X3 Weak Link No Longer: BMW's new CUV makes convincing case with emotive sheet metal, world-class engines

摘要

BMW AG HAS A WEAK LINK IN ITS PRODuct chain, but not for long. Its X3 cross/utility vehicle arrived in 2004 and earned respect with 34,983 deliveries in 2005. But it's essentially been downhill ever since. The aged X3 was in no shape to hold its position in 2009 when the Audi Q5, Cadillac SRX, Mercedes GLK and Volvo XC60 all arrived new to the market.
