Love it

BMW has designed an SUV that has super quality and is fun to drive. I especially like the heads up display and interior design and engneering.

In and Out of the Dealership Frequently

I bought this car new in December 2019 and it currently has about 12,000 miles on it. I baby this car and take good care of it. I have already been through one official recall for the back up camera. It had to be replaced. Afterwards the electronics have never worked right. The electronic speedometer appears, disappears and then reappears in KMH instead of MPH. The weather is no longer showing on the screen. The rear tailgate has opened all by itself without my being anywhere near the car. Yesterday the check engine light came on. A malfunction of the lower flaps of the radiator. (error 11436.) They had to be replaced. With the recall, the radiator flaps failing, the tailgate opening and the electronic cluster malfunctioning I would say this car's reliability is below average. It's brand new. What a headache. BMW is not what it used to be.

Just Wow!

This is my third Bimmer SAV. I started with a 2015 X1. I loved that one but had to give it up because my wife wasn’t happy with the room. I traded that in for a used ‘17 X3. I really enjoyed it, even taking it on road trips. The problem was that it lacked a few things I wanted (navigation, heated seats). We traded up to a used ‘19 X3. All I have to say is, wow!! This is the vehicle I wish I got from the get go. I’m a big guy, and I have to say that it’s really roomy. The seats feel great. The infotainment screen is light years ahead of the one in the ‘17. The ride is much smoother. Very fun to drive, yet also very refined ride quality. I’ve had this suv for a few days and I can already say that this one is a keeper!!

M40i is a rocket!

We got this loaded and love it! Very comfortable seats, expansive moon roof, great technology features (brake assist, lane departure, etc.), incredible acceleration and even good gas mileage ( 22 mpg is riding in comfort mode, less in the more aggressive driving modes but it is a high performance car! ). Expensive but worth it so far - only have under 15,000 miles on it. We're going to drive it cross country given how comfortable it is and how good it handles!

Handles so well!

Perfect size, nice options and fun to drive! We had an X3 and the new one is even nicer and has a nicer feel to drive.

Have had my X 1 for only 4 months.

I'm reporting on an 2019 X 1, not an X 3. Car is fine but with 2 major complaints: the seat belts are not adjustable for height so the upper belt is up near my neck & wife's belt is AT her throat. You are the only company without this adjustment....INEXCUSABLE!! The other complaint is the seats; they are too narrow. I'm average size and I'm sitting On the side bolsters, not BETWEEN them...very uncomfortable & the bolsters are not during their job of helping to hold you in place when turning at a bit of speed. The X 2 & X 3 by the way have the same complaints. I'll probably trade her, possibly for the new MB GLB 200.

Great blend of power, handling and fuel economy.

Very quick when you need it to be. Average fuel economy is much better than EPA if you don't need it to be quick all the time. Well equipped even without all the bells and whistles. Navigation system is one of the best. The 19" tires do stiffen the ride somewhat but still reasonable. Room to haul everything my wife and I need for road trips.
