| X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003. |

It's not that bad actually (quote from my dad) but if you're really into a nice, smooth take-off, the 4.4i is nice...
 ...then again, if you want a rocket, the 4.6is is in a league of it's own  The 3.0 isn't as bad as you think it would be and if it is, you can always add on the S/C for it and have it put out similar #'s to the 4.4

well... it's not as good as a 325i...
it probably has the worst pickup outta any BMW sold in the US, still, it's pretty decent. It'll do everyday driving fine, just dont' drag race with it

It is quite snappy.

The 318i block we used to use was absolutely standard up to 1100bhp. But if we took the wastegate off, that was really hanging the engine out. If it made a lap, it made 1300 horsepower.
But we often broke an engine in half lengthways. -Article on Paul Rosche's turbocharged BMW F1 engine.
