Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The X3 is a very nice car, even good value for the money, but at least 20k more expensive.
  • nunca será igual de “confortable” que un Audi Q5, BMW X3, un Mercedes GLC o un Volvo XC60.
  • The X3 was just better. The construction felt rock solid. The pickup was better, with no hesitation. The comfort was just a bit better.
  • The newer X3's use the B48 or B58 engines, both of which have been very reliable. I personally would see either of those engines as a reason to take the BMW over the Mazda.
  • BMW X5 looks Ann’s drives great too. However, I am not sure how reliable a 2021 BMW X3 would be with 70k miles

Cons

  • To me X3 was not comfortable at all
  • I love the x3 design till 2024. Hate the new design and interior but I enjoyed the driving experience.
  • My current daily driver is a 2012 BMW X3. I don’t know how a BMW would do with camping, but I’ve done a couple moves in my X3, and it packs a lot with the seats folded down. Even with the seats up the trunk is decently large. And BMW eng...
  • May sound like insanity but a 2 year old cpo bmw x3 w/ 11k miles was cheaper than ALL the reasonable options with less equipment and more miles. I wouldn’t recommend other luxury cars, but the X3 could be a strong choice as long as you...
  • the X3 really isn’t a “luxury” SUV in the same sense as an X5 or something. It’s more of a just a premium middle of the road crossover. It’s one of the most basic cheap models they sell.

My current daily driver is a 2012 BMW X3. I don’t know how a BMW would do with camping, but I’ve done a couple moves in my X3, and it packs a lot with the seats folded down. Even with the seats up the trunk is decently large. And BMW engines will go forever. But they are expensive to maintain, and I’ve had a lot of issues recently with electronics failing.

May sound like insanity but a 2 year old cpo bmw x3 w/ 11k miles was cheaper than ALL the reasonable options with less equipment and more miles. I wouldn’t recommend other luxury cars, but the X3 could be a strong choice as long as you accept the higher longterm maintenance costs.

It’s not even about reliability, just regular maintenance is more expensive for BMW
