2006 BMW X3 SUV 3.0i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
One of the best luxury SUVs out there
 X3 is a perfect all-weather luxury SUV with many safety features: front airbags, chest airbags for front passengers, head protection side curtain airbags, ABS, stability control, AWD, daytime running lights, flat tire warning system & telematics assistance.  X3 rides comfortably but not softly & it handles better than all other SUVs Ive driven, including Cayenne, XC90, ML350, RX & GX.   Noise & vibration are well-controlled. Interior quality is great & its significantly better than those in XC90 & ML350. Its roomy for 4 passengers but 5 is a tight fit.  Reliability is great.  Mileage is not good: 12 mpg overall with mostly city driving & a range of 17 to 20 miles per gallon on highways.
