What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3

Price of the BMW X3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Very expensive for few features. It will quickly be overtaken by other entrants who have leather, auto tailgates, fold up mirrors, bluetooth, cameras, etc. for less money than the base X3. Lose the metal key please.
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive for what you get, particularly when compared to other vehicles.
2007 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 I believe the pricing is about 10% too high, especially when one considers adding options... also the dealer seems to have less margin to deal then other competitors (Lexus,Acura...etc...)
2006 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The base price is reasonable, but adding options quickly pushes the price north of $45K. Depreciation has been very high, mainly because of it being an SUV having to battle high gas prices.
2005 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The Ultimate Bank Account Drain
2004 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 insanely expensive 20K more than Vue

Price of the Audi A6 / S6: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan supercharged 300hp 3.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Pricey, especially with options, but no more so than its direct competition. Still cheaper than an equivalent M-B or BMW.
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not a lot of 26 year olds in my town are driving the car i have so i get looks allll the time. but anyway, Depending how much money you have to put down and make, will determine if u have a 500 $ payment since i was 11k upside down on my trade in.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Price is high...but all cars in this class have a high price. You get what you pay for. :)
2006 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Over $10k more than V70
2005 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Full price - no discounts or concessions
2004 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 it is a pricey car in an absolute sense but a good value vs. bmw 540
2003 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The car is was very expensive, and hence payments high.
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6
6-speed manual AWD		 It can be quite expensive, though a used A6 over 5 years old will drop in price dramatically and become an excellent deal.
