Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
Fun to drive, reliable, comfortable, love the extra large sunroof on the 3.0, great pick-up, heated seats, handy storage spaces

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
Sunroof leaked with heavy rain, brought into dealer for repair. Repaired without further incident and received a loaner during this time. Car doors need a little extra push to close tightly.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
Bluetooth, MP3 Player. I can put 6+ CDs of music on a single CD. Tight suspension, very responsive driving.I love the standard features and options: MP3 player, satellite radio, (don't need the 6-disc CD), leather, blue-tooth for my cell - no problem making phone calls with the button on the wheel.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
Give just a little more LCD for display. Have to toggle between radio, time, satellite, phone, etc. Would like to have more displayed at the same time. Just a little more room for back-seat passengers (less cargo). Not a good drive for 4 adults for a long trip.

2006 BMW X3 Review:
Previous car - 1998 4-door BMW M3. Though this car can't compare, it's a fun vehicle to drive. It's roomier than the M3, handles fairly well, has a higher ground clearance. Has Luxury yet not overly done, clean lines. Haven't had it long enough to experience any problems, but I had my M3 for 6 years before problems started popping up. I expect to have this one just as long. 4-years maintenance was too attractive to pass up. Test drove many SUVs (at least 10 cars); the rides were close, but BMW had the maintenance and the tighter steering. I don't mind a stiffer ride if I can feel the road. This isn't a smooth-car ride.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X3?
Quiet, well designed, durable, easy to clean interior. Upgraded sound with auxillary iPod capability. Sporty driving experience without giving up luxury.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X3?
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 have the auxillary input for my iPod, and with the upgraded stereo, the sound is fantastic. I had a 2004 Acura TL, but this summer I hydroplaned and wanted to replace it with something all-wheel drive and more like a SUV without giving up the sportier/more luxurious side of driving. I could not have asked for anything better. The only...and I repeat, only downside is the fuel economy.
