The 2012 BMW X3 is a five-passenger compact luxury crossover SUV. Your NJ BMW X3 dealer offers the X3 in two trim levels that correspond to the engine: the xDrive28i and the xDrive35i.
For the US, the entry-level X3 xDrive28i features BMW’s award-winning magnesium/aluminum 3.0-liter inline-6. Its magnesium/aluminum construction, Valvetronic variable valve lift, and Double-VANOS are features found only on BMW engines, and it is currently the lightest six cylinder engine for its size class in the world.
The N52 in the X3 is rated at 240 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 221 lb-ft of torque between 2,600 and 3,000 rpm. That’s enough raw power to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds.
As the new top model, the X3 xDrive35i features BMW’s newest turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 “N55” engine combining direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbo technology and Valvetronic. The N55 engine develops a maximum output of 300 hp at 5,800 rpm, with peak torque of 300 lb-ft available all the way from 1,200–5,000 rpm. Redline is 7,000 rpm. This engine enables the X3 xDrive35i to sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 5.5 seconds.
The design of the new 2012 BMW X3, for sale in Rochelle Park, conveys elegance, agility and ruggedness. Up front, the forward-slanting BMW kidney grille and large headlight assembly combine with a powerful-looking front apron and hood-boasting six contour lines that sweep down to meet at the kidney grill, giving the X3 a bold presence.
The twin round headlights combined with the round fog lamps form the triangular light pattern that is characteristic of the BMW SAV design. The upper edge of the headlight assembly sports an accentuating chrome trim, creating the focused design representative of BMW vehicles.
BMW’s signature “Corona Rings” are again illuminated to function as the daytime running lights. When equipped with the optional Xenon headlights, the Corona Rings and daytime running lights are illuminated by bright white LEDs.
A generous and versatile spatial concept, high-grade materials and a characteristic three-dimensional surface design provide the interior of the new BMW X3 with a modern, premium ambience and intelligent functionality. The horizontal lines of the instrument panel accentuate the width of the interior.
NJ BMW X3 owners will enjoy a driver-orientated cockpit, a poster child of BMW design. This is further cemented by the asymmetrically designed center console. The Central Display of the optional navigation system with fourth generation BMW iDrive is harmoniously integrated into the instrument panel.
The raised seating position facilitates egress and ingress, while providing outstanding outward visibility. The three rear seats offer outstanding comfort for NJ BMW X3 passengers traveling long distances and significantly more leg and elbow room than its predecessor.
With EU-measured cargo volume between 19 and 56.6 cu.ft (550 and 1,600 liters), the luggage compartment of the new BMW X3 is the largest in its segment. At the same time, the versatility with which available space can be adapted to suit each personal requirement is also unrivalled.
