2007 BMW X3 3.0si 4dr All-wheel Drive Overview

The X3 is quick and fast, and the xDrive puts it at the head of the class when weather or road goes north. It's roomy, both for passengers and cargo. And just as important, it's replete with safety features, both active and passive.

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a new six-speed automatic with Steptronic is a no-charge option. The X3 3.0si is stuffed with standard equipment. Cockpit amenities include Sensatec leatherette upholstery; Panorama glass moonroof with fully automatic, two-piece glass panels; rain-sensing windshield wipers with automatic headlight control; and flat tire warning system. The xDrive, Dynamic Stability Control and Hill Descent Control combine to offer excellent handling, grip, traction, stability on gravel roads, muddy two-tracks and snow-covered backroads.

For 2007, the BMW X3 comes in one model, the new 3.0si. Replacing last year's 225-hp 3.0-liter inline-6 is a totally new 260-hp 3.0-liter inline-6.
