I love my X3. I had been wanting this car for a long while before I actually purchased it. I know that BMW represents quality and craftsmanship, so that my money would be well spent. My car has all the bells and whistles. I have white Italian leather seats which are incredibly comfortable! There's wood grain trim on the dashboard and the doors. It also has something that has come in handy to me often. That is the navigation. Its great and surprisingly easy to use. It has a panoramic sunroof which is a really nice feature whether is nice and sunny or rainy. It lets just the right amount of light in. I like the fact that the things I use the most are on the console to the right of the driver side. It's so much easier than trying to fool around on the dash when driving. The one thing I really like is the fact that for an SUV it is not too far off the ground. It is just right which is merciful for my bad knees. I had contemplated getting the X5 model but chose the X3 specifically for that reason. When I tried to get into the X5 for a test drive, I knew it was going to be a problem for me. The salesman insisted that they had one with running boards, but I rejected that right away because I don't like how the running boards look on the BMW. It kind of games something way.

Overall this is the best car I have personally owned, I have owned nothing but Jeeps my whole life and this is the first "luxury" model vehicle I have had the means to afford. The things I like in this car is it is not that new. It is in the price range for my class level. It is the only car I have owned and not modified. There really isn't much need to modify this because it's fast stock. I love the sound system in this thing, there is no distortion at all when it is bumping bass or pumping metal through the cabin. It has plenty of cabin room, I have another BMWs door sitting in there for delivery and can still fit more stuff in there. I have used this for moving and It packs just as much as my ford ranger. Another thing I like is the fact that a tank lasts forever, I do not have the computer version to give a mpg number but Its pretty high. The SUV just looks stunning, It's a low maintenance silver color, I barely have to wash it. These cars are also incredibly easy to work on. I have worked on 3 BMWs, all within this model with varying years and engine types, I swapped doors, hoods, headlights, bumpers, and fenders off these. They are all straight forward and well documented online. A++ would recommend if you have tight budget.

My favorite part of my is the Panoramic sunroof. The fact that it goes all the way to the backseat is awesome. It opens up the outside world to the vehicle. Especially on nights when the weather is perfect it makes driving that much better. I also like the comfort of the seats. I've been in a lot of cars with leather seats and these seats still hold up to a lot of different vehicles in different price ranges. The room and space is really nice too. I was originally going to buy the Sedan but the suv was wider and was a little higher off the ground. The only con I can think of is the gas mileage. Sure I understood it wasn't fuel efficient when I first purchased it but that has to be the main issue. The other thing I dislike is the heated seats. They do work don't get me wrong but I think the low to high settings are kind of one extreme to the next. I do appreciate them a lot because it is the first thing I turn on those really cold mornings and nights. But it seems a little strong on the far end.
