2007-2010 BMW X3 3.0si

The BMW X3 is a compact luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW since 2003. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) is a German international automaker of luxury vehicles and motorcycles. The first-generation BMW X3, called the E83, was produced between 2003 and 2010 and based on the BMW 3 Series platform.

When the E83 was released in 2004, it included an automatic four-wheel-drive system called xDrive, which is included in all X3 models. This all-wheel-drive system automatically splits torque 40:60 between the front and rear axles, though the system can be adjusted to direct all torque to either axle. The X3 features an upright, high H-point seating configuration, called “command seating” by BMW.

The 3.0si/xDrive30i version of the BMW X3 was produced between 2007 and 2010. The 3.0si model includes an N52B30 engine that produces 200 kiloWatts or 268 horsepower at 6650 revolutions per minute. It produces 315 Newton-meters of torque at 2750 revolutions per minute.

The BMW emblem is generally located in the center of their vehicle’s front end. The emblem includes the letters “BMW” in a black circle surrounding an inner circle made from two white and two blue triangles with the same-colored shape opposite to each other. X3 models also include the name “X3” on the rear of the vehicles. The 3.0si models include an emblem with the model name on the right-hand side of the vehicles’ rear end.
