The BMW X3, the world’s first small, premium Sports Activity Vehicle, has been a best seller for BMW since being introduced in 2004.  While many automakers have tried to follow the X3 with entries of their own into the segment, few have been able to keep pace.

Keeping up just got more challenging.

The all-new, second-generation X3 has arrived at Checkered Flag BMW, one of the leading dealers serving Virginia Beach BMW shoppers.

Virginia Beach BMW Dealer Has X3

In the most literal sense, keeping up will prove difficult thanks to the naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter inline six in the X3 xDrive 28i and the turbocharged version of the same engine in the X3 xDrive 35i.  The engine in the xDrive 28i is among the lightest, fastest and most responsive 6-cylinder engines in the class with 240 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.  The xDrive 35i, meanwhile, wields even more power and agility with 300 horsepower and a trip from 0-60mph in just 5.5 seconds.

To fully take advantage of that power, the X3 makes use of xDrive Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.  This innovative system keeps the X3 under complete control in any conditions by sensing changes in the road and reacting almost instantly.

The X3 will offer top performance, but also the best fuel consumption and emission levels in its class, yet another way the newest X3 will put distance between itself and the competition.

The 2011 X3 adds more refinement with an incredibly quiet cabin.  Free from road noise, passengers can easily carry on conversation or enjoy their favorite music streamed wirelessly via Bluetooth from their smartphone or MP3 player.  The X3 comfortably seats five and is well-equipped to carry their belongings as well with folding rear seats and between 19 and 56.6 cubic feet of space.

Needless to say, Virginia Beach BMW customers can expect more from the 2011 BMW X3.
