2020 BMW X3 2.0d XDrive 2.0 turbo diesel from South Africa
Summary:
German luxury at its best... will leave you out of pocket once out of motorplan
Faults:
LED ambient lightning inside the car malfunctioned 3 times.
Wireless phone charger stopped working.
Annoying rattle in B pillar of car on right hand side.
General Comments:
Awesome and luxurious vehicle.
This model had almost all the bells and whistles.
It was easy to forgive the car all the little problems/faults... till the car was a year old and all 4 tyres had to be replaced with a mileage of 19000km.
It is not worth it to pay on average R23000.00 for 4 new tyres once a year.
Dealer service is not up to standard.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The review was made in 2016. BMW has had BIG problems with the n20 and n25 engines. Defective timing chain guide. Do some research on the internet. My daughter said the price of an engine replacement mentioned was CAN $25000. She did not have to pay as BMW repaired for free - keep those maintenance receipts! Strange that this defect is not in the news. I read that this has cost BMW half a billion dollars for repairs. I believe the 2014 X3 does not have this problem.
