2022 BMW X3 30i Long Term Review (Hard to Believe)

[@MrJFunk]

Digging my 2023 and changing the oil at every 5000 miles. Love the real wheel drive and same price as an upper trim RAV4 or Mazda CX-5. No regrets.

[@chrisdrives8204]

Glad to hear it 👍

[@skyscout11223]

I have a 2019 X3 30i at 60,000miles. Drives like new with no issues. (With every 5000miles oil change and every 30,000miles brake fluid, trans fluid, differential fluid and coolant change) IMO the shift point of transmission is not very ideal when cruising and the original run-flat tires are too noisy. I have changed them all so it's even better than new now

[@vivekgopinathan6960]

What do you mean by shift point?

[@justinbernardo8240]

i love that gauge vs the digital cluster. Hate how its all goign digital now

[@jack28399]

It will be a money pit if you hold on to a BMW for long. Do your research for previous version of BMW X3s. I won't rely even on the newer versions since its yet to be seen if it lasts past 80k miles.Previous X3s had lot of engine issues leading to permanent engine failure.There is a Class Action suit in US for previous BMW X3 defective engines.

I have a 2021 X3MSPORT 20 petrol and it’s brilliant I’m keeping it

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Thank you for an excellent owner review! Everything is on point, I appreciate your thoroughness on this X3! Great job

[@Lions_Gate]

Great video!!!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

I have a new-to-me 2021 M40i. So far, it's great vehicle. Still smells like new. And the power delivery is second to none.

[@Lions_Gate]

An amazing SUV…

[@jimmurphy216]

Sorry, not to nit pick but those aren't leather seats they are SensaTec (artificial leather)

[@chrisdrives8204]

Of course, don't know why I said that 🤦

[@bizzybezz]

Which hold up better than the real leather

[@Commonsense4Life]

That most likely helps with keeping that final price under control. I’ve been noticing that the Sensatech surfaces have been wearing really good.

[@Commonsense4Life]

I also noticed they’re aren’t a lot of comments on your video. That’s because the haters of BMW don’t like to hear this kind of positive news and good report. I knew of BMW older cars and suvs reliability issues. But after seeing how they have improved greatly over the last six years. And now seeing the X3 and X5 are at the top of their perspective classes is pretty impressive indeed.

[@jimmurphy216]

To add context to my earlier comment regarding the sensatec seats, I own a ‘22 BMW 330i with the Sensatec seats and I can say that a) they are more comfortable than some of the leather seats offered in this model, and b) they do wear very well. People who ride in the car think they are leather. These seats are wearing very well, they still look and feel like new. My comment wasn’t a dig on Sensatec seats on BMWs, but more of a correction of fact in the video. I could tell by the pattern in the seat that they were not leather but Sensatec. Hope that clears it up. Great video. Keep up the good work.

Im at 40k km now and everything you say is true. I only miss better outside noise insulation. Mercedes does this one thing better.

[@paulhenry913]

Purchased a new gen 25 and it's super quiet

[@SPSteve]

I have a 2022 X3 SDrive 30i. It's a good comfortable car but the tech sucks.

[@keponen331]

it better feel like a new car, 3y is nothing. check back in 10y

[@davidalenick1246]

Modern day BMWs can go 100k miles relatively trouble free. Their reliability is much improved.

[@jfcn474]

Yes, I thought we are reviewing a 2002 X3, a 2022 one, for a good brand, not even warm up !

[@epiccowboymemes2042]
