A great driving SUV

I loved driving this car. Traded a Porsche Macan GTS for it. It's a bit larger than the Porsche and drives as well to my mind. I liked the styling of the Porsche better, but the BMW is better for long drives and overall driving satisfaction, in my opinion. However, there are some nits: The OEM cargo tray is the worst material I have every seen. It comes rolled up in a box. Because it has a more plastic feel, it crinkles in the box, and the crinkles never go away. Also, it doesn't lay flat. Any warm day will curl the edges. I will say BMW refunded my money no questions asked. Also, at the bottom edge of each door is a drain hole that is, well, just funky looking. Finally, about 50% of the time the headlights stay on when you park. They don't go off unless you lock the car. I talked to BMW about this and they said, well, in Europe everyone locks their car. Ridiculous answer and design flaw. Overall, though, I think it's a great car to drive even if styling is only 4-star for me.

Sporty SUV

Going back and forth with BMW, Audi and Mercedes, price point, options, value and customer service won hands down with this BMW. It's sporty, nimble and fun to drive all while looking classy!! Handles great, throws your head back off the line, fast for a V6 and SUV. Super happy with my choice.

So far so good

I’ve owned this car 2 months and it’s been a pleasure to drive. A bit smaller than my mdx but I never used all that room anyway , so the size is fine for me. (No kids but one German Shepherd) . Good vehicle!

Most reliable car I own.

It has simply everything that I need in a car. I feel X3 and X5 are pretty much similar. X3 is more value for the money.

May just be the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Has lots of room and is comfortable to drive and ride in. Had plenty on power and gets pretty good mileage. Has lots of new features just a great vehicle.

My all time favorite car!!

This is my second X3 and I absolutely love it!! The comfort and the drive is so nice!! I can see myself keeping this car for a while. BMW definitely has it right and Nick Alexander definitely has it right from their sales and manager teams! Couldn't be happier!!
