Glad I spent the extra dollars!

March 1, 2021
By Rick from Novi, MI
Owns this car

This vehicle has has taken my wife and me cross-country, as well as several other long distance trips, with a sum total of only one flat tire and no other mechanical, nor electrical issues at all! Any repairs have been moderate and frankly expected given the high number of miles (150,000 so far) on it. I expect to keep it for another year and a half.

Its the most annoying car I've ever owned

November 23, 2020
By Linda from Gurnee, IL
Owns this car

The car is ok, but it has the most uncomfortable seats on the market. Not sure why BMW can't upgrade the seats and make them more adjustable. Not everyone who drives a BMW is a 6ft guy but they build the seats and driving position as if they are.

Husband’s Dream

November 18, 2020
By New BMW Owner from Mullica Hill, NJ
Owns this car

Husband has wanted a BMW since the 1980’s. Other priorities in life happened, so there you go. Fast forward to August 2020. Time to trade in the tired 2012 Ford Escape. Dealership has a 2014 BMW X3 25i in blue water metallic. Sold! Comfortable, QUICK!, with navigation, parking sensors/backup camera, heated steering wheel, etc. This is a gas sipper considering it takes premium fuel. Not a fan of the brake dust that turns the beautiful front wheels black, but we just keep up with cleaning them. So far so good. Seems to be reliable so far despite the reviews on the exorbitant maintenance costs German cars incur “when they get older”. This will be driven by retired husband about 2-3 times a week, so hopefully it will treat us well on maintenance costs. Bought a one owner, 72,000 miles, regular maintenance performed BMW, and to be honest, it’s not just husband that loves it!😀 Documented)
