Love My Car!

This is my favorite car of all time! Comfortable, great handling and good looking. Shortly after I made the purchase I took a trip and while I was away it struck me that I didn't miss my husband, dog or friends....I missed my car!

The Perfect SUV/Sports Car

I purchased a 2018 BMW M40i in Feb 2018. I was looking for the right balance between performance, speed and space. I wanted a sports car; something quick and agile. But I also wanted something that performs well in snow/rain, and that can hold lots of gear in the back, kayak on the roof, and tow the jet skis. This M40i is the perfect balance. Love it.

Most comfort Vehincle I owned

The car meets all I need. But it has only one USB port. Also, it has no AUX and Car play should be inbuilt. Now a days its available in all cars

Most fun vehicle to drive that I have ever owned

Performance, Performance! I just purchased the BMW X3 M40i and am so pleased that I did. The technology is amazing on this newest model. It is much better than even last years model. Luxury and Performance together! Test drove the Audi Q5, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Jaguar Fpace and none compared to the X3 as far as drive and comfort.

Easy to drive, beautiful, great tech

This car is the easiest driving SUV I?ve ever driven. I commute ~30 miles to work and regurarly engage the active cruise control, lane keeper assist, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, cross traffic warning, active braking, cameras, etc, and find this to be a very safe vehicle. The 4-cylinder has a little turbo lag, but quickly adds both revs and speed when you want. I traded a 2011 335d, so the previous ?head snap? when floored is not quite the same, but as an SUV, this is near perfect. The ride height is commanding and is easy to get in and out, which is an improvement over the prior model. The tech is up to date and the Apple CarPlay seamlessly integrates with an iPhone. My wife loves the kick to open rear tailgate and actually called me to let me know how much easier the X3 drove compared to her Odyssey. We just returned from a Costco run and had room to spare. I can easily fit my golf clubs and other gear in the trunk with the seats up, and would have more than ample room with another golfer, but 4 players would probably want an Escalade-sized SUV. All in all, overall 5 stars!!!

The best companion any driver would ask for.

This is a companion than just a car. Has the best features like lane correction, heads up display, self parking, collision mitigation and excellent interiors with wifi router, wireless charging. What else would anyone ask for. BMW X3 is truly the ultimate driving machine.

I love this car. Great gas mileage for a small SUV

This car meets all of my needs. Right size and great distance on a tank of gas. my only wish is that it would have used regular fuel instead of premium.

Smooth ride and great interior. Driving made easy

A little larger than the X3 I traded in and I love it. Love the keyless entry and all the options that came with the car.
