2005 BMW X3 3.0i (Video Clip)

The automotive market is vast. There are millions of people in North America buying new cars every year. These consumers must make their choice amidst a selection of approximately 275 different vehicles. It is obviously difficult to please everyone but some manufacturers stick their necks out a little further in the attempt to please a smaller amount with a particular product. Some fail miserably and others form a whole new segment. BMW was one of the first manufacturers to really put the emphasis on the sport portion of the SUV name. The X5, which became a runaway hit, spawned many replies from other carmakers. BMW then launched a reduced copy of the X5 to stay on top of the game.
