My worst car I choosed in my life

Very unreliable. Over 18 months of owning 2.5 months in dealership to repair for 5 different issue. The connected drive system is complete disaster with lots of software bugs. It disconnects from your phone and the idrive reset during your drive. The people in customer service and service department trained to act like a machine. You think you are talking with a robot. My experience change BMW car from dream car to a car that I don't want have it after I finish with this one.

Very magnificent ride.

My wife loves it, I love it. Very reliable. Quick take off very great on the hwy on gas . Very enjoyable . The only thing that she doesn’t like is it’s not quiet you can hear the outside noise. But overall it is great.

Great proformance SUV, 1 serious problem

Best high performance SIV I have owned, better than my last Mercedes AMG! Only had one problem with rear differential axels causing vibrations. Took 3 months for German parts and repair, love the SUV except fir that and it was/is a design problem fixed in the 2019’s. Going to trade it in 2020 for new X3 “M” I hear is coming. Again great SUV only wished BMW would of let all us X3 M40i owners know of the design problem!!!

Most Enjoyable Car We've Every Owned

Have the "M" package which adds quickness that compares with my Corvette. All wheel drive is fantastic; car is over engineered and fabulous. Made in America and we should be very proud!

Driving this car is a wonderful experience.

The BMW X3 has a great new design. The driving experience is wonderful and the sporty. The X3 has plenty of leg room in the front and rear. The car is sporty and always catching the eye of the crowd.

A fine example of strong, german, engineering.

Having owned the vehicle for very short time; it is a bit early to speak of a long term experience. I am hopeful that it will be very reliable and am counting on it.
