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.

BMW X3 review
Does everything I expected plus more. Only problem is I may not ever figure out how to do all the things it will do.

I have owned four BMWs and this is the one that is affordable, fun to drive, and has the right amount of performance.
