2011 BMW X3 xDrive 35i Review

Twenty five years ago, 2011 BMW X3 xDrive 35i introduced its first model with all-wheel drive. It was the 315 ix. But it lasted until 1999, that the company became serious about X-cars, when it introduced the X5. It was also the first X-model that rolled out of the plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The concept was controversial, but marked a new segment as well as a new era for BMW. More than a decade later, the Bavarians are building three more X-models, the X6, X3 and X1. The X3 was produced in the Magna Steyr plant in Austria, but production of the new, second generation has just started in the extended plant in Spartanburg, SC.Fortunately, for the development of the new X3, BMW listened to its customers. They were not happy with the size, especially the interior space offered for rear passengers. They also criticized the looks of the interior of the current X3 and last but not least its uncomfortable ride. But times were different then and the first X3 had nothing to fear from its German competitors Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. In the meantime those brands are gaining market share in the X3's segment and BMW was well aware those issues had to be seriously address during the development of the new generation X3. Of the new model, the interior trim reflects that of the X5, the size has grown, and is on par with the ' Freude am Fahren' character that you might expect from a Bavarian model.With a new design the bmw X3 looks better than before, more active to match the words Sports Activity Vehicle that BMW 'invented'.
