What you’ll really feel is the power once seated behind the wheel of the BMW X3 M40i, a practical SUV with impressive features in this configuration. The proven and trusted 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine is what you’ll find under the hood, and a big smile is what you’ll find in your face while driving it.

BMW has a very consistent design language across all of its vehicles, no surprises here, a svelte stylish body with the iconic double kidney grill that defines the brand. It looks like special attention was taken in the interior design, the all digital instrument cluster is very impressive as is the fine leather and metal inserts across the board.

You’ll definitely find your ideal drive setting in the X3, Sport, Comfort, Eco Pro and Adaptive are the four drive styles available, each one with their own flavor. Featuring a bird eye view in the center screen is a fantastic idea, not only you’ll feel more confident while parking, it may save you from nasty scratches.

The X3 M40i is the perfect balance between the wide range of SUV’s offered by BMW, if the price is a bit over your budget, the X3 30i is an excellent compromise.

Base MSRP: $54,500
