2 Answers
BMW X3 has both imported and domestically produced versions. The domestically produced version is manufactured by BMW Brilliance. Positioning of BMW X3: The BMW X3 is an SUV model with unique personality, introducing the new concept of SUV Sports Activity Vehicle, and equipped with BMW's patented xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system. The interior space of the BMW X3 can accommodate 5 people, a large amount of luggage, and sports equipment. Relevant data of BMW X3: The model dimensions are 4648mm x 1881mm x 1661mm. The fuel tank capacity is 67L. The top speed can reach 240km/h. The fuel consumption is 11.2L/100km. The curb weight is 1805kg. The maximum power has three different calibrations depending on the model: 184 horsepower (xDrive25i), 224 horsepower (xDrive28i), and 252 horsepower (xDrive30i).
I did a lot of homework when buying a car and found that the BMW X3 in China is indeed produced by the BMW Brilliance joint venture, a collaboration project between BMW and China's Brilliance Group, specializing in the manufacturing of domestically produced models. The domestic version of the X3 has obvious price advantages, saving on import taxes, and can be purchased for just over 300,000 yuan, which is significantly cheaper than the imported version. Maintenance is also easier, with local parts readily available. My car has been running for two years without any major issues. The BMW Brilliance factory controls quality according to BMW's global standards, with core components like the engine and chassis being imported, only assembled in China. If you're after a pure German import, the X5 or X7 would be more suitable, but for a practical SUV like the X3, the domestic version offers much better value for money, and the money saved is enough to cover several years of fuel costs.
