Based on the 3 Series Touring (Sportwagon), its size, weight and capabilities more closer match those of the X5. •m •n ■ L^l ■r-j Ll The chassis and many parts are taken either directly or in modified form from the E46/3-16 or the X5. Almost 35% of the parts were designed specifically for the X3. By extending the X family, BMW is strengthening its leading position in the field of on¬ road-orientated four-wheel drive SAV's geared towards outstanding driving performance. Production Due to the outstanding success of all models none of the present-day BMW plants cur¬ rently have sufficient capacity to produce the X3 in the intended quantities. The BMW Group has therefore entrusted Magna Steyr with the development and pro¬ duction of the E83. The vehicle concept has been devised by BMW engineers in Munich while production-vehicle development and production take place in Graz/Austria. Magna Steyr has already established a sound reputation with complete-vehicle develop¬ ments as well as with bodywork or drive train developments. It is above all in the 4WD sector that the Austrian's demonstrate an exceptional level of technical skill and competence. 3 E83 Complete Vehicle Even mass production is nothing new to Magna Steyr. All 4WD variants of the Mercedes E-Class, the Mercedes G-Model, the Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Chrysler Voyager have been rolling off the production lines in Graz to some extent for years. Magna Steyr has regularly received the best marks in quality inspections and tests, carried out by among others J. D. Power. Models The X3 is available with the 3.0 M54 engine and two versions of the 2.5 liter engine, the M54. A six speed manual transmission is standard on all X3’s with a 5-speed auto¬ matic optional. Technical Highlights • New four-wheel drive system with variable power distribution (xDrive) • Multifunctional panorama glass sunroof • Best-in-class ratio of power output and fuel efficiency The X3 (Red) is significantly larger than the 3 Series Sportwagon(Blue), but only slightly smaller than the X5 (Green).

Various reinforcement measures were necessary to guarantee the required level of rigidity - even in the event of a crash. Thus the front axle (2-joint spring strut as in the X5) is bolted at 8 points, the front end is stabilized with a suspension cross-brace (load factor higher than for the M3), seat cross¬ members and reinforcement plates in the B-pillars provide additional protection in the event of a side impact and the rear engine brackets are made of high-tensile but light "Trip 700" steel. The engine in the E83 is lower than in the E46. To ensure sufficient clearance for the manifold heat shield, the left engine bracket is shorter than the right. The hood has a side support to prevent it from moving in the event of a crash. Held in place in this way, the hood cannot jump out of its anchoring to damage the windshield. Body Shell The Bodyshell panels are stamped and assembled at Magna Steyr. Since the bodyshell is made completely of steel, there are few new procedures to observe with regards to repair and replacing parts of the body. To reduce weight, the front bulkhead (radiator support) of the X3 is made of a hybrid steel injection-molded with plastic. The air ducts are cast on. In the case of an accident this bulkhead must be replaced rather than repaired. The static rigidity of the X3 body is 20,000Nm/degree. 8 E83 Complete Vehicle 9 E83 Complete Vehicle Front Bumper The front bumper assembly consists of a 2 part panel, the support member and the deforming elements. The two panels are made of plastic and clipped and bolted together. The panels must be removed from the X3 individually with the outer panel being removed first. Attached to the chassis is the aluminum support member and deforming elements. Front Bumper Assembly Headlights Front Lights Halogen headlights are standard, bi-xenon with AHL optional. The headlights are mount¬ ed to the forward bulkhead with 4 screws. The fog lights are installed in the bumper trim and have adjustment screws accessible from the outside (front). Doors The door panels are attached with 5 screws. The trim on the pull handle must be removed to access the screws. The outside mirror is held to the door by 3 screws, the cover and mirror are clipped to the mirror assembly. 10 E83 Complete Vehicle Outside Mirrors n Exterior Door Handles The exterior door handle is a three-piece assembly. It consists of a mounting plate fitted from the inside, a handle recess plate fitted from the outside and the handle fitted and screwed onto the recess plate from the outside (access screw from outside - arrow). 1.

This will familiarize you before attempting “on vehicle” removal. After the demonstration is completed, proceed to “on vehicle” removal and installation. Caution: Lift handle until access hole (to screw) is exposed and insert tool to engage in screw, do not overtighten securing screw in either direction! 1. To remove door handle, turn screw counterclockwise against stop. Pull rear of handle up, pivot and pull handle off of front pin. 2. To install handle, position on front pin and swivel into place. Push rear of handle into socket (lightly) until it snaps in (slight resistance). Turn screw clockwise until it seats. Remove tool, release door handle. Workshop Exercise - Replace Painted Mirror Cover The customer complains that the mirror cover is scratched. The correct color cover has been ordered and received and now must be installed. 7. Is it possible to remove the painted cover without removing the mirror glass? 2. What is the proper procedure to remove the mirror glass? 3. What is the final step in removing the painted mirror cover? 12 E83 Complete Vehicle Interior The use of forms on the outside is continued on the inside. The X3 is characterized by modern styling down to the last detail (e.g. inwardly turning surfaces on the door handle) and a strong lifestyle direction. The two-tone color scheme and horizontal shapes con¬ vey lightness of touch, power and dynamics. Thanks to the use of diverse materials rang¬ ing from sporty aluminum to elegant leather or wood, ample freedom is given a high level of individualization. The interior concept has taken into account the specific demands made of an SAV. A rear bench seat for three rear passengers ensures that up to five persons can sit comfortably in their seats in the X3. Knee room of 61 cm provides particular comfort on top of the fold-out rear center armrest. The wide range of practical storage options, stowage compartments and mounting options in the passenger and luggage compartments can be extended still further with the option "storage package." The X3 is fitted as standard with 4 cup holders, map pockets with nets in the front doors and a 4.5-liter glovebox. The storage package features among others additional nets for the front and the luggage compartment, mounting rails with variable lashing points and a nonslip revolving floor for the luggage compartment. The luggage compartment capacity up to the height of the removable interior lid is 480 liters and with the rear bench seat folded down up to the height of the window edge is 930 liters. When the vehicle is loaded up to the height of the roofliner, a volume of 1560 liters becomes available. The single-part tailgate opens upwards, the loading sill is low and the rear bench seat can be folded in a ratio of 60 : 40. For carrying sports or leisure equipment, the list of options includes a ski bag, a holder for mountain bikes (up to two can be stowed inside the vehicle) and a roof rack. Heating/Air Conditioning System The heating and air conditioning systems are derived from the E46 and are adapted geo¬ metrically to the body of the E83. 13 E83 Complete Vehicle TKC3-35S5 Communications/Entertainment All the technical highlights familiar to BMW can also be ordered for the X3. Park Distance Control, cut-off ultrasonic interior movement detector, bi-xenon headlights and the recently introduced adaptive headlight are featured in the list of optional extras. Hi-Fi and navigation systems (with pop-up monitor and DVD) and the telecommunications system (Bluetooth interface) represent cutting edge technology. The CD changer - for the first time in a BMW - is integrated in the center con¬ sole for particular ease of use. Panorama Glass Sunroof One of the highlights of the X3 is a fully automatic, two-part panorama glass sunroof with an area of almost one square metre. Its front window section can be fully opened while both window sections can also be tilted rearward. The panorama glass sunroof affords an outstanding view for the rear occupants and, when fully opened, lends the vehicle the impression of being almost a Convertible. 14 E83 Complete Vehicle System Components The panorama glass sunroof assembly consists of the following components: Panorama Glass Sunroof control unit, MDS 2 Drive Motors 2 Part floating headliner 2 Glass covers Power Supply K-Bus Interface Wind deflector MDS The MDS is a further development of the slide/tilt sunroof module fitted to the E 65. The MDS contains the following components: • Control Electronics • K-Bus Interface • Drive motor Relay • Hall Sensor Power Supply The drive motors are connected to the MDS by a 10 pin connector. The remaining components are connect¬ ed via a 16 pin connector. 2. MDS 3. LSZ 4. GM5RD 5. Door Contacts 6. FZV 7. Driver’s Door Lock 8. Motor 9. Motor Drive Motors The motor is a DC motor. The hall sensors are integrated in the motors to detect motor revolutions.

The headliner is interlocked to the function of the glass roofs. The headliner must be opened before the glass sunroof will open. On closing the glass sunroof must be closed before the headlin¬ er can be closed. Glass Covers Two glass covers are installed in the panorama sunroof. Six. bolts secure the front glass to the frame and four bolts secure the rear glass. Power Supply and K-Bus Interface The MDS acts as the power supply module for both the sunroof motor and the headliner motor. Communication with the rest of the car is through the K-Bus. The MDS receives and transmits K- Bus messages. 1. Front glass sunroof 2. Rear glass sunroof 3. Front Floating Headliner 4. Rear Floating Headliner Wind Deflector The wind deflector is cable operated by the rear (headliner) motor. System Operation Operation of the panorama sunroof is similar to the conventional slide/tilt sunroof. It func¬ tions both as a tilting sunroof and a slide/tilt sunroof. The rear glass only tilts, the front glass slides and tilts. Rear tilt is possible only when the front glass is also tilted.The GM5RD signals the MDS for convenience opening and closing of the panorama glass sunroof. The panorama glass sunroof is operated as follows: Headl Headl Headl Headl Headl Headl ner and glass sunroof Closed. ner closed, front and rear glass in tilt position (Headliner goes to vent position), ner open, sunroof closed. ner open, sunroof opened manually. ner open, sunroof opened to comfort position (Via one touch opening), ner open, sunroof opened fully (Beyond comfort position). 16 E83 Complete Vehicle TEDK1313 Control Button Movement Panorama Glass Sunroof Positions Manual opening of panorama glass sunroof by sliding button to first detente position Floating headliner of glass tilt sunroof and slide/tilt sunroof are opened until the control button is released.

IX~1 i-i.: ro n i n cz- Front glass of panorama sunroof will move from comfort position to fully open position. After opening panorama glass sunroof via one touch, the sunroof may be opened fully (rather than the comfort position) by sliding the control button to the first detente and holding. 3) m 19 E83 Complete Vehicle Floating Headliner Opening On opening the front part of the headliner moves over the rear part of the floating headlin¬ er. The special feature of the floating headliner is that it can be opened fully without the sun¬ roof being open or tilted. Vent Mode When the panorama glass sunroof is moved into the tilt position, the floating headliner is moved into the vent position. The vent position reduces the suction effect at high road speeds. Wind Deflector The wind deflector is regulated according to road speed. When the sunroof is opened the wind deflector remains in the down position until road speed is seen by the MDS. Then the wind deflector is placed in the extended position. At roads speeds greater than 140km/h (84mph) it is retracted to an intermediate position. If the road speed drops below 10Okm/h, the wind deflector is again raised. fJ r rp rfl t" 20 E83 Complete Vehicle TE03 3509 Initialization Initialization must be performed on the panorama glass sunroof anytime the MDS looses positioning of the glass panels or the headliner or if the any component of the sunroof assembly is replaced. The control button is pressed and held in the position to tilt the sunroof. Initialization begins approximately 15 seconds after pressing the button. The initialization process may take over 2 minutes to perform. Note: The control button MUST be held in the tilt position during the entire initializa¬ tion process. Failure to hold the button will result in the initialization procedure to be cancelled. During initialization the panorama sunroof will operate as follows: • Both sunroof panels enter tilt position(Headliners enter Vent Mode) • Both Headliners open • Both sunroof panels lower • The front sunroof panel opens then closes • Both Headliners close Anti-Trapping Protection Both the covers and the floating headliners are fitted with anti-trap protection. If the MDS detects something in the path, the appropriate motor is stopped and activated in the reverse direction. Service Notes The motors may be replaced individually. An initialization procedure is required after replacing one or both of the motors The MDS control unit my be replaced separately. The panorama glass sunroof must be recoded and initialized after MDS replacement. 21 E83 Complete Vehicle Workshop Exercise - Panorama Glass Sunroof The customer has complained of a stained rear sunroof headliner.
