I bought my first X3 with 60k miles on it years ago... my son now drives it and has over 155k miles on the odometer... it runs great... the only repair was the expansion tank... service with a local shop that also services my Porsches... I just bought a second 2.8 used with 86k miles... loaded with every feature, paying 10k... my mechanics went through it... it was flawless with the exception of a ding on the hood... this has the sport package and my sons does not... I like the option... this will take two golden retrievers to the beach and the vet besides a pseudo pickup truck... I'm planning on 200k miles plus like my old X5 with the same motor.

I just don't even know where to begin with this hunk of [non-permissible content removed]!! First I'll start by agreeing with every negative comment I've read on this review board. Just purchased this junk on wheels less than one year ago and its already going back to BMW for service for the fifth time! I had to bring the car in for its first service owning it for three days. Little did I know this was just the beginning. PLEASE PLEASE listen to all the reviews on this board. Consider something else!!!

NIGHTMARE VEHICLE 2011 BMW x3 28i

Update Dec‘22 Final goodbye to 7 year nightmare of a vehicle. Had to let it go for practically nothing, didn’t want to do brakes & battery again, plus seatbelt and sunroof malfunctioned. Couldn’t avoid new starter. As a courteous driver, it was fun to drive when it did work, but in all honesty, I noticed a real disdain for the BMW on and off the road. I have owned many cars driving 45+ years. Owned GM and Honda and bought first BMW in 2015 at BMW dealer with supposed used car certification - a complete farce Rear defogger replaced Windshield defog only clears 2/3 Front suspension springs replaced Battery replaced twice despite trickle charge Engine light intermittently on no solution Suspension repaired Stay away from BMW unless you like forking out huge money on repairs. It must be driven and cannot sit for lengthy periods, you know like in a pandemic.
