Issues with the electronics

5/5 Excellent 615 views

I have mixed feelings about the BMW X3. While it provides a smooth and comfortable ride, I've had some concerns about its electronics. The infotainment system controls practically all the aspects of the car, from climate control to transmission setting. I've had to take the car to the service center four times in less than three months, which is ridiculous. Due to a perimeter sensor failure, the cruise control stopped operating, and the sound system intermittently cut out. Because of these concerns, I'm worried about the car's durability.

My workday-to-weekend companion
The BMW X3 hits that sweet spot I never knew I needed— SUV practicality without losing BMW’s signature tight handling. I recently took it out on a short PJ-Port Dickson run, during which the cabin was of a great help. The 3-zone climate control system ensured everyone of us... Read More

Has the capability to overtake veteran nameplates
Everything is quite good so far with the BMW X3. The exterior is an attention-grabber. Also, in the Comfort default mode, this car can easily deliver on the highway an exceptional 33 mpg, which is even better than the official rating. I am now using the Comfort mode on highway... Read More

Very plain and uninteresting to drive
I really had high hopes for the BMW X3 as all those who have owned it in my circle swear by its performance and comfort. But I find the X3 to be very plain and uninteresting to drive. It neither feels comfortable nor sporty. I find this vehicle to be very annoying. Steering... Read More

Very unreliable and complex ergonomics
I was very happy to buy the BMW X3, but after spending a few weeks with it I’m starting to regret my decision. It is smooth and comfortable and absorbs bumps and potholes effortlessly. Post COVID our roads have become worse, and the X3 makes driving feel less like a chore. But... Read More
