INSANE - 2011 BMW X3
By personaltrain - December 30 - 12:11 pmI just dont even know where to begin with this hunk of [non-permissible content removed]!! First Ill start by agreeing with every negative comment Ive read on this review board. Just purchased this junk on wheels less than one year ago and its already going back to BMW for service for the fifth time! I had to bring the car in for its first service owning it for three days. Little did I know this was just the beginning. PLEASE PLEASE listen to all the reviews on this board. Consider something else!!!

2011 BMW X3 xDrive28i - 2011 BMW X3
By gazeboarder - February 9 - 9:57 pmThis is my first BMW. Ive had the car for 5 months. I previously owned an Infiniti FX35. I like the X3. The feel on the road is nice and solid. Heated steering wheel is great in cold temps but the location of the button sucks. BMW could improve their ergonomics and sound system. The iPod connection system has a mind of its own. The sound system in my Infiniti had better sound. I love the look of his car from the front. $1200+ for a trailer hitch is a joke. Yakima and Thule does not have a roof rack compatible with this vehicle. Initial acceleration is a bit slow at times which is weird for a car that claims the Ultimate Driving Experience.

Major problems with the 2011-BMW-X3 - 2011 BMW X3
By thecriticsays - October 19 - 9:15 pmThe vehcile is great when it works. I have had major problems with the 2011 X3, vehicle is less than 6 months old: 1-Engine coolant leak, cracked reservoir. BMW said its normal at first, then repaired upon insistance. 2-Drivers door does not open, broken cable. 3-Excessive brake noise and squealing, BMW says its normal. 4-Excessive wind noise from poor outside door seals, BMW says its normal. 5-Grinding window noise when closing/opening window. 6-Windshield wipers do not rest in their low position, they sit up. 7-Passengers side door was misaligned and sticked out, BMW said its normal, then attempted to fix upon insistance. All parts take 2-weeks to come !!!

My new X3....Next time, maybe I will buy a Hyundai - 2011 BMW X3
By cww125 - September 17 - 10:30 amI would like to know why I could go purchase a $14K Hyundai w/ less problems than I have in my $55K X3.... 1.Cup holder Has a broken spring mechanism 2.Heater button When pushed, it went into the bottom of the center counsel. 3.Gas cap It states diesel but the car uses gasoline. 4.Alignment The vehicle consistently pulls slightly to the right. 5.Owners manual states there is supposed to be a first aid kit, pg 232. None. 6. Squeak - Sounds like styrofoam rubbing together. 7. Jerky start - seems like the fuel pump/injector issue BMW has been having. Utterly disappointed with this vehicle....
