2011 bmw x3 series is a beautiful, versatile automobile with functionality that can be suitable for all of your many needs
BMW at the Paris Motor Show 2010 Fair 2011 BMW X3, and with it the M sport for the new BMW X3. The 2011 X3 is right for the first time with Auto Start / Auto Stop, combined with a six-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission with optimum energy efficiency.
New M Sports Package X3 includes a new front bumper, new side skirts, new rear bumper with integrated diffuser and exhaust system, new rear roof spoiler and a new M-style alloy, making it much more elegant than the standard model. M package also includes a pair of sports updates in the cockpit, as the new M Sports steering wheel paddles, a new sports seats and aluminum pedals.
In 2011 Bmw X3 offers a choice of two power units improved, a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo diesel with 184 hp and 380 Nm of torque and xDrive20d 3.0L engine with 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque for the xDrive35i.
The new X3 xDrive20d will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 8.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 210 km / h when running with an average consumption of 5.6 l / 100 km and emits 146 g / km of CO2. The sportier X3 xDrive35i go from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 245 km / h. The average consumption is 8.8 l/100 km and CO2 emission level is 204 g / km.
The body design of the new BMW X3 conveys urban elegance and robust agility. The combination of a flat front end and a high rear end creates, when viewed from the side, a dynamically formed wedge shape, indicating the vehicle's sporting characteristics. Distinctive lines structure the beautifully modelled surfaces, giving the bodywork the appearance of a concisely modelled sculpture. The black protective trim on the lower edge of the body of the new BMW X3 sports a distinctively discreet design.
With the upright BMW kidney grille, large headlight assembly, powerfullooking front apron and a bonnet structured by six contour lines running towards the kidney grille, the front end of the new BMW X3 signalises self-assured presence. In conjunction with the dual round headlights, fog lamps positioned far to the outside form the light source arrangement typical of BMW models. The upper edge of the headlight assembly sports an accentuating chrome trim, creating the focussed look so typical of BMW vehicles. In conjunction with the optional Xenon headlights, the vehicle features daytime running lights that function by means of bright white LED light rings.
The side view of the new BMW X3 is also characterised by a unique interpretation of typical BMW X design features. Powerfully flared wheel arches and the short distance between the front axle and the dashboard accentuate the robust character of the Sports Activity Vehicle. The dynamiclooking silhouette is additionally emphasised by three characteristic lines. The brand-typical contour line at door handle level rises steeply at first within the front wheel arch area , then makes a gentle swing to the rear end. Two less pronounced lines follow the course of the line above the wheel arches.
The rear end is characterised by horizontal lines, underlining the new BMW X3's robust character. Distinctive lines and expressively modelled surfaces create attractive light and shadow effects. The taillights, which are located far to the outside, have a distinctive T shape that is characteristic of the BMW X3. Combined with optional Xenon headlights, LED light banks reflect the typical BMW night design.

A generous and variably utilisable spatial concept, high-grade materials and a characteristic three-dimensional surface design provide the interior of the new BMW X3 with a modern, premium ambience and intelligent functionality. The horizontal orientation of the instrument panel accentuates the width of the interior. In conjunction with the optional navigation system Professional and Head-up Display, the instrument panel utilises Black Panel technology already featured in the BMW 7-Series and BMW 5-Series. It combines state-of-the-art display technology with a classic round instrument look.
Brand-typical driver orientation is emphasised by the asymmetrically designed centre console. The raised seating position facilitates convenient entry, whilst optimising the overview of the traffic situation. The control display of the optional BMW iDrive control system is harmoniously integrated into the instrument panel. The 8.8-inch high-resolution screen of the navigation system Professional featured in the new BMW X3 is the largest on-board monitor in its segment.
The exterior colour portfolio for the new BMW X3 comprises ten colour variants, including the metallic variants Vermillon Red, Sparkling Bronze and Bluewater, which are available for this model for the very first time. Also, the colour Carbon Black metallic is exclusively available in conjunction with the M Sports Package. It is possible to design the interior according to individual preference using a combination of the interior colours black and beige with interior trims in standard matt Satin Silver and in the optional variants finely brushed aluminium, real wood Fineline Wave and real wood Fineline Siena. Seat upholsteries in the fabric/ribbon and fabric/leather combination Pearlpoint are available in two colours. The leather trim Nevada is available in five colours.
The new BMW X3 features permanent four-wheel drive technology xDrive as standard. The electronically controlled system ensures variable distribution of torque between the front and rear axles. The control system, which is linked to the DSC Dynamic Stability Control, counteracts any tendency to oversteer or understeer through fast and precise response. By means of innovative configuration designed to enhance driving dynamics, intelligent four-wheel drive technology optimises not only traction, but above all, handling in bends. Even during steady cornering, a higher degree of torque is transferred to the rear wheels. With optional Performance Control, the vehicle's agile handling can be enhanced even further. Targeted braking of the rear wheel nearest the inside of the bend coupled with a simultaneous increase in engine output ensures particularly spontaneous and precise steering behaviour. This leads to enhanced dynamics in bends as well as best possible traction.
The new BMW X3 also features completely redeveloped suspension technology. The combination of a double-joint spring-strut axle at the front and a five-link rear axle offers in conjunction with a triple strut mount for both axles the ideal prerequisites for optimising agility and driving comfort. A sports-oriented suspension is available as an option.
Electric power steering (EPS) incorporated in a BMW X model for the first time contributes significantly towards precise handling. Furthermore, the system, whose power is generated by an electric motor, promotes the vehicle's efficiency. Its electric motor only uses energy when power steering is required. The Servotronic function ensures power assisted steering according to speed. Newly devised and optionally available Variable Sports Steering reduces the degree of steering movement necessary to turn the front wheels. As a result, parking and cornering becomes simple and safe as less steering effort is required. In contrast, the steering precision characteristic of BMW is guaranteed at high speeds. Each demand-controlled steering ratio is created in this system by means of a variable rack and pinion setup.
The highly efficient braking system featuring large, internally ventilated discs at the front and rear as well as DSC ensure the highest degree of active safety. The functional range of DSC includes, inter alia, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Automatic Differential Brake (ADB-X) and Hill Descent Control for controlled downhill driving. The BMW X3 xDrive20d is fitted as standard with 17-inch light alloys, and the BMW X3 xDrive35i with 18-inch light alloys.
Mercedes-Benz learned the lesson first, and now, so has BMW. You can't put your vaunted badge on a crossover SUV with black bumpers, cut corners to keep the base price affordable, and expect to maintain premium brand credibility. The Mercedes M-Class has been true to its brand for a couple of generations. Now it's the BMW X3's turn.
BMW had a lot more to overcome. To try to make the '04 X3 handle like a tall sport sedan, the brand's engineers sacrificed ride. Like one of its competitors trying to capture the 3 Series' magical blend of ride and handling, BMW failed, and the X3 was far too harsh. A rushed, early-midcycle refresh improved the ride and added richer-looking body-colored bumpers, but the compact crossover still had a long way to go.
Specifically, it had seven years, the typical BMW model cycle. Though you won't mistake its sheetmetal as belonging on anything but an X3, the premium compact crossover is new from the ground up, sharing many components and basic architecture with the 3 Series. It's 3.3-inches longer, 0.4-inch wider (with slightly wider front and rear tracks, for better ride and handling) and half an inch lower, on a wheelbase lengthened 0.6 inch.
The Mark II X3 gets a new, five-link rear suspension and a two-link front suspension, with Dynamic Damping Control, which BMW says is a first in this segment. The new eight-speed automatic is standard in all North American models, and the xDrive 35i, with the turbo six, adds the "sport" automatic, featuring steering wheel shift controls and a sport setting that changes the gearshift points.
