BMW X3 Midsize SUV for 2007
The BMW X3 Midsize SUV isn’t scheduled for a full redesign until mid 2009, but the compact crossover will get a mid cycle freshening for the 2007 model year. A significant change is the new engine, a DOHC 3 liter inline six cylinder that gives 260 hp and 225 lb ft of torque. In the 2007 X3 3.0si, the engine is connected to a standard six speed manual gearbox, with a new six speed Steptronic automatic offered as a no cost option instead of the current five speed automatic. The exterior makeover has restyled front and rear bumpers, grille, head and tail lamps and wheels. The cabin is also upgraded with new materials and wood trim. Options include adaptive head lamps, adaptive break lights, 18 and 19 inch alloy wheels and heated rear seats.
