Had the car for about 6 years and only had a few minor

Had the car for about 6 years and only had a few minor updates that were very easy to do myself. Have the look and feel of a newer/nicer bmw with fraction price and way easier to work on yourself.

Just stopped working without warning

The car was good to me for 3 yrs always did the maintenance on time. 6 months ago while at a gas station it just decided it wasn't going to start anymore. No check engine light nothing. New battery, new starter, ews ring, ignition switch still no start.

Great commuter car

The car was excellent for my commute to work. Great car to have around if you need to pick up large items. Very spacious inside.

Just had a test drive

I had my first test drive and was impressed. I will own my second bmw in two days. The spacious leg room, bucket seats, sunroof, well worth the $$$

It is a great car and drives remarkably.

Such a phenomenal car. Met all of my needs and even some of my wants! Drives smooth and downshifts without even noticing. Highly recommend for anybody even slightly interested. You will not regret getting this car!

Reliable car.

Has been a great SUV for me, never had to do any major repairs on it as well. Has a lot of life left, will run until it dies.

Reliable, Fast, And Looks Good

This car is fast, the exterior and interior is what you'd expect in a BMW, it is fast, and is a smooth ride. Nothing put good things to say! Expect repairs are expensive.
