BMW is a competitor with fellow German vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen who produces the luxury Audi line that can be found at a Peoria VW Dealer. Although the 2011 BMW X3 may look like previous X3 model, it has several new additions. The model features a joystick styled gear shifter and optional Xenon light bulbs. The interior features a 9 inch iDrive screen and a new steering wheel.
The vehicle has several of the latest safety and technology features for its suspension, transmission, and steering. The high performance X3 xDrive35i model goes from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds.
Cargo room in the model is 19 cubic feet. The powertrain is a 3.0 liter inline six that has 240 horsepower and 230 lb/feet of torque, so the model is no slacker in terms of power. The X3 xDrive35i features a 300 horsepower engine with 300 lb/feet of torque for more performance.
The new BMW will be produced at a Spartangburg, South Carolina plant, one of the only BMW plants in the United States. The model will be released toward the end of 2010 and it is expected to be a major SUV crossover seller in the United States where other BMW models have sold very well over the past year.
