Excellent Handling

My new X3 is a joy to drive. It feels smooth and solid. Being higher off the ground makes it easier to get in and out. The acceleration is excellent as are the new electronic improvements available by touch or voice control. I simply love my new car, named her Ms Blue 2 since her predecessor was also that pretty blue metallic color.

Great car with wonderful technology & storage

Just great. Good performance, mileage, comfort and cargo storage. Driving Asst. Plus is like having a copilot in city traffic or on the open highway.

The best in its category!

What a job BMW did on their 2018 X3. Everything about this vehicle is top notch, from the exterior styling, the interior and the performance. I test drove the X3 competitors, Audi, Mercedes and Jaguar, and in my opinion the BMW was the best of them all by far.

The best automobile purchase of my lifetime

After driving a competitve brand, for a couple of years, I decided that I needed a vehicle that has the latest safety features. After hours of research, I finally decided on the BMWX3. putting it mildly, I am not only pleased with my purchase, I am more impressed by the courtesy and competence of the dealership. The learning curve for the many safety features that the X3 has is well worth my time.

Very technologically suffocated luxury

Right size for our family needs as well as good towing capacity for the bike and trike. Also impressed with the technologically advanced luxury. It is quite an upgrade from my previous 2014 X3.

new owner, too early to judge reliability

So far, a really enjoyable car to drive, and fairly intuitive to learn the media controls. I wish it had a digital speed display in addition to the speedometer, and the electronic shifter is a little different, works great, just different from other cars. Like the styling and the interior comfort

Most amazing car I?ve ever owned!

This car is not only eye-catching but is extremely remarkable to drive. I love the assisted cruise control, the way it handles on the road and the comfort of the interior.
