Absolutely in love with my blacked out 2022 x3 Msport. We got the upgraded leather from this model and it’s LUXURIOUS! It’s the epitome of sporty and luxury, without paying Porsche macan prices

2022 was a big jump for the X3, now you get remote start and iDrive recorder for that peace of mind. I also think the tail lights looks way nicer now.

Drove my brand new X3 xdrive30i to Florida last month...what a fabulous ride made the 1300 mile trip a breeze

I picked up my x3 xdrive in Brooklyn gray a week ago, I got the m sport package, coming from a m240i convertible, I find the power quite fine for everyday driving

Living in the Desert I had zero need for four wheel drive.taking 150 lbs off the front Axel and rear wheel drive sold me on my 22 Sdrive.

[greekcs]

Wish they still offered acoustic side glass on the X3.

[nallis]

Considering if I should get this or the RDX A spec. Wife and I were considering the Macan or the Velar but given that work is predominantly from home these days, I am sticking to something more afforfable if it's going to sit in the garage or on the driveway more often during the lease period.

Thank you so much during this review for NOT showing the rear seat cup holders.

[Shaggy]

You know this is an American review when they call an X3 a "Compact" car 😂

Lol. We were just talking about my friend’s beautiful 2020 bmw. Engine oil leak, they wanted $15, 000 to repair. I was thinking about bmw coz it looks good. But not with oil leak at 30, 000 miles and $15k repair bill. Nope!

My 2020 BMW X3 has engine mounts that went bad after just after the 50k warranty went out. It also has an oil leak. Lemon? Wonder if BMW has looked at those issues?

[RAMONEAuto]

Just picked up mine yesterday I’m in love

I would not recommend the X3. The car has been in the shop 4 times in the first 4000 miles due to electronics. The sound system crashes (radio, bluetooth, blinker sounds) monthly around the time the Sirius legal notice screen comes up. Secondly, the driving assistant stops working. The other observation is too many tie ins to the infotainment system, cluster, and car inputs. A driver's seat position or steering heat is a cluster message. The infotainment is on the cluster and the head unit. This car will not age well. For instance, if you get slush on the forward sensors, the driving assistant disables AND Apple car play does not work. We do not plan on keeping it past the warranty. One major design flaw is sound damping. There is so much road noise, the first day I drove on wet roads, I was pulling the window switches because I thought one was open. Small annoyances such as needing to glue a piece of felt on the B pillar because the passenger seatbelt buckle rattles on the trim and the backup camera does not retract so we are wiping it twice a week in winter. Also, BMW has a Passive AWD system so the rear wheels need to break free before the front grab. It is the worst of the AWD cars we have had (Quattros, 4 Matics, X Drives). You have to slow down or it will understeer in snow or hit the gas and oversteer until the front pulls. We are at 5000 miles and just received a Drivetrain Malfunction code and recommendation that we go to the dealer (will be our 5th time). I have a 2007 Kia Sedona with 150k miles and it has dropped off our new Mercedes for a failed steering column, our 1 year old Audi for a new transmission, and this car 4 times for electronics.

It is not a 10.3 inch touchscreen anymore. It has been upgraded with this version to a 12.3 inch touchscreen for infotainment.

The X3 is not valued by BMW dealers in North America. I was offered $2, 000 for my 2013 X3 with 100, 000 miles! Give me a break, why would I think of getting another BMW product if this is the respect it gets from a dealer?!

[GeegiStar]

don't like that they removed the 360 and front camera. so only back camera for now.. but other than that, lovely

[brendagibson]

I Love my 2022 BMW ! I only wish I could drive it more, so beautiful makes me feel good when I am in it.💖💖💖👍

[wild_lifeman]

What a great grey color!, What is this color?

[acde]

I think many others have noticed the same thing as me that the 2022 X3 isn’t currently offering the Driver Assistance Pro package and the Harman&Kardon sound system. I’m not sure whether it is due to the chip shortage.

[hobahoba]

I drove X3 since 2019 and just change it to 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman and I love Mini Countryman much better!!
