BMW NA just posted info on the 2006 X3. Much speculation went around what the trims would be, especially engine wise...this is the final answer: deletion of the 2.5 model, only 1 trim remains, the 3.0i.
Wherever you’re headed, on or off road, you’ll get there quicker in the 2006 X3 3.0i SAV®. One touch of the M Sport Steering wheel, and you know, this isn’t just any all-wheel drive vehicle. With its 3.0-liter, 225-hp inline-six engine and the sure-footed, all-weather handling of its xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, the X3 is ready for action.
The X3’s updated exterior with body colored front and rear bumpers ensure that whether climbing up mountain trails, or a parking garage ramp, the X3 makes a bold statement.
