Used 2014 BMW X3 xDrive35i AWD for Sale near Chicago, IL

Purchased a 2014 BMW X3 35i in August of 2023. It had 75,000 miles on it. The car looks and drives like new. It had good service records, and the water pump was replaced at 60,000 miles. The only thing that did not work was the lift gate electronic switch located on outside latch handle. I replaced that easily for around $15.00. My model has 18 tires and premium, all season radials; It does not have run-flats, that was a true bonus. I wont buy run-flats or 20 wheels. My X3 runs like a clock, and is incredibly powerful and smooth. The ride is terrific even though the suspension is firm. The N55 engine with the ZF8 transmission is amazing. Since it is a 2014 model, it is missing some of the newer electronics but it is still quite advanced. It took me a little time to get used to the close ratio steering and power after driving a Lexus RX.. It takes so little gas pedal to move out into traffic, but I truly enjoy it. Personally I would not buy 28i with the four cylinder. This is a great combo. The electronic shifter takes a little time to get comfortable with. I am getting 20.5 mph in mostly urban driving. I got 24 mpg when I was on the highway. The X3 has very little body lean compared to most SUVs. I wanted a sportier SUV that was more fun to drive., I certainly achieved that goal. It is also great in snow. You can read many terrible maintenance stories about this vehicle, but by doing due diligence and being careful, I think you can find a good one. I am driving a pristine X3 that cost $68,000 new and I spent $16,000. I can afford some maintenance for that difference. I will have the ZF8 transmission fluid replaced before 80,000, and that will cost around $700.00. There are just maintenance costs with cars. I recommend replacing the water pump every 60,000 miles so you wont be stranded on the road. This is all somewhat normal stuff, I had to replace the timing belt and water pump om Lexus every 80,000 too. This is a great car for the money. This is not a long term owner review yet. Will add that later.
