Are they reliable - yes if you are willing to do preventative maintenance. Why preventative - because they are performance vehicles. All vehicles are expensive to repair not just BMW's. Would I recommend a BMW X3 for your daughter - yes and there many good Indy shops in the Denver area.

I live in the Denver metro area and heartily endorse everything you've posted here. Good winter specific tires are a must as is preventative maintenance. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.
