About 2005 BMW X3
overall
The 2005 BMW X3 strikes a balance between utility and fun.
The BMW X3 is one of the most car-like and engaging crossovers to hit the market in a long time, and lives up to its nickname: "the ultimate driving machine." BMW endowed its smaller SUV with responsive engines, sporty handling, and a top-notch cabin that matches its premium-name pedigree. Two drivetrains are on deck for the 2005 model year: a 2.5-liter inline-six that makes 184 horsepower, and a 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 225 horsepower. There's no turbo, and no need for one. BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive is standard.
Two trims are available, which are designated by the type of engine that the X3 carries. The X3 2.5i is the base model, while the X3 3.0i is the upgrade. The X3 is targeted at new-car buyers that want a premium crossover that feels and drives like a sporty car. It competes with the Lexus RX, Acura MDX, Volvo XC90, and more.
