We like the car. However its a diesel, and with the german car manufacturer cheating, VW and Audi diesels have lost some of their luster. However we still get over 37MPG on the highway. Live in Maine so it's mostly highway milage. Have had an oxygen sensor and another exhaust sensor replaced under warranty. Not thrilled by the run-flat tires. No jack or tools came with the car!! Updated on May 15, 2018. Had two more check engine light incidents, both times diesel exhaust system problems. Could not afford the sensor replacement every 15,000 to 20,000 milesso traded the car in at 60,000 miles. Very disappointed with the quality of this vehicle. Not only do the owners have to add diesel exhaust fluid every 10,000 miles which is a pain, every 15,000 to 20,000 miles the car has to be in the shop again to take care of the exhaust system problem!!!!

Worst BMW/Owner experience ever

Lots of road noise. Horrible ride over rough surfaces. Thumps and other noises that can't be located. Front end had to be reworked to the tune of $1700 at 57k miles. At latest inspection (75k miles) several lights needed to e replaced to the tune of $1500. Neither was covered by CPO warranty. Also the leather steering wheel has begun to delaminate - no dealer solution other than to replace the steering wheel at my expense. I've owned 6 BMWs, but this will be my last. UPDATE: Turbo failed at 95k miles and front end needed repairs. Total bill $10k. Traded the car for a Toyota Highlander. I've owned over 20 cars in my life. This has been the worst ever owner experience

We bought our X3 as a 3 year old CPO. The CPO designation is a joke. It mostly means it’s been inspected and meets some kind of standard. We hadn’t owned it very long before it started chirping about needing service. It needed an oil change. The service manager also said it needed new tires. I thought all of this would’ve been addressed before it was offered up for sale as a CPO. Nope. We ended up buying tires elsewhere and saved about $400 for the exact same set. The service department has been great to work with otherwise and has taken great care of us (as a premium luxury brand should). Our three biggest gripes has to be the fuel economy has never matched as advertised, we are regularly dealing with a check engine light, and the depreciation is horrendous. The car drives great and has served us well but it’s difficult to justify getting another one based on this experience.

Offer an upgrade for back seats!

I have now owned my car for three months. Over-all I really like it and love the way it looks. It is $10,000 less than the Mercedes and I think it's a better deal. However, the back seat is very uncomfortable on trips. I also disagree with those who say there is plenty of room in the back seat. I wish BMW would offer an option for the same quality of seat contract in the back as they have in the front. Other than that, I can find little wrong with this car. I also love my dealership (Daytona Beach Fields BMW).
Unreliable electronics

I have not had a mechanical problem, but the electronic components are terrible. The drive train computer was replaced within 6 mos (a 2 week wait) and the head unit of the navigation system was replaced last month, after a year of attempted fixes (and multiple visits to the dealer) by BMW. Thank heavens for the extended warranty I bought back in 2014. I have since sold my BMWX3 because my extended warranty was expiring.
