The BMW E83 is the first generation of the BMW X3, produced from 2003 to 2010. It was BMW’s first compact luxury SUV, positioned below the X5, and combined everyday practicality with sporty driving dynamics.
Built on the 3 Series platform, the E83 offered xDrive all-wheel drive, a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines, and typical BMW handling. It was designed for drivers who wanted SUV versatility without sacrificing the feel of a sport sedan.
