Used BMW X3 for sale near me

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.

What criteria do you have in shopping your next used vehicle? 1. You want to buy a used car that is believed to be absolutely trouble free (Equivalent to a certified grade). 2. You are ok to buy a car at a fair market price (You are not trying to find a steal deal or to negotiate a price). 3. You hate sales pitch. Then go to Carmax. This is my best advice based on my past car buying experiences with all sorts of car dealers. You can't go wrong with Carmax if the above three are your criteria. Carmax set an extremely high standard in their car reconditioning protocols. Carmax certification is as good as manufacturer's certifications. Meanwhile, you will be discouraged if you come to Carmax in hope to find a steal deal, because all of their cars are priced RIGHT, and they never give you a room to negotiate over the price. This means that they don't play games, and they don't let you play games, either. They are fair. You have to be fair, too. A good news is, they don't try to steal your money. So don't try to steal theirs. However, I have one serious advice: Get pre-approved by a local credit union before coming to Carmax. While Carmax too does offer financing, their repayment rule has a catch. Say your monthly payment was set to $100. If you put $500 at once, you expect that the extra $400 would automatically go to principal payment, right? Not with Carmax financing. Instead, the first $300 goes to the three upcoming monthly payments, and only the remaining $200 will go to principal payment. If you intend to pay off your auto loan quick, this repayment rule that they set up is a deal breaker. A good thing is, they will gladly let you use your credit union financing; they won't pressure you into choosing their financing service. Good luck, and never go back to liars that live in the rest of the world.

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.

Nelson Flores was our salesman and he went above and beyond for us the entire process. He found us the ideal car and was patient with us. The whole process start to finish was painless! He was amazing! Vince the finance guy also was so personable and helpful!

Had an amazing experience! Dennis helped us a lot and was supper friendly and informative. I would come again! Thank you so much for the experience and help!

Its so comfortable, fast, sport, low mileage, so clean . It is 2013 with 67k mileage, honestly so clean look like new car .new tire and full service

I would definitely recommend Fair Oaks to anyone looking for a Used vehicle. Bonnie provided excellent service. I left today with a new Grand Cherokee. Thank you Bonnie for your diligence, attention to detail, and kindness.

The most practical car we ever bought, combination of luxury and performance is the best we ever had. The X3 has great traction for winter and the 6 cylinder turbo has plenty of power and super smooth even in comfort mode.

Excellent service and amazing follow up! Team is awesome and respectful. They understand your needs and cater to them Fully. Highly recommended to Porsche drivers.

I had a great experience working with Paul Blakeman at the BMW of Fairfax dealership! He made the process very quick and efficient to buy a new car! Thanks Paul!

They made buying experience pretty easy for me, very helpful sales person Barbar Ahmad. I like this place and I’m happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a used or new car

This vehicle has has taken my wife and me cross-country, as well as several other long distance trips, with a sum total of only one flat tire and no other mechanical, nor electrical issues at all! Any repairs have been moderate and frankly expected given the high number of miles (150,000 so far) on it. I expect to keep it for another year and a half.

I had a wonderful experience at Ourisman Jeep in Bethesda. Dietrich responded to an initial e-mail inquiry and found the vehicle that checked all my boxes. All my questions were answered. I was given a price sheet and made my way to the dealership. All of the staff at the dealership were welcoming and friendly. There was no hidden agenda. There were no surprises in the finance office. Nick was straight forward with no pressure. Thank you to Dietrich and the whole team. I’m very happy with the experience and love my SIXTH Jeep Grand Cherokee!

I think this car is a good family car to drive around with since it has the key features needed to be a family car

Buying a car is like welcoming in a new family member. You want everything to be perfect and in place for the new arrival. Being a straight shooter and requiring honesty and integrity I have to say THIS was the BEST place to find that and more. Paul was SO above board and quick to reply with questions and concerns. This dealership has a great family atmosphere and positive energy. If you truly need a quality car LOOK NO FURTHER. We are over the moon happy with our new arrival ;-)

I love that BMW makes a mid size suv that is part electric now. We purchased the x3 edrive. I do mostly local driving during the week so only need to fill up with gas once a month to every six weeks. Excellent car!

I was in the market for a new mini, having had my Clubman for 11 years. Vinnie M was a super match for me as sales rep---patient, knowledgeable, low key, and more of a consultant than a salesman. The way I want it to be. The dealership is a super pleasant place, and the selection of cars always great. I recommend Passport Mini and Vinnie M especially!

The BMW X3 is not a crossover that should be ignored. It is more than I expected coming from someone who has owned a 3 Series BMW for the last 6 years. Now I ask myself, why didn't I opt for the X3 much sooner, especially since it is more spacious with better features than my 3 series. Plus the price was only about $3,000 more for plenty more space and amenities. You owe it to yourself to test drive one soon!

I had a great experience today on June 9 2023. I called to make an appointment today and they were able to schedule me in for the morning. Upon my arrival I was greeted by a service team member who asked for my key and then assured me that service advisor would be with me shortly. I was told that my service would take about 3 hours and ended being quicker by a half hour. Everyone was quite courteous and welcoming during my visit. They also had coffee and refreshments for me to enjoy while I waited. I will definitely continue to take my vehicle there to be serviced.

Meets my needs it is sporty, fast and comfortable and fun to drive. It handles well, the suspension is firm, it adjusts with the settings one chooses.

Garry is always a pleasure to work with. Customer service is top notch! Garry is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We get all of our vehicles serviced with Garry!

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!

Had a software issue with my car that prevented from driving. The booking was weeks out. Anisha was very helpful in getting my car in a diagnostic check. She was very detailed and thorough. Very pleased with my service.

I am new to BMW and so far I am loving it, especially the way it handles the road and the overall comfort of the car

I took my X5 to BMW of Alexandria for annual service and safety inspection. Tom was my service manager and he provided excellent, and prompt service

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. 🥴

Michelle Perez provided outstanding customer service. She kept me updated on the status of my car service. Mechanic Specialists are thorough in completing services and provide detail maintenance recommendations with pictures. Michelle patiently assisted me with how to use ApplePay after realizing I left credit card in another pocketbook. I will keep coming back!

This car met all my needs. Comfortable, roomy, classy,sporty and much more than expected. After purchasing the 430i I switched to the x3 best decision I ever made....

This is the first time I buy a car from a Jack Taylor Toyota dealership, and I had the best experience. Ebo Grant was very professional, patient and thorough. I felt absolutely no pressure and he made sure I had everything, and it was set up before I left. I med was also very helpful in the finance department, and Mike the manager. My first Toyota and I loved handling the team at Jack Taylor in Alexandria first class. Thanks to everyone who helped me, I highly recommend them if you want to buy a car.

My second X3 and love it more than the first!I especially like driving in the sport mode. Great feel and ride and the gas mileage stays about the same.

The Sales team of Abdullah Qaderi and Elizabeth Hammond were terrific. Elizabeth very promptly answered my online inquiry regarding a used car that I saw on autotrader.com, confirmed availability and had me scheduled for a test drive before other dealers even took the time to respond. She handed me off to Abdullah as she was with another customer when I arrived. Abdullah was kind, ethical, and very considerate of what I needed, and really took care to make sure I was satisfied with the car, even though I'm sure I was one of the lower-priced sales that weekend. Abdullah made every effort to make the car perfect for me. I highly recommend this sales team at Sheehy Honda. Note - I didn't equally love the fiance/warranty team that did try to pressure me into an additional service contract even though I told them from the start that I absolutely was not interested. Hopefully they can learn from this review that some customers walk in the door knowing exactly what they want and need and don't appreciate the upsell. If it hadn't been for my good experience with the sales team, I would have walked out.

Six cylinder turbo provides great performance. Sport package worth every penny for the handling. I had a 2011 E90 several years ago with the same N55 motor and Sport package. This is just as much fun.

Bought our teens first car. Theo and his staff made it a very easy process and the staff was helpful. it's not easy finding a car for less than 5K in this market and we did it at Woodbridge Public Auto Auction

I have owned the original X3 and followed up with this model. The second generation is certainly a few steps above as far as comfort, style and driving performance. 2012 is the last year the 28i is powered by the 3.0L inline 6. Acceleration is great after getting the software update. Prior to it, I had the aggravating slow response met with a rush of acceleration. The software update has smoothed out the throttle greatly. The ride is super comfortable for day to day as well as trips. I have taken this car on long trips a few times this year and it is great on gas, very comfortable seats and great visibility. It is easy to park and has a tight turning circle. The handling feels like the 3 series sedan! Going up and down hills and mountainsides feels secure. Feature wise, I fully recommend the backup camera and parking sensors as well as the heated seats/steering wheel. Cargo space is adequate for this class and three average sized adults can fit in the backseat comfortably. I will say that BMW has this peculiar way of stripping the cars down in the past 10 years and labeling it as "customization." You notice the small things such as no puddle lights on my particular car, as well as having to get packages for an improved interior/exterior. Another example is if you do not get the Navigation, you do not get the nicely done, upscale graphics on the speedometer area. You have to add leather, a sunroof, heated seats, etc. My older BMW's had a lot of these more common features standard. If you buy this car used, be sure to pay attention to the features and how it was optioned. Overall, the car has been very reliable and a joy to drive!

No hassle from sales to financing ,best pressure free car buying,I have ever experienced. Would and have recommended to all looking to buy

The X3 m40i is the best family vehicle. Got a decent deal from CarMax on a lightly used 2019 x3 m40i. The hk sound system sounds terrible unless you figure out how to turn off the exhaust sound that comes through the speakers (leaves little bass balance left for the music), but luckily there are a few tricks (check forums). The vehicle is a blast to drive, yet can carry the whole family and luggage anywhere. I had a few e36 m3's a while back and repairs were reasonable and easy to do a lot of stuff independently, so repair costs (only needed brakes, tires and oil in the past 30k miles) on the new BMWs did come as a bit of a shock, but being proactive helps. The vehicle has been super reliable with no mechanical issues.
