One of the best compact SUV, Can't go wrong at all

It meets my all need. Being a short guy, It offers me perfect height and position to drive off. Feels very spacious and good visibility. BMW infotainment system is very smooth, it gets connected to my iPhone within seconds.Offers really good mileage of 25 mpg. Car engine makes really good sound and gives awesome power, drives real smooth.Only drawback, I feel that speaker quality could have been more better and the cabin noise could have been more decreased. However, its negligible.

Love-Love the Car, dislike the extra packages

I just received the upgrade 2019 BMW x3 from the 2016 x1 and so far it drives and feels great! I love the features of the car. The seats feel great and looks great on the road. I do miss the full maintenance package that BMW USED to provide (including brakes/seats/ EVERYTHING) now they are offering 10 different packages at the finance table at an additional cost but I remember in 2016 my x1's maintenance was all covered into the cost of the car. Just another way to get MORE money out of your loyal customers. I still enjoy the car but I can see in 3-5 years BWM's customers will be offered to pay extra for breathing, rain or sun protection or even finger prints packages or worse.

Loving my new BMW

Car is exactly what I needed. It has plenty of comfort and easy access for my two big dogs. They will love the panoramic sunroof!

Outstanding vehicle in every respect

This car has all the features we could possibly want. It handles like a dream. It’s almost intuitive in its response to driving input. We have only had it for a few days but I already think that this is the finest vehicle we have ever owned.

I’m loving the look & ride.

My first SUV and I’m excited learning the operations & special features. The purchase process was well explained, the financing was more than satisfactory and easy to secure.

Most Reliable Car I've owned

The 2019 X3 is a very smooth ride with the controls and comfort of a sedan. BMW hits another homerun out of the park with the X3. The best SUV on the market! My wife enjoys the ride and comfort of the X3. Love driving it!!

Sudden acceleration problem.

I own this car since October. 2019 X3 is an overall great car. However while parking the car suddenly accelerated on it's own. I tried to stop it with two feet on the break. Took it to BMW service. Was told ot must be my mistake. No way is this true.

Great experience to date!

Very comfortable and sharp looking. Great pick up and response overall. Enjoy the interior design. Still working on figuring out the radio and map configurations, etc. Really enjoy the responsive steering and handling!

The most unreliable new car I've ever owned.

We purchaced this car 8 months ago and just got rid of it. 3 problems in 8 months. The fuel vent valve failed. The fuel system developed a leak that took 1 week to diagnose and fix. The radiator baffle system failed. The car drove great but a new car today should have no issues. I cannot imagine owning one of these out of warranty. Its the fastest best handling SUV between 2 BMW service centers.

Best "All around Car/SAV for the money

The 2019 BMW X3 M40i far outweighed and exceeded my expectations. I was looking to buy the 2018 Macan GTS but decided to go with the BMW. I saved around $20k and got a bigger trunk space, more tech, and more power and torque than I need. I feel great about this purchase.
