I also had an E46 before my E90 and its had its issues but nothing major at all.
I've always heard the X5 reliability rating wasn't that great either.
The X3 fits the bill in terms of what i need from my next car and I really do hope bmw gets these kinks worked out soon.

Depends how you define usual really. Over time you'll get more and more posts on forums so you can't really compare it with the number of reports on older models. I would refer you to Le Chef's post and actually look at real statistical data rather than guessing that there must be a high chance of getting an X3 with an issue. As I mentioned, take the steering issues and you have 4 reports against maybe about 50,000 F25s produced. Let's say less than 1 in 20 people have reported this issue on this forum and there are in fact 100 new X3s out there with this issue. That's 0.2%. That's not a concern for me really
