I have owned this car from new. At 50k miles the windshield washer tank had to be replaced since the o-ring shrank and it was leaking all over the place. Never had that happen to me in my almost 50 years of driving. Now, at 54k, front axle and right front wheel bearing hub/assembly has to be replaced. I also own a 2006 Lexus GS 300 in mint shape which I bought new. At 133k miles hardly any issues. After all this Covid xx and overpricing is over with, hopefully next year, I'll be in the market for another car. It'll be a Lexus. It may not look as nice or drive as sporty but it's sure as heck more dependable. The X3 also makes an occasional loud noise when it starts which we haven't gotten to yet. Can't wait to see how much that sets me back.

The liftgate gasket design is wrong! If you check the car's roof, the roof bar's gaskets go directly to under liftgate gasket's! It means a couple of years later rainwater goes under the liftgate gaskets and inside the backside: all stereos, main battery on the back. The car goes toasted! I had a 2018 X3 M40i. It was just 24K miles. The car messed up in 2023 summer. I just checked the problem dealer service asking $300.00 just inspection fee + all problem cover needs $5,000.00. The best way; 1- Do not purchase X3. 2- if you bought, definitely every two years, change the gasket of the liftgate. (Note- I checked the X5 models, and they do not have this bad design.)

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
