This is a Motormouth couple car review of the BMW X3 compact luxury SUV or what BMW calls an SAV, or sport activity vehicle. The BMW X3 was the very first premium vehicle in the compact SUV category and BMW certainly has a lot of expertise in this design. The Audi Q3 is the best selling premium compact utility but the X3 is always a favourite with enthusiasts thanks to solid handling and a willing engine. The base BMW X3 30i has a 2.0-Litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission with 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. There is an optional 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine available, called the M40i with 382hp, plus a new 30e plug-in with 288hp. The Audi Q5 and GLC are some of the main competitors to the BMW X3 SUV but also the Porsche Macan, Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Cadillac XT4 to name a few. The BMW X3 compact luxury crossover is actually bigger than the very first X5 and has plenty of room in the second row and a useful cargo area. The interior isn't as nicely finished as the larger X5, plus that SUV comes standard with the inline 6-cylinder as standard equipment. The BMW X3 30i comes standard with 10.2-inch touchscreen with BMW’s iDrive , Apple Carplay and Android Auto, Electric seats with driver memory, Heated leather wrapped sport steering wheel, Leather heated front sport seats, Automatic climate control, Driving Assistant, LED headlights and taillights, LED foglights and 19” wheels.
