What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2007 BMW X3

2007 BMW X3 Available Features: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Most available features such as cd changer, docking station, trailer hitch are very expensive for this type of vehicle (high end) see full BMW X3 review
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The price of the X3 runs up very fast as most desirable features are a la carte and expensive. The interior has some very poor design features. Opening the center console is rediculous. A segmented plastic piece makes it difficult to accomplish. see full BMW X3 review
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Satellite radio required pre-wiring for dealer installation. Bluetooth phone link is primative compared to other vehicles. see full BMW X3 review
