Been driving these cars for 15 years, every car purchased used from original owner, been driving 2012 X3 past several years. I would recommend you find a car with 6 cylinder engine; particularly with X3- at 4,200+ lbs. these are heavy cars to move- BMW has an excellent reputation for manufacturing one of the best inline 6 engines throughout its history. Get a complete service/repair history and review, pay an independent Euro car mechanic to perform a pre-purchase inspection before you close a deal, money in the bank on one of these cars. Reliability is generally good if you are diligent about regular service, that's key with these cars.
