2010 BMW X3 xDrive30i M Sport

Description

The BMW X3 debuted in 2004 as the brand’s first compact luxury crossover SUV, designed to combine the agility of a sports sedan with the practicality of an SUV. Marketed as a “Sports Activity Vehicle,” the X3 quickly earned a reputation for sharp handling, premium build quality, and versatile cargo space.

By 2010, the final year of the first-generation E83 model, BMW had refined the formula with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine, standard xDrive all-wheel drive, and a host of available packages including M Sport and Premium. Reviewers praised the X3 for its excellent handling, pleasing power delivery, and high-quality cabin, while MotorTrend noted that it “offered something no one else had—the versatility of a sport-utility combined with the quality, performance, and handling of a BMW.”

This particular 2010 BMW X3 xDrive30i, finished in classic Titanium Silver Metallic over Black Nevada leather, is a well-equipped example with the desirable M Sport Package and Premium Package. With just over 70,000 miles on the odometer and a history of regular maintenance, it’s a clean and confident driver.
