The 2007 BMW X3’s most significant change for 2007, at least from a driving standpoint, lies under the hood, where the BMW X3 gets an updated 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, which it shares with the 3 Series. It uses the latest technology, like variable valve timing, to deliver 260 hp — 35 hp stronger than the engine in last year’s model.

The 2007 BMW X3 has a six-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous five-speed as a no-cost option. A six-speed manual transmission remains standard and is a nod to BMW's focus on sporty driving dynamics — few if any other compact Sports Utility Vehicles offer a six-speed manual transmission. BMW says the X3 fitted with the manual gearbox can hit 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. This is 0.7 seconds quicker than the 2006 model and only 0.8 ticks slower than the 330i sedan.

The 2007 BMW X3 has Exterior styling updates, which include a new bumper design, a larger kidney-shaped grille and revised headlamps up front. Perfect weight distribution (50 percent over the front wheels and 50 percent over the rear) and a center of gravity that is low for an SUV combine with a sophisticated four-wheel independent suspension to produce tenacious cornering abilities for a Sports Utility Vehicle.
