Breaks or rotors
Not sure if it’s BMW in general but the breaks or rotors squeal! I took the vehicle to be serviced and the dealership claims there is nothing wrong. I can take a squeak here and there but a loud squeal every time I reverse or move forward just doesn’t seem right.

BMW WOW
I have two X3 one here and one in Florida, twins. Once you drive BMW you’ll never drive anything but.

One of the best cars BMW has made in awhile
Not cheap but worth it - at least for the M40i model. This thing drives and handles like a sports car. I occasionally park next to a Mustang Shelby GT500KR with the racing strips, etc. We checked 0-60 times on the website - same times - granted the mustang is 10 years old but that's insane.

Great Ride...Light on Amenities!!
I've had my 2018 X3 for a week now. I love the handling and performance, but for a $52,000 vehicle, I'm disappointed in the lack of amenities. There is only one USB port in the vehicle. The driver's seat is rather uncomfortable due to the lack of a lumbar adjustment that is considered and upgrade. I never even thought to check that lumbar support was included. It seemed a given for a vehicle of that grade. The interface with my phone is limited and delayed. When I inquired why my texts were not being displayed, the dealership said it was for safety reasons. BMW felt it was unsafe to have the driver look at the display screen. I asked why the news was being displayed on the screen then. He said reading the news was not as distracting as hearing a text read out. Oh well. I will be having Apple CarPlay installed for $300. Without it, the display screen is less useful because you must constantly reach for your phone to switch between music and entertainment apps. My daughter's Rogue has more features. I think I just didn't realize that BMW was all about the ride and not the experience. Lesson learned.

Amazing small utility vehicle
Overall I love this vehicle, the size and handling are great. I love the back seats that fold down almost flat for the extra cargo space and the size of X3. This is a very nice handling vehicle which has different drive modes to spice things up or cool off on the gas consumption. The seats are comfortable for longer trips, nice leg room for those in the back, and as I mentioned its got good trunk space. This vehicle also feels heavy and sturdy, not like most smaller SUV's which I love. My only complaint is that I had issue's with a reoccurring "Check Engine" light which was really an emission issue. It took some investigating to fix the issue because it was so small, micro fuel bursts.
