The BMW 3 Series has long been the standard-bearer of luxury sports sedans. Since 2003, the BMW X3 compact luxury crossover has been working hard to achieve that same status for its segment. By and large, it's accomplished that goal extremely well despite having formidable rivals like the Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.
Now in its third generation, the X3 has been refined and perfected over the years and is now at the top of its game. Currently offered in multiple trims and with optional all-wheel drive, the X3 is the ideal combination of luxury, sportiness, and status for millions of very satisfied owners. It looks equally at home when parked at Costco or a country club.
BMW kindly loaned us a 2022 X3 xDrive30i for a week-long test and, as expected, it delivered the goods. The xDrive30i comes standard with AWD and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This is the entry-level engine and, for less money, there's the rear-wheel-drive-only X3 sDrive30i powered by the same engine. Those looking for even more power can upgrade to the X3 M40i with its 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine.
Don't expect the X3, regardless of engine and RWD vs. AWD, to be a serious off-roader. It's not. What it can do is handle minor rough pavement situations, such as gravel roads and the like, snowy weather, and gentle inclines. Above all, it's a luxury performance SUV, or Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) as BMW likes to say. It is the 3 Series of SUVs.

For anyone still yearning for one of the quirky sedan/coupe/hatchback mashups, time is running short.
BMW noted in its full-range 2020 model year update last week that the 3 Series GT and 6 Series GT will not return.
The end of the 6 Series variants comes as no surprise as the 8 Series takes over flagship duties.
The German automaker telegraphed its intentions this past March when it noted the 3 Series GT would not receive a replacement.
Looking at the company's breadwinner models, the X3, X4, X5 and X6 are all slated to enter production this month before they start trickling into dealers across the US.
Each also costs at least $500 more than the 2019 model each replaces.
