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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3

Price of the BMW X3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
