For 2009, the BMW X3 is offered in a single variant, now renamed the X3 xDrive 30i.
The X3 xDrive 30i uses a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine that is now mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission, instead of the six-speed manual that was the default choice for 2008.
Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, adaptive brake lights, heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers with heated washer jets, rear washer/wiper, rollover sensor, tire pressure warning system, self-charging keyless fob, privacy glass, roof rails, cruise control, heated multifunction leather-wrapped wheel, illuminated vanity mirrors, split-folding rear seats, power windows, heated eight-way power leatherette seats, and CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary input.
Available option packages add such features as a navigation system, panoramic sunroof, xenon headlamps, heated rear seats, premium sound package and an M sports package.
The X3 compares favourably to competitors in the premium midsize SUV segment, especially with the new level of standard features; it's nicely sized, comfortable and with an engine that works well in this envelope. The xDrive is a torque management system that switches seamlessly from rear- to all-wheel drive when necessary, and powers up or brakes a specific wheel before any start to lose their grip for proactive surefootedness in slippery conditions.

Units Affected:
587,250
Notification Type:
Inconsequential
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French.
Safety Risk:
This error does not affect vehicle safety.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Units Affected:
98,111
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles equipped with an N52 or N52K 6-cylinder engine, a manufacturing problem could cause the PCV valve heater (blow-by heater) to short circuit and overheat.
Note: This replaces Transport Canada recalls 2017-470 and 2019-170. Only vehicles equipped with an N52 or N52K engine require this repair.
Safety Risk:
An overheated engine PCV valve heater could create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a wire harness repair kit. BMW recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors until the recall repairs have been completed.

Manufacturer Recall Number:

Units Affected:
47
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
This recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair.
Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.
Safety Risk:
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag inflator. The driver-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant detection mat can fatigue over time. As a result, the passenger airbag could deactivate, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and the passenger airbag ON/OFF lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the occupant detection mat.

On certain vehicles equipped with the N52 6-cylinder engine, an electrical short could occur in the PCV valve heater due to manufacturing irregularities. If this occurs, the surrounding plastics could overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire, which could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the PCV valve heater.

On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflator or air bag module, depending on the vehicle model.

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Specifically, the compliance label does not indicate the wheel rim size, as required by the Standard. Correction: Due to the inconsequential nature of this non-compliance, no action will be taken.
