There were two auto transmissions used in the E83 X3. Early models had a GM 5 speed. I believe that was through 2006. The later 3.0si (also 2010 xdrive30i) models used a GM 6 speed along with the new, more powerful N52 engine. I only have experience with the 6 speed. I can say I wasn't a fan of it until I recently had fluid and filter service done at the dealer at 120k miles. I can now say it's perfectly acceptable. Still none of those compare with the ZF 8 speed that started seeing wide usage around 2010-11. In the X3 it debuted with the F25 series in 2011.
