I was given a 2007 BMW x3 3.
I was given a 2007 BMW x3 3.0si 6mt about a year ago. It was given to me with a blown power steering line after a local shop had destroyed the rack trying to remove it. After about $1000 in parts to get the steering rack fixed (kind of complicated component in the 6mt as it’s different than the others), this is easily one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I liked this truck so much that I made it full bolt on within a month of driving it and have enjoyed every moment. As per all BMWs, I recommend you do all the preventive maintenance before you buy, but at 120k miles I can say it’s been a blast! I totally get what BMW was going for I this thing and it’s been a pleasure. Highly recommend the 6mt E83

BMW can be costly
Was a bear to keep up financially with repairs as the car aged! Be prepared financially to own a BMW as it ages and by all means find a reputable BMW mechanic!

Found this on cars.com. Drove it. Bought it.
This is a very sporty, solid SUV. Steering is very responsive and brakes are great. The M sport package makes the difference here. There are too many features to list. Find one in good condition like I did and don't hesitate.

Great handling and fun to drive SUV
I bought it used, although it still looked and performed like new and all maintenance was done at BMW dealers. I have driven this vehicle during Minnesota Winters and the handling in icy/snow conditions is fantastic. I have taken this car through heavily snow covered back roads in order to truly test it's capabilities and it is nothing short of impressive. Summer driving is enjoyable and it truly feels like a sports car disguised as an SUV, although the ride can be a bit harsh on some of Minnesota's far from perfect roads. The things I don't like, but are willing to live with, are the center console storage compartment that looks and feels cheap and the ratcheting lid does not make any sense. The location of the AUX input jack behind this compartment is not driver friendly at all. As a car mechanic doing my own maintenance, the lack of dipsticks for engine oil and transmission fluid makes checking these fluids more complicated than necessary. These issues are minor however in comparison to what this car has given me. Any vehicle driven a few years in the harsh Minnesota climate will often result in the vehicle rusting away around you, but this X3, having 160,000 miles on the odometer, still looks fantastic. Having a vehicle that still looks this pristine underneath is worth owning and combining that with it's comfort and serious performance makes it the very best vehicle I have ever owned. I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone.

Well maintained
Dealer, BMW independent shop, BMW Technician &/or owner maintained. This is my daily driver including once a week to PA. We originally leased it and purchased it after. Had it certified when we bought it.

never felt safer
I'm a BMW lover so when my lease was up & family started growing, I decided to get an X3. Best decision ever~ such a smooth drive & so powerful. Good on gas miles too.

Don't need a premium vehicle
The X3 is roomy inside and pretty comfortable, but lots of cars are. Gas mileage isn't as good as I hoped and buying premium gas ... well, enough. Ride is a little rough but it's quieter than other vehicles. I'd watch out for the older X3s ... I don't know that enough care went into their build. 12 yrs and 120K miles and a lot of things are going wrong. I also hear similar stories from our mechanic.

Quality vehicle, stylish, good value for money
This car has been a good family car for us. We feel comfortable taking our two kids on trips in the vehicle and do not have concerns around performance. The car has held up well from a style perspective and the interior is very classic.

Luxury car for less
Best car for first time buyers, luxury or SUV or AWD lovers and one who loves excellent music effect while driving. Unbelievable performance by a small muscle man.
