This car is a great car. It is easy and fun to drive. I really liked all of the different colors it came in. I ended up choosing the red, and I am very pleased with this car. This car has held up well to the wear and tear of the road. It has needed minimal repairs and has overall not given me many problems. It reliably starts, and it never gives me a hard time at all. I also really enjoy how fast it is. I have driven many sport SUVs that do not have much power behind the wheel. These cars are not that much fun to drive and really lack in power. However, with this vehicle, that is never an issue. There is a ton of pep to this car, and I never have felt dissatisfied with the acceleration. It also has a ton of room for storage. I have moved in and out of school with all the room in the vehicle. I somehow manage to fit a TV and a desk chair with a lot of other things in my car. It is a very nice car that I am incredibly pleased with. One thing I really like about the car is that it has an aux cable in the middle row allowing any of my passengers to play the music they like.

The BMW X3 had very weak gaskets that caused severe oil leaks. I had four different appointments to get the leaks addressed and fixed. A mechanic told us the gaskets weren't made for hot climates like Texas. In less than three months owning the car we had a leak on the passenger side where the water from the air conditioner would pool on the passenger car mats. They replaced something pretty major inside the console which was a major job.
