High fidelity - any time, any place. The optional BMW Professional HiFi system's powerful output, excellent seven-band equaliser and ten high-quality speakers provide audio pleasure with impeccable sound quality. Carver technology supplies superb bass playback, even at low volumes. Equally captivating is the optional audio speaker system featuring eight speakers and two subwoofers.
The perfect travel companion: BMW's DVD system enables you to play DVDs and audio CDs in your X3. Gaming consoles or video cameras can be attached easily via the RCA socket. The optional Advanced DVD system includes 7-inch, anti-glare colour screens integrated into the front seats and a six-disc DVD changer in the boot. An infra-red remote control and two cordless stereo headphones are also included in the package.
All BMW X3 models come equipped with the Radio BMW CD audio system as standard: 4 x 25 watt power output and power insert/eject CD drive. The optional radio BMW Business CD delivers equal power along with antenna diversity, an auxiliary socket and a connection for a CD changer.
The Professional navigation system features a 16:9 monitor that folds out of the centre console and can be optionally fitted with a TV function. The high-resolution screen is ergonomically positioned in the driver and front passenger\'s field of vision. Whenever the car is parked, it offers glare-free TV viewing, whatever the weather.
Unexpected and abrupt head and neck movements carry a high risk of injury during rear-end collisions. Intelligent headrests help to significantly reduce this risk: during an impact to the rear of the vehicle they move forward within 20 milliseconds to protect passengers' heads as they jolt backwards.
It only takes a few kilometres to realise just how snugly the M leather steering wheel fits in the driver's hands. The thumbrests and highly contoured rim make the wheel easy to grip and a pleasure to turn. The shortened gearshift lever is also sheathed in leather ensuring dynamic driving with every gear change.
The optional sports seats in the BMW X3 provide optimum lateral support, thanks to highly contoured seat sides. With full individual adjustment of seat height, backrest angle, seat angle, forward/backward position and thigh support for driver and front passenger, the sports seats deliver ideal individual support for a more dynamic driving style. And outstanding quality awaits you in the craftsmanship, too, because good design is the perfect interplay of seamless parts.
