The 2012 BMW X3 Series offers luxury, versatility, and great performance all in one stylish package. With two different models available, drivers can select according to their specific needs.
No matter which trim you select, you'll enjoy xDrive all-wheel drive to help you maintain control and traction. Dynamic stability control and servotronic vehicle speed-sensitive power steering are additional features that maintain safe and reliable driving. Brake energy regeneration also converts kinetic energy into electric energy, which is used to recharge the battery. Four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes and gas-pressurized shock absorbers are equipped to provide smooth performance.
The interior of the BMW X3 Series offers power-adjustable seats with leatherette trim and driver side memory functions so drivers can store the settings to their favorite positions. For the safety of children onboard, LATCH is included as a standard feature. The interior additionally features a three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel with mounted controls for audio, cruise, and phone. All passengers are welcome to enjoy the ride and listen to music on a 12-speaker audio system with AM/FM radio, a CD player, and MP3 compatibility. For even more convenience, automatic climate control with micro-filter and air recirculation, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and power windows are equipped in all models as well.
