I have the M Package and it's worth every penny, is gorgeous and handling is superb. Acceleration is go and no breaks down. Gass is normal for a 6 in line. I have owned for 2 1/2 year, buy it used with 119k and now after 10k, I have to say it's still running like new, my wife love it and it drives like a sport car, it turns very good and breaks/stop almost as my M3. Very safe on the rain or snow due to its awd. Update: they are good until they hit 100k, after that the annual maintenance is about $3k, monthly shop visits.

I finally had enough. Took a major loss by trading in the 2007 X3. Bought the car for 43K and got 29K in trade in ! The transmission problem in my opinion is dangerous and makes the car unpredictable in many situations (turns, acceleration from stop). Although I brought it back to the dealer for the fix, the problem persisted. In my opinion, it is a disgrace that BMW has the audacity to label this thing the "ultimate driving machine". I have been permanently soured by the BMW brand. Goodbye !

Having owned two X5s I'm thrilled with the agility and the power response of the X3 - firm ride yes, but smooth and tight. A joy to drive - sporty and more enjoyable than our Z3 and our 325csi.

The performance and driving experience has exceeded my expectations in the first week of ownership. I like the sporty feeling and the acceleration response and the luxurious feeling. I am happy with the 25 miles/gallon on my first tank of gas. It is a huge step up from my 04 325i that I still own. I am looking forward to a little snow at this point. Thanks from a happy bmw owner.

BMW X3 with the ///M Package -- Never Again

I purchased this car for my wife in 2011. It is a 2007 model. It had 50K miles on it when we purchased it. We now have 168K. This one had about every option except navigation (which I didn't want anyhow), and 19" wheels. Ours had the 18" wheels. First, the ///M package is the sharpest looking of all of these X3's. It body colors every component of the car and you don't get the black plastic around the wheel wells. It has been a fairly reliable car, but like any highly optioned vehicle, it has stuff to break. I will try to list everything that has been wrong or I've had to fix. First thing to go wrong was the sub-woofer under the passenger side seat went bad. Then the right hand door speaker followed. The right mirror doesn't fold any more, nor does it self-dim or heat. I assume it's a power problem. The valve cover started leaking and the CCV diaphragm (built into the valve cover) went bad. That requires a new valve cover to fix. Also lost a water pump. They are electric, so a new one installed was $900. Next was a starter and alternator, another $grand to replace those. The transfer case has a motor that has a gear on it; it went bad. I saved a bundle by replacing the gear myself. BMW doesn't carry "just a gear" for it, but some ingenuous person makes them and I bought one. BMW wants $900 for a new motor. The right hand door seal has leaked under hard rains forever. It gets the carpet wet at times. It's a poor design. I had to replace the rear door vapor barrier as it too was getting the rear carpet wet. The bolster heater on the driver's side seat burned through the leather and burned a hole my wife's nice North Face jacket. I hear it's a common problem on BMW's that could have been disastrous. The ambient temperature sensor hasn't read correctly since day one. It is always off about 7 degrees. One day the left dash side window defroster vent just popped off. The little prong that holds it in just broke off. The washer jug fluid motors both went bad. They would leak all of the washer fluid out. The pop up washers for the headlights quit working. No loss there, I hated the things anyhow. My wife loves the car and wants another one. When she starts fixing it, she can have another. I'm thinking Lexus RX350 next time.
