2008 BMW X3 3.0si - BMW Luxury Compact SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The X3 certainly has the reflexes of a BMW, with sharp steering and good body control, and the X3's inline six is still one of the best engines in the world.

You know a BMW is getting old when you have to insert a conventional key and turn it to start the engine. This isn't a bad thing, it just shows you how quickly BMW has added new functions to their cars. In addition, the X3's navigation system doesn't have an iDrive controller, there is a water temperature gauge, and the indictor and wiper stalks don't reset to a neutral position after each selection.
