2012 BMW X3 consumer reviews

I have owned the original X3 and followed up with this model. The second generation is certainly a few steps above as far as comfort, style and driving performance. 2012 is the last year the 28i is powered by the 3.0L inline 6. Acceleration is great after getting the software update. Prior to it, I had the aggravating slow response met with a rush of acceleration. The software update has smoothed out the throttle greatly. The ride is super comfortable for day to day as well as trips. I have taken this car on long trips a few times this year and it is great on gas, very comfortable seats and great visibility. It is easy to park and has a tight turning circle. The handling feels like the 3 series sedan! Going up and down hills and mountainsides feels secure. Feature wise, I fully recommend the backup camera and parking sensors as well as the heated seats/steering wheel. Cargo space is adequate for this class and three average sized adults can fit in the backseat comfortably. I will say that BMW has this peculiar way of stripping the cars down in the past 10 years and labeling it as "customization." You notice the small things such as no puddle lights on my particular car, as well as having to get packages for an improved interior/exterior. Another example is if you do not get the Navigation, you do not get the nicely done, upscale graphics on the speedometer area. You have to add leather, a sunroof, heated seats, etc. My older BMW's had a lot of these more common features standard. If you buy this car used, be sure to pay attention to the features and how it was optioned. Overall, the car has been very reliable and a joy to drive!

Excellent car, and great price , with low miles ! Met my expectations, I really recommend shopping at Reo motors, they service my vehicle after a month of purchase!

The car had approximately 82,500 miles and should last double that. We bought a late model BMW for our grandsons first car. We wanted a car know to last.

I purchased the x3 35i. It’s comfortable and when need power, the engine is effortless. It’s fast. But when I purchased it, there is something like knocking sound on the front. Might be the ball joint, but I went to 2 car inspections, nothing is wrong.

Great price , great car , great team, incredible quality, would recommend to anyone looking for a great deal for a car and team to work with!

The water pump should not should not stop working around 89000-90000 km. I bought 2012 Bmw x3 28i through private deal with 89000 kms on it . within 3 months engine was heating up, after checking through certified mechanic, water pump needed to be replaced. front leather Seats are also cracking , I wonder if the seat are really made of real leather or something man made.

Zero to sixty in about 5.5 seconds, while sitting in a luxurious cabin with everything you could want. The 6 cylinder version will whip you back when you step on the gas

Spacious, comfortable, love the front and back heated seats ! I love the sporty look, this is my dream car ! A couples of my friends drive it also but I must say add a warranty because it gets expensive.

I’ve owned 2 of these 2011 BMW X3 with 2.8 six cylinder normally aspirated engines. They never burn oil. The gas mileage could be better. I get 23 mpg. It’s fun to drive. And it’s been pretty affordable. Changed the spark plugs at 60,000 miles and brakes at 80,000.

I love this car! It's comfortable, fun to drive, and looks so pretty! Also, very reliable! I would definitely buy this car again and again!
