The BMW X3 is a popular SUV that has been in production since 2003, based on the BMW 3 Series platform. Currently in its third generation, the X3 is marketed by BMW as a Sports Activity Vehicle, part of the company's X-line luxury vehicles. The first-generation X3 was a collaboration between BMW and Magna Steyr in Austria, where all X3s were produced. The second-generation X3 was manufactured at BMW's Spartanburg plant in the United States. With the third generation, production of the X3 also began at BMW South Africa's Rosslyn plant, following a significant upgrade to accommodate X3 production alongside the Spartanburg facility.
