About the X3 (E83)

The E83 was the first-generation X3, a compact SUV made from 2003 to 2010 and based on the 3 Series platform. It was designed with Magna Steyr of Graz, Austria, which built every one, and it was the first BMW to use the xDrive name for its all-wheel drive.

What these manuals cover

  • Petrol: the 2.0i (N46), and the six-cylinder 2.5i, 3.0i, 2.5si and 3.0si (M54, N52).
  • Diesel: the 2.0d (M47T2, N47) and the six-cylinder 3.0d and 3.0sd (M57).

Tip: these are BMW factory manuals, listed by model, engine and body rather than by year. The code in brackets is the engine (M54, N52 and so on), and the last word is the body: SAL saloon, TOUR Touring (estate), COUPE, CONVER convertible, COMP Compact (hatchback), ROADST roadster, OFFRD for the X models.
