We have narrowed down our search for a small suv to the X3 and the Mazda CX5 (surprisingly good car imo). Eliminated the x5 (too big and heavy) and Q5 (boring). We are going to be looking at a local 2012 X3 2.8i with 48k miles this afternoon that sounds great other than their asking price (prem, tech, cold weather, prem sound, convenience, sport activity). They are asking $29.5k which sounds a bit high...

Anyway, it generally sounds like the 2012 x3 is decently reliable, but I would appreciate things I should be looking for or worried about on it. Thanks.
