2013 BMW X3 User Reviews

Pros

Looks outstanding. Great ride and handling. Luxurious interior,

Cons

Adding all of the options gets pricey

Purchased As New

This vehicle is a complete pleasure to drive. The cabin is comfortable luxurious and the driving position is excellent. Acceleration is crisp and the ride is very smooth and quiet. An excellent purchase we are very pleased with.

Pros

Fun and easy to drive, right balance of power and mpg

Cons

Pricey options, compact and noisy

Purchased As New

Great vehicle. Got a great deal with several options added on. Kid loves the panoramic moonroof. Plentiful technology, bluetooth is awesome. Can sync my phone, see my emails and also stream audio from my i devices. Navigation is good , too with live traffic updates and intelligent redirect. Great mpg ( averaging 26.8 over ~2500 miles, 60% hwy) Good space for a small family ( 2 adults+ a 6 yr old)- however, families with older kids may find the rear seating a bit cramped. Overall, a great driving experience, at least this far....read morehide

Pros

Awesome look, electronic details, room, friends' compliments are priceless.

Cons

MPG is lower than expected, start/stop function,

Purchased As New

This is my first BMW, I jumped from my 10 years old toyota. For those thinking about if BMW is worth the price, I had that thought and now think it is totally worth. Maybe I am shallow, but I feel people's compliment is the best standard option that my X3 comes with.
I have the 2013 X3 28i for about a month now. Everything is working great. Though the 35i has more power, my 28i is enough, I rarely use the sport mode. It's a compact SUV, but the room is bigger than Q5 or the pitifully small GLK. Ride is very comfortable, it also drives like a sedan. The standard computer screen lets you adjust many preferences, which I find a bit complicated because it covers so much. There are many functions that I didn't learn during the research of the car ( youtube videos don't cover everything at all). One sweet thing is I can open all windows using my remote(great for summer parking), and yes that is standard. Highway mpg is same as advertised, 27~28, but for locals I am only getting 19. Start/Stop function is a bit annoying, but you can turn it off. I got a pretty awesome deal, which I am not going to announce here. But if you are smart about the negotiation, your discount should not be anything less than 6% off MSRP....read morehide

Pros

smooth ride, heated steering wheel

Cons

loud engine, poor ventilation, voice commands terrible. no storage

Purchased As New

Although the engine drives very smooth, it sounds like a diesel. The auto start/stop does save gas but it is a pain to deal with. The AC/heat very poor; the windows are always fogging up. Some bad blind spots. The heated seats heat all the seat and can't choose back or seat part. The glove box and storage compartments are so small that the bare essentials only fit. The interior marks easily and has to be cleaned constantly.The car does have great pickup with the turbo engine and is fun to drive. A little light in the corners at higher speeds.
Have had it in the dealership 5 times in the first 6 weeks. Thier "pat" excuse for all the lights that keep coming up is " a computer glitch" really?? then fix it!...read morehide
