      BMW revealed the new BMW X3 today. The car has an attractive design inside and out. The X3 will be receiving 3 motors although only 2 are confirmed for the USA at the moment, the 240hp Xrdive28i powered by the N52 and the 300hp Xdrive35i powered by the N55. BMW is reporting a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds for the xdrive35i.

      The vehicle comes with an 8speed automatic and a diesel is available but not in the US market yet. The diesel model is the Xdrive20d which is a 4 cylinder diesel, specs: Displacement: 1,995 cc, power output: 135 kW/184 bhp at 4,000 rpm, max. torque: 380 Nm at 1,750 – 2,750 rpm.

      With a curb weight around ~4000 pounds, the X3 is one of the lightest SUV's on the market. We would argue the X3 would serve as a better base for an M suv than the X5 or X6 even. Unfortunately, it seems BMW will not be giving this model a V8.
