Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 BMW X3 is largely unchanged for what should be its final model year in its current design. This premium-compact SUV comes in a single xDrive30i trim level with standard all-wheel drive. The sole engine is a 260-hp 3.0-liter 6-cylinder. It teams with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 3500 lb. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front and rear side airbags, and head-protecting tubular side airbags. An available Sport Package includes a sport suspension and specific 18-inch wheels. Among the available options are a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. Other options include a navigation system and front- and rear-obstacle detection. Note that X3 was slated to be redesigned for 2010, but this likely will happen for model-year 2011.
