What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 BMW X3
2007
4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD
With the comfort seat option, you can customize seat position to you preference, including lumbar and shoulder adjustment. Decent support for someone up to 6 feet tall. Heated seats work very well.
