Is the X3 just a smaller X5?
The X3's performance is outstanding as you would expect from any BMW; however, the interior quality and materials are definitely sub-par for a BMW and come nowhere near matching the X5's much nicer and more expensive interior. Overall, I feel like the car isn't as solid as an X5 (the doors are lighter, it also feels much lighter when you drive it), although it handles very well. For $48,000 fully equipped, you should definitely get more quality for your money, but it is a good vehicle.
Pleased
This car is well built and lives up to a top quality vehicle for the open road or city life.

PERFECT
I HAVE OWNED ALOT OF VEHICLES BUT THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST IN PERFORMANCE, COMFORT AND LOOKS. BMW HAS A GREAT ONE IN THIS SUV. THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LOOK IS EXCELLENT. I LOVE THIS ONE!
Great Car
Overall, love the vehicle. The safety features are incredible. After driving a Jeep cherokee with nothing for safety this is great. Weird quirk-can't open the rear hatch from inside car; must use key. The xenon lights are amazing and truly increase visibility at nite. The dash area wouldn't win any beauty contests, its a bit rustic.
X3 X-cellent
Just purchased the X3, and couldnt be more pleased. I believe that BMW may have some future design changes, but the ultimate perk to the X3 or any BMW is the service plan. You may pay the higher price, and compromise the luxury, but you wont have to do a thing for the life of the car. BMW takes good care of its owners.
