Great midsize SUV

It has most of the bells and whistles i was looking for. Only missing 1 or 2 extra options to be happier. Very fun to drive

Wonderful car.

This is a wonderful car with great gas mileage. It has great pick-up along with very conservative MPG.

My second X3, and won't be my last

Absolutely perfect for reliability, cargo space, speed and overall mojo! the X3 is also a good choice for drivers who need extra traction in inclement weather.

Engine replaced at 68,000 miles at the tune of $18

Original loved my car until, I continued to have the same problem "low oil pressure". Problem began at 58k. BMW diagnoses didn't fix the problems until I had dump 8k and the new 18k engine.

Beautiful Drive Experience

It took me alot of time to test drive and see others before I bought this car. There were several factors. Great drive experience, Price, Maintenance, Modern looks, comfort, Options. I didnt want to spend a fortune on buying a brand new one but I wanted the drive satisfaction and neat look which can only come from a new one so it was a dilemma. I drove many SUVs, prepared two excel sheets: one comparing dimensions, HP, features, models and another one I created an yearly price depreciation db for each finalized ones. In the end I was down to 4/5 cars as finalist but finding a good condition used at below market [=dealer] price was challenge. But After this purchase I am satified. I enjoy the ride very much, I got the negotiated price as I bought from a private seller and condition is excellent and worth to mention the mileage is much less that what similar year cars dealers were offering. All in all the car is super drive, good leg room for me [6' height] [I found out sedans are not for me as I had to literally lie down and my legs going straight in while the seat pushed all the way back]. Car engine and pick is responsive although a six cylinder version would be more sporty but may be next time in few years.!!!

Perfect Family car

Drives awesome, never a single issue. Great value when it comes to finding a perfect balance between luxury, reliability, costs of maintenance and fuel consumption. This SUV is flawless in bad weather and especially great in snow.

Overall am cautiously impressed

I bought my 2.8 x-drive used with 30k miles from a BMW dealer for half what it was new. I've put over 11,000 trouble free miles on it so far. I brought it in for service and asked them to check major items since I only had one month left on the warranty. They had it for almost a minute nth, oil chain replacement requiring engine removal. It's been my only concern since I've owned it. I'm hoping it will continue to be a pleasure to drive. I love everything about it!
