What does this sound like to you...
When I slow down to stop my 2007 bmw x3 feels like it's pulling in the transmission. When slowing down... but it shifts gears when speeding up just fine. But when I slow down it starts to pull

2007 BMW X3 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review2007 marked the first significant makeover for BMW's smallest SUV, the X3. Launched in 2004, the X3 had had only minor cosmetic upgrades prior to the 2007 model year, which includes some more changes to its exterior and, most notably, more muscle under the hood.
The 2007 X3 gets an updated 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and uses the latest variable valve timing technology. That results in 260 horsepower, a 35 point increase from the 2006 X3.

I have owned four BMW’s in the past fifteen years. The newer generations are more Lux-O-Boxes then Driving Machine.s
My last BMW I got in late 2019. It is a beautiful piece of machinery. That being the most recent generation. But, doesn’t have heart of 2007 X3, I missed that car and my 2008 M-5 the day I sold them.
I am looking for the fun, feel and ability to tweak the 3.0 engine to increase power. I can make it my own. I want add that generation X3 SAV to complete my BMW collection.
Iwill continue to purchase the new generations of BMW’s as my daily drivers. As well as find unique BMW’s to add to my collection.Mar 24, 2022

Tech connectivity requirements drove me to upgrade to a newer model, but really the 2007 BMW X3 3.0Si is a better, tighter car that is more fun to drive. The drive train is the pinnacle of a perfect naturally aspirated in-line 6 cylinder and a tight 6 speed Triptronic transmission. There is always power. The car is always quick, responsive and accelerating and decelerating. Breaking is solid and vibration free. Comforts are plenty, without being a "fru-fru" car.Apr 02, 2013

This X3 is a pretty amazing little SUV. It has nice power for an SUV, but it's best feature is its handling - I can push through corners and maneuvers that would tear other SUVs I have owned apart. I trust it like little else in that regard. My X3 is somewhat spartan in terms of features, though I do love the heated seats. The panoramic sunroof is unreal - it stretches so far back.Jan 09, 2013

The handling of this vehicle is amazing. It turns just like a sports car and gets 0-60 in less than 7 seconds. Its awd system works great in the rain and in the snow. overall its a great SUV.Dec 10, 2012

This is a very good car. It is quite roomy. Has a good gas mileage. Drives like a sedan. It has some of the best brakes in a any car I have driven. Very good handling in rain. Very good pickup, easy to go fast. Oct 02, 2012

There is no comparison in quality of build and luxury when it comes to BMW. The car literally pampered me every moment I was in it. The heated seats and steering wheel were excellent in the winter and the panoramic sunroof was amazing in the summer.
As a performance driven luxury line, the acceleration/braking/handling of the care was top notch and incomparable to other cars of it's class. It would glide over the roads no matter the condition.
Build quality aspect was phenomenal. Not one single issue to report.
Appearance of the car was beautiful and elegant with a touch of sportiness.
Cost of Ownership wasn't an issue really...outside of requiring premium fuel to run on, but at 23.2mpg fuel ups were a good distance between. Maintenance costs were $0, as it still has factory warranty that covers everything from wiper blades to brakes and more.
The car was a blast! Though I recently traded it for a truck, as my lifestyle has changed I loved every minute of driving my BMW.Feb 18, 2010

Great family vehicle with the performance of a BMW! Very responsive motor... As far as repairs they are few and far between. There have been a few cabin repairs, black finish wearing off of the steering wheel, but nothing mechanical.Oct 11, 2009

I love this car, its got power for a sport utility vehicle, and I feel very safe, being high up. Perfect choice for me. It can be a gas guzzler, but the performance is well worth it. I have it almost fully loaded, with the exception of the navigation system, but hey who needs a navi...Oct 10, 2009

Drives like a sedan! Great road feel, quiet, precise transfer from wheel to road.
Quality - no repairs, great sound system, heated steering wheel is an understated feature for sure.
Very well appointed all black leather and trip. triptonic transmission is fun to drive. Takes 2 full sized kayaks, 3 full size doge and a whole lot of gear.
iPod jack standard and a great addition to be able to bring the entire music collection on road trips.
Loads of fun - if you need to pass just push - vooom!Jan 24, 2009

best suv in it's class! It can go 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, which is extremely fast for a suv. It handles like a car not an suv. It has a 6 speed Transmission, which is rare for this model. It is fun to drive if you know how and looks cool. It has never needed repairs. Aug 13, 2008

Great handling, drives like a normal car. The 3.0i lacks some power but once it gets going is really smooth. The best part of the X3 is the full size sun roof, it's great in the summer time. The car is not bad on gas, 70L tank gets you about 450km with mostly city driving.Jul 28, 2008

I was looking for an SUV that drove like a sedan, but sat up a bit higher with some decent
cargo space. This SUV fits the bill. The SUV has very nice handling with decent power. Flip
it into sport mode and it will allow you to run all the way to redline without babying you by
shifting early.
The interior is typical BMW class with decent frills. I elected to install the iPod adapter,
which works so so. You have to program specific playlists and the unit does not display
the track information. Kind of lame in my opinion.
The bluetooth hookup works well with some phones like the Blackberry 8700C and the
Motorola Razr. The Nokia E62 does not work at all with this particular car.
Overall I would recommend this SUV to anyone in the market for a smaller SUV. I did look
at the RSX, but felt that the interior was rather cheesy.

Is a Dealer entitles to increase a selling price once you make him an offer?
I received an email from a Dealer and CarGurus almost 2 days ago and I am somehow being blocked from posting a review. The Dealer is Cars R Toys and they have a BMW X3, Stock #1356 on for 53 days at the time at $4,950. When I called and spoke with Mr. Pierre Labelle I told him I was very interested and would be comiong in tomorrow (the 54th day). I asked if the car in question was negotiable at all? He said he will send me a quote. He then wrote me back with a price increase and all sorts of other charges bring the sale to $7,214.88 I then looked at CarGurus and found the vehicle and had an increase to $5450 (all documented). This is some sort of game this Dealer is playing to get you interested and then throws you off your game by adding ridiculous costs to the vehicle, not to mention raising the price now that he has an interested buyer with cash in hand. This is poor business ethics and I do not feel that CarGurus would accept these type of sales had they known or now are made aware. The vehicle : https://ca.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-BMW-X3-d392? sourceContext=google&gclid=CN2RisbymdcCFQsuaQodA4YG- Q#listing=185425603 should have been sold at the price quoted on CarGurus plus taxes. I am former Law Enforsement from NYC and have seen the 'Bait & Switch' game for years but this is completely unacceptable. What is CarGurus willing to do to keep their good reputation? Do you accept this type of activity on your site? I remain, Dr. Neil N Floyd
