2009 BMW X3-Series Consumer Opinions from Around the Web

Found 1 consumer opinions, showing 1-1:


Other Choices:

While the BMW X3 was the lone luxury compact crossover ute a few years ago, there are now plenty of great alternatives. The new Volvo XC60 comes with a torquey inline six-cylinder engine, like the BMW, but it has a roomier interior and, some will think, a more fashionable interior. Volvo also offers more high-tech safety features. The Land Rover LR2 is related to the XC60 but has more off-road credibility, along with a more cluttered interior design. Two new entries, the Mercedes-Benz GLK and Audi Q5, look to woo buyers looking for a smaller yet very luxurious SUV. The GLK has some measure of off-road ability, while the Q5 aims at the crowd planning to stay on-road. The most refined vehicle in this class, the Acura RDX, is a stiff competitor but suffers a bit from a choppy ride and a slightly off-base, zippy turbocharged engine; TheCarConnection.com’s editors also think that the RDX has the best handling.

  1. By BMW X3 Buy #1, Posted: 9/15/2009

    I am the very VERY disappointed owner of a brand new 2009 BMW X3. Here are some points:
    - 10 mpg city driving.
    - bucking, rocking, rolling, unstable ride at low speeds on regular streets. This is beyond normal SUV hard riding, this is bouncy like a ball.
    - hesitation to accelerate from a stop in a turn uphill.
    - Automatic transmission problems may not have been completely fixed from the 2007 model. See bimmerfest.com for much more information on this subject.
    - Sudden down shifting and loss of speed.
    No one needs to be told how expensive a car this is. Everyone needs to be told BEFORE BUYING what the issues are.
    It is sometimes difficult to find the right sites and it is just pure lack of luck that I did not find out about this car beforehand as I would NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. Can I say yellow fruit?
