Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
Drives very sporty, plenty of power. Engine runs very well, sounds like a V8 and is just as fast as any I have been in.
Many nice features. Turning headlights that are automatic only if you want them that way, auto dimming rearview mirror is sweet, rain sensing wipers, 18" wheels, gas cap holder set up is on time.
Many more options that are handy.. Very cool truck. BMW makes a good product.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
Better Gas Mileage.

2006 BMW X3 Review:
Wow!!! I love this vehicle. I have the silver gray metallic with the black and terra cotta interior. It drives like a sport sedan, but with a higher view like a SUV. The interior is very well done and easy to clean. I see a lot of them on the road but I tend to think mine looks better than everyone else.

2006 BMW X3 Review:
For a truck, this is a great handling vehicle with precise steering, excellent tire grip and outstanding brakes. This truck will outhandle most cars on the road with ease. The gas mileage is quite poor..16 mpg city, 22 highway and it takes premium fuel. The storeage space is quite limited for a truck. The automatic transmission is fair, at best..if you can drive a stick shift, I'd recommend it. Despite these shortcomings, this is about the most driving enjoyment you'll ever find in an SUV.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
it is a nice looking vehicle.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
there is very little room in the front seat area-no where to put a purse or if you try to eat in the car with a passenger -there just isn't enough room for anything.
2006 BMW X3 Review:
the car handles a little too tight- no play in the wheel at all.

2006 BMW X3 Review:
We had to bring it to the service center for a defective part with 4 months of owning it. They took 3 days to fix the problem. That never happened to us when we had the Toyota Camry.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
Have yet to find anything I really like about this car.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
At the top of a long list: Build a transmission that operates better than a C-6 Ford transmission. Build a sunroof that does not leak air . Make the doors close with a more solid sound than a "clink".
2006 BMW X3 Review:
BMW quality is sinking fast. This model does not deserve the BMW logo. Paid $41,000 for this car. Not a stripped model. Problems from day one.

2006 BMW X3 Review:
There a too many malfunctions with the X3; 1) doors do not unlock and lock - intermittent. 2) Sunroof does not close completely - intermittent 3) Flat tire light stays on when tires have been checked by the dealer. 4) Jerks in 3rd gear. 5) Not roomy enough. 6) Does not give the BMW feel/lacks quality overall.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
On board computer, tilt-down reverse mirror, Bluetooth technology, incredible sunroof, seats that fit like a glove, telescopic steering wheel, world class suspension, silky inline 6 engine.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
Chrome exhaust tips should be installed at the factory.
2006 BMW X3 Review:
With the 2006 iteration of the X3, the gray cladding is gone from the front end. A matching painted from end with repositioned fog lights has dramatically improved the aesthetics of the vehicle. Our X3 has been driven some 800 miles, and over these miles the vehicle has performed flawlessly. The quality and finish on this factory ordered X3 is first class. The handling is superb. The X-Drive works to make driving in water-filled pitted lanes far less demanding of the driver. The X3 isn't an M3 when it comes to handling, but is IMHO handily superior to the offerings by other SUV marques. Overall, the X3 is quality and value under $50k.
