Hi All,
I'm considering picking one of these up and was hoping to get some feedback from those who own one, particularly any red flags to be aware of or costly maintenance items. All the reviews I've read seem to suggest that overall this is a solid vehicle. I have an F30 with the N20 and am privy of the timing chain issues, but from my understanding the 2015 after a certain date (March?) onward are unaffected by this. Primary use would be a work commuter. Also before I'm told, I would love to get the V6, but it's out of my range at this time. Any feedback would be appreciated! Edit: Title was supposed to be 15/16 |

My wife as a 16 X3 sdrive28i and uses it for her daily commute to work. It's been almost flawless. Only two minor issues so far in 5 years of ownership. 1) window seal on rear passenger side door failed fresh out of factory. 2) driver seat bottom ripped. Both replaced under warranty.
No other mechanical or electrical problems. Only other annoyance is it seems to burn a quart of oil every 1k to 2k miles. We've started using a slightly heavier weight oil (factory wants 0w-20, we started to use 5w-30) and it hasn't burned any since. |

Also, regarding the oil weight, I did the same on my F30 and noticed I haven't had the issue since (happened once or twice). |
