    It's A Bmw, What Else To Say! — Well built and designed car. Quiet, stable ride. Auto-traction control great in the snow. Amazing acceleration for a four cylinder especially in Sport mode (thank you twin turbos!). Good visibility for an SUV. Runs great on mid-range fuel. Excellent braking and feels in control during hard braking.

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: Drives like a BMW, which is a great thing. Excellent in snow/ice. Great sound system with USB plug in. Sound system rocks!

    Cons: Fuse panel is extremely difficult to access (behind glove box wall through small opening), could have had less cheap plastic interior components

    The Premium Package with Live Cockpit Pro is well worth it. Being able to have touch screen makes it so much easier for using navigation. Traded in a 2017 X3 x drive, and the 2022 is much quieter, s... Read More

    The BMW X3 is a nice vehicle, plenty of options, technology and has a comfortable ride. In my final analysis I went with a BMW X1 primarily due to the X3 being larger than what I need. Read More

    The X3 trunk space is small (width) compared to Acura and Lexus SUVs, and the trunk opening height is less than desirable, minimum 3-31/2 ft opening bumper to roof, otherwise everything else is ok Read More
