I bought this used BMW X3 from dealer, 2nd day driving , car started giving check engine light on and transmission problem message. Never expected this problem from luxury car manufacturer at low mileage car. I have driven Toyota’s and NIssans all the way to the 200K + mileage. None of them gave me major problem such as this car. Very disappointed.

Let me just say that I was always a BMW brand guy I owned a 2004 Z4 I just recently sold. I purchased a 2013 BMW x 3 with 58,000 miles. Well a year and a half later after the following guidance from BMW for maintenance my engine is seized, no one wants to take responsibility for it, and I am letting holding a loan for $13k I drove the car less than 10k miles and at 70,000 miles a dead engine. BMW NA can go to hell, and their cars are equal to owning a yogo.

Bought it used and wow what an upgrade from our Honda. This twin turbo four is fast. Edmund's says 6.8 in review, but 6.2 is accurate. The transmission is smooth and the interioris quiet. NICE ride. 85000 miles now. Dealership did some warranty work for me. Otherwise just brakes and oil. Car runs well.

Bought this in alpine white on black and I call it my new spaceship. I also test drove the 3L engine but the 2L seemed lighter and much more responsive, not to mention for '13 both models have the same horsepower and torque! I traded in a Nissan Juke which was truly just a joke, super small, not safe, tiny 9 gal gas tank, no hatch space for a big grocery trip unless you put both rear seats down etc.. so this was a giant upgrade with absolutely no regrets!!! I wasnt a huge fan of run flats due to their cost if you even run over a nail, but i'm starting to be a fan of how thick they are for any bumps in the road, you feel practically nothing! To assure myself, I bought the extra tire warranty.

We now have about 12,000 miles on the X3. BEST utility vehicle I have ever owned. Fuel economy is right at 26.5 p tank. Have gotten as high as 32mpg when cautious? And this was obtained with mid grade. To date there are NO maint. Issues at all. Flawless vehicle and American made. Storm grey and oyster interior are cool in summer here in GA. As for the auto shut off....was rough at first but at about four thousand miles the process smoothed out totally. And it does help save fuel.
