Looking for something new and think a sports utility vehicle, or an SUV, is what you need? Why not try a Sports Activity Vehicle®, or SAV®, instead? An SAV®, like the BMW X3, is all about capability. Not just off-road performance, but all-around, enhanced, sporting capability.
So, why should Meridian, Philadelphia, and Laurel, MS, drivers try out an SAV®, like the BMW X3? Our team at BMW of Meridian has all the answers below.
We did say it was all about performance capabilities, right? Let’s look at what really earns the BMW X3 the SAV® title. Behind the four available trim levels of the X3 are three high-powered engines.

To maximize efficiency and give you the smoothest ride possible, the engines of the X3 are paired with an 8-speed STEPTRONIC Sport Automatic transmission. Rides are made even better with Driving Dynamics Control, including three specifically designed drive modes: ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT.
The X3, despite being designed like an SUV, moves like a sedan thanks to its impeccable weight distribution. The intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system helps you conquer anything the road ahead throws at you.
Additionally, the combination of electric power steering, Servotronic power-steering assist, Dynamic Stability Control, and Dynamic Traction Control, the X3 moves and feels unlike any other vehicle of its size.
Rounding out the comfortably spacious interior cabin of the BMW X3 is a slew of advanced technology to keep you and your passengers connected and entertained.
The X3 is available with a pair of screens: a 10.25-inch central information display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster placed above the steering wheel. Through those screens, you won’t just be able to view all your vehicle’s information, but you can access a number of additional connective and integrative apps.
In terms of those apps, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ lead the way. Some additional connectivity and infotainment features you’ll find available inside the X3 include:
With the BMW Connected App, you can access all your vehicle’s information from your smartphone. You can also take advantage of additional features, like the Remote 3D view, so you can keep an eye on your X3 no matter where you are.
The technology of the BMW X3 also plays a major role when it comes to the protection and safety of you and your passengers. A great example of that is the standard Active Driving Assistant suite.
Through that, your X3 will be equipped with a number of intuitive safety features, like Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Frontal Collision Warning.
The X3 comes standard with additional safety features. A Rear-view Camera, Park Distance Control, front and rear Head Protection System, and Active Protection System are just a few of the standard functions that make up the brilliant, advanced safety of the X3.
