		That's certainly the case with the BMW X5 which took the suburban upper crust households by storm when it was introduced in 2000.
		BMW learned a lot about making a tall unibody chassis from the X5 and they have made the X3's structure even more robust, needed since the X3 packs plenty of power in two choices, both of which share BMW's M54 engine architecture.
		While the X5 is built in BMW's South Carolina assembly plant, that alone a pox to some BMW purists, the X3 is not built by BMW at all.

		The aluminum M54 block is unchanged from the M52 -- cast-iron liners for all U.S. models replace Nikasil coating for the rest of the world.
		Continuing the trend for reduced maintenance, the M54 engine has a lifetime serpentine auxiliaries drive belt, 100,000-km spark plugs and air filter, and a more sophisticated Service Interval Indicator that counts down the number of miles remaining until an oil change is due.
		To maintain a BMW handling standard, front drive axles are equal length, and the turning circle is only fifteen inches greater than the two-wheel-drive E46.

		BMW must have spent a lot of time and effort in tuning the controls.
		In the past, the first generation Valvetronic used in BMW's V8 and inline-4 engines were seen as a fuel-reducing means rather than a power-enhancing design, although it is actually a variable valve lift system (think of Honda's VTEC).

	2004 BMW 5-Series - The Car Connection
		All the industry analysis in the world about BMW or any journalist's opinion on what makes a BMW fun to drive or why its 5-Series so important to the brand was neatly trumped by a single post-dinner quote from Tom Purves.
		Purves and members of his BMW NA staff welcomed journalists here for the U.S. introduction of the fifth-generation 5-Series, "the heart and soul of a sports sedan and the very central example, of what the BMW brand is all about," he opined.
		BMW's 5-Series is a great car that's been made better, with few if any of the controversial elements that hindered its big brother, the 7-Series.

		BMW would not offer a Touring model again until the late 1980s, with the 3 Series.The 1500 had already begun BMW's reputation for sports sedans, but the 2002 may be considered its ultimate incarnation.
		Consequently, BMW decided to leave well enough alone: while larger BMWs followed a more avant-garde Bangle style, the latest E90 is not a radical departure from the current model.Like most of BMW's contemporary models, the 3 Series name has been applied to many different vehicles.
		The Z8 is a typical BMW from the front of course: Its wide kidney grille and compact round xenon headlights beneath glass covers underline the traditional, typical features of the marque.

		In the midst of this success story, BMW was busy developing a second, more compact sports activity vehicle (SAV) that would bring BMW SAV values to more buyers and advance the standards of handling, agility, and all-road, all-weather traction already established by the X5.
		BMW 6-cylinder engines are of the inline variety-a rarity these days as most vehicle makers have adopted V-6s, primarily because their compactness suits them well for tightly packaged front-wheel-drive cars.
		BMW stays with the somewhat longer inline layout because of its smoothness and sound.

		Continuing a BMW concept first seen in the M3 sports cars and extended to other Series since their debut, all X3s have specific reinforcements that help maintain precise suspension movements: at the front, a large-area thrust plate that also serves as a skid plate; and at the rear, dual diagonal braces.
		The X3 is the first BMW Series to offer Servotronic vehicle-speed-sensitive assist as a stand-alone option: This system has the benefit of further reducing parking effort and providing a progressive diminution of assist with increasing vehicle speed.
		BMW anticipates that X3 buyers will be particularly eager to personalize their vehicles to suit their varied lifestyles.

		It was somewhat surprising, then, that BMW chose the southern Portuguese town of Faro to unleash the latest iteration of its Z roadster line.
		This new drop-top sports a powerful inline six driving the rear wheels, and as if the locals weren't enough of a threat, light rain and slick asphalt had me envisioning spinning tires, jagged pirouettes and twisted metal.
		In typical BMW fashion, the pedals are arranged for those who heel-and-toe, and a nice new touch are pads within the footwells that help knees from bruising during spirited cornering.

	Automotive Design & Production: Less than 5, but not by much: BMW's latest SUV borrows many of its underpinnings ...
		This unit, claims BMW, not only acts more quickly and positively than a viscous-clutch, but makes it possible to use the unit in more situations because the clutch pack can be fully open, fully engaged, or at any level in-between.
		The xDrive system is calibrated to quell understeer or oversteer as well by sending torque to the rear or front wheels, respectively; its application greatly reduces the intervention of the stability control system, which applies individual wheel brakes and reduces engine torque to keep the vehicle headed in the intended direction.
		To strengthen the areas where the subframes attach, BMW engineers added a large thrust plate in front (it also serves as a skid plate), and dual diagonal braces in the rear.

		BMW has added to its SUV (pardon me, SAV) stable with the all-new X3 active lifestyle five-door vehicle.
		There are two versions of BMW's smooth, powerful inline six-cylinder motor designated for the X3: a 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter in the X3 2.5i; and the more desirable 3.0 liter powering the X3 3.0i, which generates 225 horses.
		I was afforded the opportunity to pilot the X3 3.0i around BMW's Performance Center track, where it belied its SAV status and likened itself more to the aforementioned sport wagon category.

		BMW's latest SUV borrows many of its underpinnings from the 3 Series, but comes close to the X5 in most dimensions.
		The young, upscale buyers BMW is banking on to buy the new X3 are unlikely to ever engage in serious off road adventures.
		Which means this SUV–or SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) as BMW calls it–is a crossover, and people who buy car-based SUVs are less likely to take their vehicle way off road–if they can help it.
