The car is sporty but comfortable at the same time. Although I didn’t get the upgraded engine, it’s still very spunky for it to be an inline 4. It’s super fun to drive!!

Nothing compares to BMW quality

I actually took my 2016 BMW 328i in for an oil change, etc, and fell in love with the 2022 X3’s. I could not leave the lot without one. I have only owned mine for 3 days, but I am exceptionally pleased with it. I am a tried and true BMW girl, my last three vehicles have been BMW, truly nothing compares to the quality. I have drove a Land Rover, Jaguar, Cadillac, Mercedes Benz– nothing. My X3 has an upgraded package that boasts a heated steering wheel, heated seats, keyless entry on all four doors, touch screen, hands free trunk entry, hand signals that the car picks up for the radio, navigation, reclining back seats, assisted breaking and assisting steering, and so much more that I can’t even remember. All of the features make for wonderful road trips with happy children in the backseat. However, none of that compares to the ride quality, it’s like riding on a cloud smooth with 0 noise due to new technology. BMW outdid themselves with the 2022 X3.

" On another level "

" All I ever did was pull into Fields BMW of Orlando with my 2021 Grand Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 to see what kind of SUV's they had. I was sorta bored and had driven past the dealership almost everyday. Pulling up in front, there sat a 2022 X3 sDrive30i. Using my ninja 🥷 skills in an attempt to avoid a sales rep, I slid upside the vehicle to look at the price sheet. Too late!!! I turned and looked into the eyes of my sales agent, Sydney. Without too much convincing, off we went for a " test drive ". Having never driven a BMW, my love affair was instant, as well as permanent. Needless say, handing over the keys for my jeep in exchange for the BMW was the easiest thing to do. I am the proud 👏 owner of my very first BMW. It is an amazing vehicle, and truly on another level ".

Sporty SUV

I've been driving my xDrive30i for almost two years. Overall, I have enjoyed the ownership and the driving experience and would highly recommend this model to others. Pros: - Fantastic 2.0L turbo engine with strong acceleration (in Sport mode), good fuel economy and a sporty exhaust note. - For a tall SUV with decent ground clearance, it handles great with a firm but well dampened ride and quick steering (in Sport mode) - Upscale and functional interior with high quality materials, without being too gimicky or gaudy - Infotainment screen is sharp, responsive and easy to use, with wireless Apple CarPlay. Gesture control is actually useful. - Very bright headlights with handy cornering feature - Decent amount of room in the front and back seats - Front seats are firm and supportive - The car feels solid and well-made and is a great value considering the price paid - Did I mention to drive it in Sport mode? Cons: - Loud wind noise around the A-pillar at highway speeds; not fitting for a luxury car - Speedometer reads 10% higher than actual vehicle speed (apparently a lot of BMWs do that) - The fake leather seats get really hot under the sun. Get light color seats (or upgrade to real leather) if you live in a warm climate. - The ugly digital dash has odd-shaped gauges and a map center that provides no useful info - The joystick style shifter is finicky and very hard to put into neutral - Auto engine start/stop is jarring (fortunately, driving in Sport mode disables it) - Rear cargo space is small, especially if you get the spare tire option, which raises the cargo floor. - Pandemic chip shortage resulted in the deletion of multiple options, but only minuscule credits were given in the price by BMW.
