BMW X3 2018
I am a Torontonian, own BMW 2018 X3 series, redesigned, Factory Delivered on lease for 4 years, I love my vehicle with all the features. After 2 yrs of Driving 40K, I was told by the service department that both front tires outside thread were worn out and needs to be replaced. Since each tire individually functions, the tire rotation is not a choice. I was suggested to replace both the front tires and get the wheel alignment done. No past accidents, No rough driving, no rim damage with curb hit. Surprisingly, new car, one owner, low tire thread??, I suspect, lane assist system retracts vehicle between lane marking, especially on curved highway.Cannot Prove, I was told once the lease period ends after 4 yrs, at 80K I will have to replace the tire as per lease agreement. I am very much disappointed that with no fault of mine I have to replace the tire twice during the 4 years lease period. The manufacturer experiment on customers expense. Other X3 owner feedback is welcome.

Get one while you can.
If everyone can afford it, I guarantee you that everyone will and would drive BMW’s let alone an X3 M40i because it’s probably the most versatile vehicle out there. We take ours on 2K mile road trips and off roading at the Ranch. I’m still kicking myself today for buying a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro......... glad to see it go. My X3 M40i puts smiles on my face when I dust wannabe racers!

Improved in many ways, but not as exciting
The 2018 X3 is much improved in many ways over the previous model. The question is, are the improvements ones that BMW drivers were looking for? The new X3 is much quieter, smoother, and is very comfortable. But BMWs, at least in the past, were known for being fun to drive. The new X3 is not bad to drive. Acceleration is great and steering feedback is not terrible. However, the suspension is certainly more soft than previous versions. The suspension seems to waft and sway and upon braking the nose of the car pitches and dives. Not exactly something I'd expect from a German sports activity vehicle - more from a 1970s Detroit car. The technology improvements are apparent, and the Harmon Kardon stereo also sounds terrific. I'm disappointed that despite this X3 being bigger than the previous model, cargo capacity is actually less. This is a great car for a technology guru, all-around family vehicle or road trip vehicle, but if you are looking for that classic BMW handling feel, look elsewhere.

largest "Lemon" I've ever owned !
This X3 was lemon lawed a year after purchase. However the dishonest dealer failed to brand the title and sold it on to unsuspecting buyers. The MV was flawed for the factory, unibody was stamped wrong, entire drive train was replaced twice. Turbo spun bearings on and on.. I’m sure it’s out there still going from car lot to car lot? Ripping people off!!! Thanks
