The car itself is great. I love the size and performance but I think the fit and finish, especially for an $80k vehicle, is an embarrassment. It's easy to blame Spartanburg but this think lower models like the X3 have less stringent QA because I had no fit and finish issues with my X5 from the same factory

Coming from an F15 X5, i find that the engineering and quality in the X3 is pretty lackluster... It's not terrible, but you can tell it's on a lower level than the X5...
And to think my 2017 was actually tech from 2012-13...
I chose to go with the M40i and I am not disappointed in the driving dynamics of it whatsoever... Just couldn't justify the price of the M... |
Care to elaborate on the build quality issues? Of course the X3 isn't going to be quite as premium as the X5, just as my X3 makes my wife's X1 look like a dinosaur. |
For starters:
Driver door didn't line up with the body
All four lower door trim pieces were loose.
Alcantara trim on bolsters aren't taught
Paint peeling on lower rear bumper
Finger prints on the LED lenses
Minor dent in dashboard
