2011 BMW X3 Review
Overview
The all-new 2011 BMW X3 – versatility has never looked better. Power and efficiency go hand in hand in the X3 with a 300 horsepower inline 6-cylinder engine going from zero to 60 in a time of 5.5 seconds. And Brake Energy Regeneration ensures energy in any capacity isn’t wasted – making this BMW’s most powerful and efficient X3 yet. The all-new X3 has even more space than before. And with enhanced functionality you can fit even more into it. The Navigation system comes standard with an 8.8 inch control display while the state-of-the-art ConnectedDrive System has even more innovative features to keep you connected. Unlike other All Wheel Drive Systems the X3 is built with rear wheel bias for sure-footed grip on slick roads without sacrificing the feel of rear wheel drive. Plus - the Electronic Damping Control lets you easily switch between the Normal Sport or sport and gear settings with just the push of a button. Whether it’s running errands around town or traversing windy mountain passes the 2011 X3 handles the road with ease and superior traction.
