Though it has redefined the compact SUV segment standards, the BMW X3 has more difficulty than ever to keep up the rhythm. Whatever the outcome, a new X3 is coming probably sometime this year. But, while we wait, the current model has its share of appealing qualities. The 3.0i version gets a 215 horsepower six in-line cylinder engine, while the 3.0si is fitted with a 260 horsepower engine. Even if the automatic transmission works well, the six-speed manual transmission is much more enjoyable!
