Product Overview

BMW X3 E83 LCI is a compact crossover in production from 2006 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-LCI model, the E83 LCI introduced the N52 I6 petrol and N47 I4 diesel engines while preserving the M57 I6 diesel and the N46 I4 petrol. Interestingly, BMW rebadged the engines in 2008, arguably to confuse the consumers.
