  2012 X3 M Fully Loaded WOW WOW WOW! - 2012 BMW X3
  By mouserdiver - February 3 - 4:55 am

  We are having an addition to the family so it was time to upgrade from the Mini Cooper. Baby number 3 is on the way. I have always wanted the X5 the one that seats 7. When it came out in 2007 I waited and waited so that I could buy a fully loaded used one. The one I wanted brand new was 90,000.00 but I was 22 and there was just no way at that age. Im 28 now, and baby number 3 on the way I went to my usual BMW dealership and saw the fully loaded X3 M. I thought. What the heck Ill just drive it and pretend I can have it. Its been a month and a half and I LOVE IT. I cant take corners in it like the mini but it will do. (I kept the mini anyway) Its luxury.

  Great Choice - 2012 BMW X3
  By intejer - January 5 - 3:32 pm

  Ill preface my review in that this is my 3rd BMW. Each time Ive gone to find a car, I have done an exhaustive analysis with spreadsheets multiple test drives and comparison figures recorded. Lets face it, cars arent cheap and we should be happy with our choice after the deal is done and we drive off the lot. On each search, while the BMW wasnt the winner for all of the categories it had the best combination of features/performance and price that I was looking for. My advise, order one, and you can still work your dealers over and you can get a much better price -- even as good as one already built. Also work them on financing and get the deal you want youll enjoy the final x3.

  Love the car but... - 2012 BMW X3
  By sgm2012 - December 29 - 7:53 pm

  This is our first 2012 BMW X3 35i M Sports Package. My husband and I love the car but it drifts right. Even on a flat road the car will veer to the right if you let go of the steering wheel. The dealership had it for a week and came back and said that this was normal for the X3s. Does anyone elses X3 drift to the right? Its very noticeable at high speeds but you can still notice it at lower speeds.

  It cant get any better than this. - 2012 BMW X3
  By vhc - November 29 - 11:23 pm

  This is my 7th BMW and I couldnt be happier. Looks stunning. Drives like a sports car. Comfortable sports seats that hugs you. Its been 300 miles and Im still getting use to the fun. I had the older X3 and this is night and day. The old x3 drived like a truck and was not comfortable at all. The 2012 model is extremely smooth with its 7 gears.

  Two weeks, four days old and in shop 17 days - 2012 BMW X3
  By jakepack - October 24 - 5:12 pm

  Production problems have bedeviled my 2012 X3. Continual drive train error messages/check engine light faults. I have driven a total of maybe 20 miles. It has sat in my dealers service area for 17 days out of the 18 I have owned it. My 5th BMW and quite possibly my last. I traded in a Q5 for this what a mistake.
