BMW X3 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2010) — First Generation Restyling
The facelifted first-generation BMW X3 offers a five-door SUV body with varied powertrain and equipment choices. Finding the right version means considering your usual journeys, transmission preference and the features you value.
BMW X3 engine choices include the gasoline 2.0i 2.0 MT and 2.5si 2.5 MT, both pairing manual control with all-wheel drive. The diesel 3.5d 3.0 AT combines all-wheel drive with automatic shifting, easing the workload in traffic. These examples illustrate the powertrain variety within the generation.
On the 2.5si 2.5 AT, xDrive30 Lifestyle and xDrive35 identify equipment configurations paired with a gasoline engine, automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. When comparing BMW X3 trim levels, check each car’s fitted comfort and convenience features, since a name alone may not capture its optional equipment.
