First time in a BMW and I will continue to buy them. Love how it handles, it is just a really great car to drive. I can go 90 miles an hour before I realize it-it rides that smooth. I feel good driving this car and I have owned my share of cars. Apr 23, 2015

I bought this car with 26k on it and fell in love with it. I love the 6-speed manual. The clutch is smooth as butter. The all wheel drive system is so smooth that you forget its there until suddenly you need it and you have traction while everyone else is spinning. I wish the UK diesel version was here. 50 miles per gallon instead of 17. The speakers and sound system are good for a factory system and there is an optional BMW part to hook up a earphone jack to the back of the head unit for your MP3 player/phone. (If you don't have the nav unit) There is one drawback. If you have the original springs/shocks/struts that BMW made for it and not the "sports pack" or an upgraded after-market set, then you will experience one of the worst stock systems in BMW history. My wife is 100% not a car person and she complained about how it felt going over bumps. I upgraded it with a Bilstein Yellow Shock/Strut set and Eibach Pro Springs. This firmed it up in a hurry and now it feels marvelous. Just make sure you check on them if you buy one as the original set was so bad that BMW dealers started refusing to accept them from the factory without the upgraded kit being pre-installed by BMW. This only affects the 04 model year. It's a good idea to look at them anyway on a used car.Oct 20, 2012

it is a very beautiful car is good that it isn't as big as a bmw x5, but however it isn't as big to be a good family car, i think that the perfect size it's of the new bmw x3, bigger than an old x3 and smaller than an x5. The power is ok, because is less than an x5 that is too much powerful. i think that the new bmmw x3 is a very good car, and the older not as good as i want. however all bmw suv line is not good to do off road.Dec 04, 2011

The driving performance is great, it has quick pick-up and sharp turns. Had installed new breaks in 2009, new battery November 2010, and there is an extended warranty on this car till 3/2011 with Zurich.
BMW is known for expensive repair costs. I have done regular maintance at Seattle BMW and German Auto Specialist (Factoria). The car has been garaged during my ownership and the body and interior is in good shape! Since I live and work within two blocks, I drive this vehicle 2-5 times a month for short distances, so the mileage is VERY LOW.
This is an excellent car, had great TLC!!Dec 21, 2010

unlike it's big brother the X5, the x3 is smaller, lighter and more
appropriate not just for city driving but it can also take on cross country
trips.. very spacious interior for maximum comfort... again, being a
Beamer, it has a downside... high maintenance...Jul 19, 2010

it's powreful with excellent handling ,but the 3.0 liter engine is very thirsty,bulid quality is very poor too!Appearance is very old-fashioned，so if u want to buy a new LSUV，X5 or Porsche Cayenne will be the better choice。 Jul 19, 2010

The BMW brand was in my mind over-rated until we bought this puppy. I also had a 2000 Mercedes ML 320 - which the BMW X3 was built to compete against. The BMW was as powerful and much smoother on the road.
My ML was sturdy and dependable, but not as nicely appointed. Both are great highway cars, but my next car will be a BMW!Jul 16, 2010

Very functional, fits everything in, the dog even gets her own space! The boot is bigger than the X5. I got the one with Leather, Sat Nav, CD changer etc, all great. Only downside so far is that the paint has started peeling off the steering wheel.Dec 18, 2009

MPG is great and handling is great a little bit expensive new. 6 speed is fun. good in snow. Has not broke down or have not spent lots on maintenance. German quality at its best! BMW rocks oh yeah. Yeah!Aug 01, 2009

Solid build, first BMW we have had. Rides a little rough and not for someone looking for a plush ride. Great handling and good ergonomics. Interior is not particularly high end but well constructed. We liked it enough that we just bought a second one, the 3.0 this time. Jun 13, 2009

Cheap bimmer... not much power, feel "plastic-kie" interial.
Interior space is good for it's size. Good if you want a Bimmer but do not to spend $50k plus...
Maintenance cost would be expensive after the 4 years/48k miles...
You get what you pay for... did I mention cheap, LOL?

Extremely Powerful for a 2.5 liter engine. A little rough around the edges, however its completely worth it. I've never experienced a moment where i thought the car was underpowered. The car is extremely fun to drive. On a comfort level, its stiff and a little uncomfortable, but perfect if your looking for performanceOct 13, 2008

the steering is way too light and the electronic throttle freaks me out. the seats can be a bit uncomfortable for long drives, but they do provide good grip and feel for the driver. the sports package is a bit rough with the factory 18" wheels but steers very diectly. the engine is a bit too "top end" for my liking, as you have to go half throttle or more to get it movingNov 05, 2007
