Thoughts on this 2011 x3 35i?

tracer bullet · 10-18-2018, 09:53 AM

I keep my cars about 10 years, my 1-Series is going on 8 and it'll probably actually be around more than 2 more years. Unless my X3 falls apart I'll have it a long time as well. I liek cars and want to drive fun ones, but realistically I'd rather retire early than swap them out every so often and keep taking that initial loss in value over and over again.

I do agree the majority of owners are more interested in the badge and / or turn them around quickly.

I have a 2011 X3 35i and am happy with it, I did replace the water pump @80k but I cant seem to get rid of it as I really like it and its paid off if you do not mind little nick nacks to fix every now and then these x3 35i's are a blast to drive

My 2011 X3 35i is going strong with over 110k miles. Replaced water pump and other expected maintenance for the mileage, nothing out of the ordinary. The only annoying issue was the delaminated glove box door, but I replaced it.

Did you buy the X3? looks like it is still for sale...

Yep, picked it up yesterday, wife was out of town to visit her dad, had it sitting in the garage for her when she got home, she had no idea
