Initially, the X3 was introduced with mediocre looks, but no sooner did the designers revamp its looks to bring it to the standards of high end SUVs.

First Generation (2003-2005)

The BMW X3 was unveiled during 2003, and the xDrive was one of the most impressive features of this new launch, which could intervene with the driver when things go wrong without driver’s knowledge, take charge of the driving mechanism and provide enough valuable time to the driver to figure out the instability and its cause.
