The BMW X3 is the perfect combination of sedan and suv, though not in the same way a hatchback is. It has tons of room to start out with and the seats fold down to make even more room. Like any BMW, it has a tight feel and really gives the driver complete control of the vehicle. Also like most BMWs though, the passenger experience is awful. A bumpy ride and stiff leather seats that don't provide much cushion. You almost feel bruised after a long car ride. Everything looks great though. The outside build of the vehicle is minimal but owns the BMW SUV look and the inside is fairly minimal in design. This vehicle also feels very safe and sturdy. You feel like you're driving a vehicle made of steel effortlessly. The are almost no blind spots to speak of as well. Over all it's a good vehicle but the parts must not be of great quality because something breaks on this vehicle every couple of months. The transmission even died at 45,000 miles. Being a BMW, those repairs get expensive, especially once your 100,000 mile warranty is up.
