This is my 2nd BMW after keeping my previous 528 for over

This is my 2nd BMW after keeping my previous 528 for over a dozen years ! Still going strong but had to change. After test driving a few, came back to BMW... Its like Apple, once you get an iPhone, it is hard to switch ! Bought a CPO, which gives us more time. Nice car. Good power. Have to constantly check the speedometer to ensure we stay within limits ! So silent and smooth... Love it !

Nice Car with Strange Controls

The main issue I've had with this car is learning its vast number of controls, some of which are in strange places (such as at the end of the directional signal stalk) and are not clearly marked. The gearshift, for example, is counter-intuitive, and is moved backwards to go forwards, and vice versa-unlike most cars, it doesn't really move and fit into a slot for the appropriate gear. For no fathomable reason, the rear view camera stays on when you then drive forward. The warning system, for a car crossing or a person crossing, is unreliable; for example, if you have the car in reverse, the car hasn't moved yet, but a person walks behind the car, the warning signal does not sound--it only sounds if the car is already moving in reverse (if the pedestrian was walking right behind the car, you already hit him or her). There are also other "features" that make no sense. On the other hand, the car is fun to drive, reasonably powerful, attractive (I think--my wife disagrees), comfortable (except that one feels remarkably many bumps in the road), and quiet.

Love the X3! Comfortable and pretty good on gas.., smoot ride and so far been great with commuting. Will most likely purchase the x5 for a little more space for traveling.

Absolutely LOVE this luxury SUV!

I've always driven sedans and was hesitant to test drive an SUV... until I found the X3. I'm obsessed with the luxury look, the wonderful and smooth drive and the attention to detail. Heated seats and steering wheel are amazing, the cameras are super helpful and I feel incredibly safe!

Smoothest Ride

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Luxury, smooth ride, and stylish. Only problem is the ride is so smooth you would be speeding and not know it. 🥴

My dream car

Luxury, power, looks, style. A car I fell in love with during a long trip to San Jose, CA. The safety features, performance, handling, efficiency, comfort and appearance makes it my dream car.

Beautiful, reliable car that is fun to drive.

Nice tight handling with power. Handles extremely well. Technological options are amazing. Went with glacier silver and it is beautiful. Cannot wait to drive it again.

Car has all the tech you could ask for and it provides you with accurate timely information. Additionally is easy to setup to your needs and is easy to use. The car itself is very stylish and comfortable, and performs extremely well. Good performance and handling.
