickly be overtaken by other entrants who have leather, auto tailgates, fold up mirrors, bluetooth, cameras, etc. for less money than the base X3. Lose the metal key please. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive for what you get, particularly when compared to other vehicles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
I believe the pricing is about 10% too high, especially when one considers adding options... also the dealer seems to have less margin to deal then other competitors (Lexus,Acura...etc...) |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The base price is reasonable, but adding options quickly pushes the price north of $45K. Depreciation has been very high, mainly because of it being an SUV having to battle high gas prices. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The Ultimate Bank Account Drain |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
insanely expensive 20K more than Vue |
