The previous reviewers of the BMW I believe are incorrect. BMW still has a 4yr/50,000 bumper to bumper warranty but for 2017 the included service or maintenance is only covered for 3/36,000. That is the main reason I wrote this review to clarify that. I have only had the X3 for 3 weeks and only driven it 300miles mainly because I own a Nissan Leaf and the 2 year free charging ends for me at the new year so I drive my leaf whenever I can. I can say that I seem to really love the BMW. I like nice things and new technology and have had several loaded Kia's in the last 5 years because I got a lot for my money and didn't care what other people thought. My 2015 Sorento SX was loaded and I do miss my remote start already which was not an option on the BMW for all the things you can get. But I will say that everything just feels and sounds better in the BMW. Is it $10,000 better I can't say yet but for me if I am going to pay $550 to $750 to own not lease a car it is worth it imo to love what you are driving. I did love my Optima SX with the 2.0 turbo and it was only $400 per month with 0% interest but sometimes you just need to fit something more than you can in just a rear seat pass thru. I really didn't do much research before I bought it on Black Friday and got $2500 off msrp and $1000 BMW rebate/cash/credit whatever you want to call it. So for the last 3 weeks I have been watching reviews and reading up and I can say I don't have any buyers remorse. The only thing I am used to is 0% with Kia and my Nissan but I guess 2.9% for 72 is the best BMW usually offers. I wanted the M Sport and a few other options. There were a lot of vehicles to chose from but only a few with the M sport package. I actually went in looking at the X1 because it really isn't that much smaller and the price was less. The 2018 X3 will be all new and probably larger to make it more different from the recently upgraded X1. I am happy to buy at the end of the current models cycle because hopefully all the bugs are worked out. The only X1 they had with the M sport was loaded with 2 packages I didn't want and was the great BMW astral blue but not my first choice. Nearby was the X3 I ended up with for only $4000 more and still over loaded but it had the 20" M sport staggered wheel package that just makes it look so much better. I checked the price of replacement tires because I don't want to pay $300 or more for a tire but found great options that are not run flats but will get a spare and take care of that down the road. I drive my cars close to the limit and I ride sport bikes and of course I have not driven the X3 even close to max because it is not even close to being broken in but what I have noticed is that when you push it just a little it seems fine and enjoyable but the next level it I think it will be not quite as enjoyable. Should I have gotten the 3.5i with the adjustable suspension maybe but at close to $56,000 there are a lot of other performance options out there. I think my biggest complaint will be with the 8 speed Auto trans instead of some of the dual clutch auto's available. Manual is not an option for me because of other drivers in my family not to mention I prefer to concentrate more on my lines and braking etc. than shifting. In sport it seems to hold the gear to long and doesn't seem to read your mind and once it does shift its brisk but jerky. Maybe it will get better when it learns my habits but I think it will be in comfort or sport plus where you have to shift up or down yourself when I am alone. I think if the car is problem free I will keep it and add the Dinan computer upgrade dealer installed and doesn't void the warranty that adds over 40hp and 40 ft/lbs of torque at the wheels and get coil over suspension that I can slightly lower the X3 and have adjustable rebound dampening to make an even firmer but not to stiff of a ride. Another thing I like is I see a lot of X3's x1's and X5's but not to many with the M package or the nice rims. Mostly x5's so it looks different from most out there without customizing. I liked my 2017 BMW X3 but I traded in for the new X3 M40I and I love it! I Factory ordered exactly the way I wanted it. It handles way better and with the new B58 motor it does 0-60 with the Dinan dealer installed in 4.2 seconds and sounds amazing. It handles way better much sportier yet more compliant.

We have had our 2017 BMW X3 for oover 2 years years now and are very satisfied with it. We have not experienced any problems whatsoever. Of course we are not heavy users and only drive about 5,000 miles a year on it. It's a solid car and we feel safe in it. It handles well on the road with nice firm steering and the cruise control is superior to others we've had. Seats are very comfortable and have great support fot the back.It has many conveniences which our older cars did not have, so we are enjoying those features. Dealership support has been very good when we have questions about functions we are not familiar with. We would highly recommend this car to anyone.

This was my second BMW, so I was expecting Quality- 3 days after purchase the car broke down which was a huge red flag. I should have returned the vehicle but I trusted BMW dealer ship when they said it was a simple fix. Turned out to be WRONG. 9 months later Car breaks down again - same exact issue. ( Chassis Stabilization Malfunction) The car has major issues with the electrical power steering system. Extremely unsafe to drive. Car was also a trade in, so I’m assuming the previous owner had the same issue. I had BMW replace the EPS ( cost about 8,000 ) over all the car looked beautiful on the outside but not really valuable under the hood. Make sure you check all the recalls listed for X3 - you’ll see this model has some serious issues.
