Hi all, My X3 is in schedule on 2 weeks for inspection 1, 27K miles. I printout from BMW OC's the suggested checklist inspection I maintenance schedule, that explain to us "know exactly what to expect when your BMW is serviced". On the list I highlighted a few items and add a few mores. If someone already went to bring your X3 on inspection I and want to share their experiences is welcomed. Thanks,  X3_3.0 2004, Alpine White, Gray Montana, Steptronic

Replying to: xxmanutdxx (May 07, 2006 9:06 am) Does the indicator have the indents (you can feel them) or is this completely a sensor based version (like the other BMW's are at this point?) The switch may have the lane change feature which should allow you to hold the switch down for 1/2 second and release and the signal will continue for 3 or 4 more "blinks." Holding the stalk down for longer will activate the turn feature which does require the wheel to be articulated some number of degrees. At first you think it is you, then you learn to use the deft touch. On the other hand, stuff happens, things do break or are born broken. It seems improbable, but not impossible that this is what happened to you. |

It is difficult for me to read all of the badgering of the X3. Whether on this board or others...I must vent. If the ride is too stiff for you, get something else. If the trunk is too small, get something else. If the 0-60 is too slow, get something else. If the MPG is too low, get something else. If the price is too high, get something else. If the interior is not for you, get something else. If your looking for a vehicle that offers excellent winter traction, let's in lots of sun in the summer, provides an elevated stance on the road, gives some extra storage and utility and does it all with an almost 3-series like drive, then buy/lease the X3. I have an '04 X3 3.0, White w/Terr. In 26 months, only two or three trips to the dealer so far. Ok, I'm done now.

I am curious to know how many mpg people are getting in mixed and city driving on a tankful of gas in their 2006 X3s? Thanks.

Replying to: bodble2 (May 01, 2006 3:16 pm) bodble2, are you still there. I got kind of busy and haven't had a chance to reply...sorry. I agree that a Tuscon gets better mileage, a Jeep or Rover is better for off roading, a Lexus will be more reliable, etc. And, you are correct best is relative. I should probably say IMHO, I believe the X-3 has the best combination of engineering, looks, handling, most comfortable seating, and best overall thought out design (not too large, lots of cargo room,easy to reach controls. And every report I have read has been positive saying it is the closest to a car of any of the other SUV's. That is only my opinion, and I would be curious to know what you think is better? Of course, someone else will say a Lexus is best, and that will be their opinion. By the way, ride quality is very relative. I like to feel the road, so I don't mind the bumps...feels better than that spongy ride where you lean all over on the corners. |

Replying to: vsroman (May 12, 2006 11:03 am) Speaking of emotions, no one can make me not love my X3. I have had mine for a couple of months and just keep lovin it more and more. |
