What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the 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 |

ZERO defects in material and workmanship from delivery to its current 20,800 miles. The car is simply perfect, every seam straight, every screw tight. Not a rattle or squeak to be heard. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good fit and finish. Heavy doors and tailgate. Seats fold down and up securely. Seats are smooth and tight. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Materials are plain but substantive. Exception would be cheap cup holder and storage compartment between front seats - cheap cheap |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Modern design, proven technologies, well built. |
