I just got my 2013 35i in August (11 days from factory order to delivery!), and I love it. No problems so far. It's the most fun I've ever had driving a car.

2000 miles and still loving it, despite that pesky start/stop feature, which I sometimes forget to turn off.

I will have had my X3 for 1 year at the end of the month and I haven't had issue issues so far. I am glad my 2012 doesn't have start/Stop on it, that would drive me nuts.

Got my X3 35i Msport late August, 3300km,,, no issue so far. Except i am exceeding my leasing mileage allowance... Really have to control my temptation and use my other car more :-)

I coded the ASS as memory the last state,, so ASS not a issue to me. BTW, i feel it's getting better after 2000km run-in.

I have no issues with the Oyster so far, it still looks great. I have spilled coffee on the drivers seat once but it wiped right up without any signs of the spill. I wipe down the seats with mequires leather cleaner about every 10 to 12 weeks.

Three years and 30,000 miles into my X3 and it's still a great vehicle. No problems, wonderful to drive. Finally starting to see a few others on the road.

I've had the felt tape fix done to my wife's X3 moonroof and it seems to be fairly squeak free. Even after two years with our '13 X3 she says all the time how she just loves it!

I will say as well coding is the way to go...

Cheers

Coming up on one year for me. 13,000 miles and no real problems. I did notice a tailgate rattle when 10 degrees out and I do have an occasional buzzing sound on acceleration when the motor is cold. Other than that, no issues.
I have an occasional out of balance feel to the tires but I blame the Goodyear LS tires, not the X3.

I am averaging 23 mpg overall with mostly city driving. Highway I can get 26-28!

Thanks for bump this up! Its truly a nice thread!

Had Mine for two month with 3300km on it. Everything works perfect and had a lot of fun on coding it (driving as well)! The new NBT works like a charm with loads of features.

Three different driving mode make the car feels like three different car. Once you tried the sports mode, you will find all the complains about power will be gone.

Coming up to 25K miles (so will exceed lease level) but still a great feeling as you get in and drive off... no issues (apart from a rear seat clip cover breaking) - mpg is even better, if I remember to care.... trying the LCI model at the weekend....mmmmm
Have the winter tyres which are great (not really essential here in UK but good to have)...

Almost 10,000 miles on our 2014 X3 28i. Has been faultless so far. My wife who's never had any interest in driving any of her previous cars has all of a sudden discovered that she loves to drive. Glad we went for the X3 over the Q5. Love it!

+1 Yes - we have 2 cars and sometimes I find the X3 is taken! Again someone who never "wanted" to drive and now we have to "share" trips...lol

and yes will update on the LCI model

Looking forward to your review and comparison of your original verses the lci model .. Particularly around the different engine- refinement and economy differences and ride/interior

Well tried the LCI and have to say its the same but different, lots of small changes adding up to a nice upgrade. Ours is a pretty "standard" model - auto seats is all we would add, and its a nice deal - basically £5K - and we can swap cars! -

Also tried a 3.0D X4 M .... now I can see what everyone raves on about, ok its more money but its nice very nice. The rear window is small, and road noise was slightly more noticeable as it has larger wheels.

1st problem - seat extender stitching coming undone. Stopped by dealer and they ordered new driver seat. No discussion no problem at the dealership. This is why I bought the BMW.
