BMW X3 3.0si 2007

BMW X3 3.0si 2007 - Est-ce qu'on s'entend pour dire qu'un Suburban, ce n'est pas sportif ? Et, au contraire, sommes-nous d'accord sur le fait qu'un Grand Cherokee SRT8, avec ses 420 chevaux mais une capacité de remorquage de 1588 kilos seulement, n'est pas très utilitaire ?

Le X3 ne donne pas sa place en termes de performances. Grâce aux 260 chevaux que développe son moteur à 6 cylindres en ligne de 3 litres, les accélérations sont bonnes sans être foudroyantes. Il s'agit d'un excellent moteur qui offre une belle sonorité et avec lequel j'ai maintenu une moyenne de consommation respectable de 12,9 litres aux 100 kilomètres.

La boîte de vitesses manuelle à 6 rapports fonctionne à merveille, et la pédale d'embrayage est moins lourde que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Le moteur est tellement doux qu'il m'est arrivé à deux occasions de rouler sur l'autoroute sur le cinquième rapport et d'oublier que la boîte en comportait un sixième.

La suspension sport nous force, évidemment, à faire un compromis en termes de confort. Pas de problème sur l'autoroute, mais en conduite urbaine, le X3 n'arrête jamais de brasser. Le camion réagit à la moindre imperfection de la chaussée, ce qui devient irritant après quelques jours. Personnellement, je passerais probablement mon tour sur l'ensemble Sport M à 3 200 $, qui propose un réglage plus ferme des amortisseurs. Il s'agit là d'un constat déjà fait au cours d'essais précédents du X3, et ça s'applique également pour cet essai.

La ressemblance familiale se poursuit dans l'habitacle. Le tableau de bord sobre reçoit des garnitures de bois, et l'agencement des couleurs des sièges et des panneaux de porte est très réussi. Cependant, il y a trop de boutons noirs similaires au tableau de bord, ce qui rend l'utilisation des commandes complexe sur la route.

L'ensemble Confort ajoute des sièges à réglages multiples, articulés dans le milieu du dossier pour mieux convenir à toutes les formes de dos. Je les adore, même si l'on doit débourser 2 400 $ supplémentaires pour se les procurer. L'ensemble offre également des sièges chauffants à l'arrière, ce qui plaira aux passagers covoiturant avec vous durant les journées froides d'hiver. Puisqu'on parle du siège arrière, notons que la place du centre n'est pas très confortable.

C'est la troisième fois que je roule durant une tempête de neige dans un véhicule BMW muni du système de traction intégrale xDrive. La chaussée est glissante ? Pas de problème : écrasez l'accélérateur du X3, et le camion décolle comme s'il plantait ses griffes dans le sol pour se donner un air d'aller. Il faut dire que BMW a pris soin d'installer d'excellents (et dispendieux) pneus d'hiver sur ce camion d'essai.

Le X3 se déplace principalement grâce à la propulsion; toutefois, quand il détecte une perte d'adhérence, le xDrive distribue davantage de couple aux roues qui offrent la meilleure motricité. Tout est imperceptible pour le conducteur; toutefois, quand on constate qu'on avance beaucoup plus aisément que les autres voitures sur la route, on s'aperçoit vite que le xDrive fait son travail. De plus, un témoin clignote au tableau de bord pour vous en aviser.

On peut considérer les Acura RDX, Infiniti FX35, Land Rover LR2 et Lexus RX 350 comme étant des rivaux de taille. Évidemment, on peut également en profiter pour jeter un coup d'oeil à la 328xi Touring, tant qu'à être dans la salle d'exposition de BMW.

Le X3 3.0si est un choix intéressant pour ceux qui cherchent un mélange de conduite sportive et de polyvalence toutes saisons. Il coûte cher, mais il a de la gueule et vous procure un agrément de conduite que vous ne croyiez pas possible dans un tel véhicule. Si les compétences purement sportives d'un VUS sont plus importantes pour vous que les compétences purement utilitaires, le X3 mérite votre attention.
