The BMW F25 is the 2nd generation model of the BMW Sports Activity Series X3, on sale since 2010. The 2011 X3 was unveiled on July 14, 2010. The new car is larger than its E83 predecessor and is assembled in BMW's Spartanburg Plant, in Greer, South Carolina in a new manufacturing facility alongside the existing X5 and X6 assembly hall.
Power for the North American version of the X3 comes from BMWs' N52 3.0L Direct Injection I6 engine for the xDrive28i shared with the new F10 528i and BMWs' new N55 3.0L TwinPower Turbo (single turbo twin scroll) Direct Injection I6 engine for the xDrive35i as seen in its larger facelifted X5 sibling.
he X3 F25 has received high critical acclaim for its class-leading performance and efficiency with BMW's award-winning N55 engine and its second place standing on Ward's 2011 Best New Interiors, bested only by Audi's flagship A8. On November 1, 2011, the construction of the BMW X3 in its second generation was shown in the 5th season opener of Ultimate Factories.
