finally saw this thing in real life today in downtown (actually saw 2 of them...one was black and was obviously from a dealer as it had huge stickers on it and other one was silver and was owned by somebody)

all I have to say is :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

don't have a pic or anything but just want to see what you guys think of this POS looking "suv" after seeing one in person (if you have already seen one.)

I think its alright but that's kind of the problem - bimmer should be putting out something that really stands out and I don't think the x3 does.

Its nice, but nothing special - not really how I like to describe something from BMW.

reminds me of the matrix... it looked not bad on the commercials but it was disgusting when i saw it in real life.

Aparently they aren't selling as it is priced too close to the X5.

I guess a lot of customers are going in to buy the X3 but leaving with the X5 as it is better value.

All the review I have read/seen indicate that it is a lifted 3 series wagon with a harsher suspension and slightly less performance. If you aren't planning on doing light off roading, get the 325 touring.

Anyway, most magazines say it sucks.

The X3 is beat like last place in a marathon.

Same kinda idea, IMO as the Freelander, I have heard nothing but bad reviews in the media to this point.

Even if you're planning on offroading, the X3 is useless. Fifth Gear demonstrated this in their review of it.

its not THAT bad...then again, the dealer had a loaded X3 3.0 for like...68,000...thats X5 3.0 home country...
Kind of expensive for waht you get...but looks wise, its not THAT bad...
I'd rather go w/ a Land Rover...

They are seriously that much? Thats pretty obscene.. I thought they would bring it out to be competitive with other smaller SUVs in their category :rolleyes:

I like it, and I plan on getting one eventually. I would rather buy it over the x5.

what the hell do u mean its 68,000.. thats more than a 3.0 x5 ... the x3 starts at 30gs american.. thats like 40 canadian.. unless that x3 has airlift and fuckin 22' chromies it should be priced at that. thats around 20g in upgrades. maybe im wrong as hell, but that doesnt sound right to me.. the x5 3.8l starts at around 70 g

The X5 isn't an off-roader either. it even says in the owners manual.

I rather have a MDX for $50K than a X3 for $68K.

I thought X3 is supposet to max out @ $50K, much like most of the 3 series?

From bmw.ca, a fully loaded X3 330i = $70540 + Tax

Talking about rip off.

:werd: I keep seeing that MDX with chromies on old Banff coach road on my way to work, and it catches my eye every time.
The X3 is a limited use SUV and a waste of money IMO

I don't like the X3 either

The X5 I like, but I can't stand the X3, it feels like BMW is making a rav4 or crv
