New to Forum: Need some advice on a BMW X3
Greetings all,
Well, as the topic states I am new here and looking for some advice. I have the possibility of purchasing a 2005 BMW X3 2.5. The vehicle has 25,000 miles. My question is the following. Are there any known problems with these vehicles in regards to reliability? I know BMW's overall all pretty reliable as I have owned several sport wagons / sedans but I have never really read up on the SUV's . Any input on problems these vehicles are known to have or reliability issues would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! |

I don't have direct X3 experience, but in general, the most important things are BMW dealer service records, small number of previous owners, and low miles.
Cheers, Daniel.

Re: New to Forum: Need some advice on a BMW X3
Some minor problems with X3 is that some of the cabin materials used in earlier BMW X3 models do not meet the premium standards et by the 3 Series, so those expecting a luxurious, upscale environment may be disappointed.
