My 3rd purchase BMW but unfortunately the last one

I have owned BMW cars for the last two decades and this is unfortunately the last BMW I will own. Everything on this car is “melting” due to cheap parts and I live in a mild climate of North Carolina. Although I take good care of my car the seats made of “leatherette” are worn off and torn at 60,000 miles (both passenger and driver side) the rearview mirror has plastic melting down running down my windshield. You cannot touch the door handles as your hands will get very sticky! Absolute disgrace - save yourself the hassle and look for a new car elsewhere!

The best SUV we've owned so far.

My wife bought her 2014 X3 slightly used, she now has close to 100k miles on it and it drives like new. She has a bronze exterior with beige interior. It has heated seats, heated steering wheel, mirrors that tilt for parking, rear view cam, etc.. I absolutely love driving the X3 and I've owned many different vehicles including high end. The turbo 4-cylinder has amazing pickup and gets phenomenal gas mileage. The seats are super comfortable and I love the interior color. The info system is decent. The handing is quick and precise. The heated steering wheel gets legitimately hot. The decimals are quiet. She's only had to do normal maintenance like oil, brakes, tires etc.. The ONLY thing that wasn't a normal repair was the glovebox, the outer layer has started peeling off and BMW wouldn't cover it (and this is a common issue that many owners experience) Overall, the X3 has been a phenomenal vehicle that's fun to drive every time I jump in. It makes me love BMW even more than I did before. And it's been way more reliable than my MDX. We'll be driving it for many years to come.

Purchased vehicle about a month ago and have driven 2200 miles. Was nervous at first about 4 cyl engine but it has plenty of power. Recently got 27mpg on trip and that was better than Lexus 400h we traded in. Special ordered vehicle just the way we wanted with tech,parking assist, xenons, upgraded stereo and convenience package. Vehicle is very comfortable on long trips and heated steering wheel is a nice on cold nights. Build quality and dealer experience was first rate. We did purchase tire hazard warranty because of the run flats.

Execent SUV. It's a very reliable, luxury, confortable, spacious and fun ride to drive. An excelent quality interior materials. Only its gas mileage is not so good even on Eco mode, which I use most of the times.

I recently "test drove" a pre-owned 2014 X3. The dealer was very knowledgeable and we ended up driving about 15 miles during my drive. The car had 34K miles on it, yet it still looked new. The leather seats were in great shape. I have read some articles that mention a firm ride. I have been driving for 45 years and the X1 has one of the nicest (and sportiest) rides of the many vehicles I have driven. The ride was certainly not overly firm. In fact, it was downright fun. When the rear seats are folded, there is a surprising amount for room. If you want to have a little fun while driving your small SUV, this is the one to get. I just wish the new models weren't so expensive. Forty-five to fifty-five thousand is a lot of money for a small SUV, regardless of how nice it is. BTW: I did not reply to all of ratings because I did not have the opportunity to try all of them.
