The 2006 BMW X3 is part of the luxury SUV's first generation, which began production in 2004 and ended in 2010. The X3 is outfitted with BMW's trademark all-wheel-drive system, xDrive, for optimal grip and handling in various road conditions. Powering this SUV is a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that produces a commendable 225 horsepower, paired with a choice of a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Luxury-oriented equipment packages and a generous list of standard and optional safety features further elevate this model. The inside is laden with high-quality materials and provides a comfortable, enjoyable journey. Infotainment-wise, the X3 includes BMW’s Car Information Computer system, and although it lacks modern luxuries like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it was praised for its intuitive functionality back in its day.
