BMW X3
BMW’s first-ever SUV has been gracing our roads for several years already. To set it apart from the new X1, the X3 has been entirely revamped for 2012. Two engines are offered: a 3.0L inline-6 producing 240 hp and a 3.0L turbo producing 300 hp. Either way, the transmission is an 8-speed automatic.
