  BMW X3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BMW X3 is a compact luxury crossover SUV produced by the German automaker BMW.

 usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2004 BMW X3 (3/2/04)
BMW’s cup holders often seem to be a sarcastic joke, and the one in the X3’s front seat is no exception: It’s in the middle of the center console, where it directly interferes with your access to the shift lever.
The bane of most sport utilities–even BMW’s flagship SUV, the X5–is the top-heavy handling, which is a mere matter of physics when you raise a vehicle’s height.
Yet the X3 is about 650 pounds lighter, a difference that endows the X3 with a nimble maneuverability that betters the X5’s stately muscularity.

Its unique position within the BMW model lineup is underlined by a wide range of characteristic features such as the newly interpreted, classic "Hofmeister kink" in the rear side windows, the newly designed double kidney grille, as well as the headlights and rear lights.
As a result, the X3 responds with cat-like reflexes, but at the same time is able to feed optimum drive forces to the respective axle at any time when cornering, significantly minimizing both understeer and oversteer in the process.
The outstanding versatility of the new BMW X3 is by no means limited to the wide range of different road conditions and terrain on which this SAV demonstrates its agile and dynamic performance.

A glance at the specs suggests that the X3 is nearly as large as an X5 on the outside.
Given that BMW tends to style all of its vehicles similarly, the X3 might be expected to be similarly stylish.
