I recently purchased a 2006 BMW X3….. nice car, but a rough ride. Later learned it had a SPORTS PACKAGE, which has stiffer suspension. Why BMW even considered making a van to drive like a truck exhaust’s my mind. I am going to remove the front strut assemblies, and rear coil springs, and replace the SPORTS PACKAGE with a standard suspension…. it will ride better…. I test drove one with standard suspension….excellent ride!!!!! dennis belk

I just traded my CRV on a 2l diesel X3 and there is no comparision. The CRV is a good compact SUV but the x3 is a great compact SUV.

I love driving the x3 and it does everything I require of a car.

Did you think that the car was for the dad! Dad can afford anything I am sure. It’s for the mum obviously. Some people don’t like driving large cars, hence the smaller version. Every manufacturer has a large and smaller version of an SUV – even in the affordable brands. It is personal choice and obviously in this case it is about safety. X3 has out done any SUV in its class every time. It’s about driving something you like. Each to their own.

The X3 actually isn’t a bad SUV option but the fact its car seat anchor points are located 1/3rd of the way back on the boot floor is downright ridiculous & completely impractical.

All that picture tells me is “fail”…

This kid will grow up with a dad who couldn’t afford a real BMW so opted for a cheap one just to say he drives a BMW…

Poor kid…

Anyone who buys an X3/5 is just endangering others who cant afford to buy a bigger car or dont need a bigger car, all just to feel all high and mighty.

Speaking of the CRV, now that has to be the ugliest suv going around. It has that stupid front on it and an ugly interior.

It’s a CR-V with a BMW badge on it. Wait, except it lacks the Honda build quality. When I pull up to one at the lights my CR-V is actually bigger (or at least seems that way). The only real advantage is the 3.0L 6-cylinder (but then, you can get a V6 RAV4 so that rules that out).
