2003 BMW X3

Automobiles

The X3 premiered in September 2003 at the Frankfurt Auto Show, as a compact luxury crossover sharing its rear suspension with the E46 330xi and with an automatic four wheel drive system marketed as xDrive. It was the first BMW to carry the xDrive name. A precursor, the xActivity concept with a fixed profile convertible body, had been shown at the Detroit show in 2003, and the production car was made in Austria by Magna Steyr.
