About the BMW X3
Premium compact SUV with luxury features and strong performance. Spacious interior and advanced technology. High-quality driving dynamics.
Reliability & common issues
Diesel variants (18d/20d, 2011-2014, F25) use the N47 engine, which has a well-documented timing chain that can stretch or snap between 60,000-120,000 miles. Petrol models are more prone to plastic cooling system component failures (water pump, thermostat) and electrical gremlins.
Luxury features but parts and labor are expensive. Full service history important. Specialist service recommended.
