Thanks for the video! Just bought a 2017 X3, what a car!! The past owner took very good care of it! My first high end car and so I’m totally excited that I got a great deal on it. Lots of new features to learn. Since I’m a visual person, your video will save me time on reading the manual!😁
Just purchased a 2016 X3 with the 300 hp inline 6. Fast with refined luxury. You should buy a used bmw certified machine.let someone else take the huge initial depreciation. Sounds like you will own one soon, you wont regret it.
I own an X3 and it really is a luxurious ride, fun to drive and just generally satisfying. The autohold feature is really useful for operating on city streets that are not flat .....in traffic the vehicle will not roll if your foot comes off the brake pedal. The sliding cargo hooks are used with the cargo net provided. You also missed the hill descend button that you can use to automatically set the speed at which the vehicle negotiates hills especially on gravel or snow.
Nice review. Had a similar reaction when I got one as a loaner from my dealer (had an older BMW). Was surprised how much I like it. You're right about all the little quality details and design touches. Stuck in my mind and 5 months later, I just pulled the trigger on buying one. Given that the new model is out now, you can score quite a deal on the older model. Agree, the shifter is weird for the first few days, but then it actually becomes second nature and traditional shifters seem kinda clunky in comparison. The lock button the rear hatch actually closes the hatch and locks the car by the way.
Thanks for the kind words. And "I just pulled the trigger on buying one"...?!?! Nice! I have no doubt you got a great deal. I actually bought a Kia Sedona (minivan) earlier this year in the same way. We saved a TON by buying the previous year's model. As for the lock button on the rear hatch, yeah, that was one of the things I figured out AFTER I posted the video. There's a bunch of stuff like that usually. If only I had a few more days with these cars I might be able to get all the details right. Anyway, enjoy your new ride!
Great review !! I own one of these and the only think I want to correct you on is the hatch , the first button closes the hatch without locking the doors and the second button closes the hatch and locks the doors .
Thanks for the kind words! And for catching my mistake. I only get a day or so with each rental, so I never really become an expert. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Hopefully, I'll get another one of these soon and I can correct my error. Drive safe! ✌️
Thank you so much for your thorough review. I found it so helpful. Thank you for your time making the video. Just got my x3 today happy...:) thank you again.
Thanks Lala. I really appreciate your kind words. And congratulations! I'm a bit jealous. The X3 is sooooo nice. I KNOW you're going to love it. Cheers!
100 rental cars i am getting a bmw x5 to use a towing vehicle so that it can tow my boat. Infact i own a super rare 2011 bmw 535i with a 6 speed manual transmission it’s an amazing car! Every bmw I have owned had a manual transmission i have not ever touched a single automatic.
You would like that CD player when you code it to do video in motion. Then your kids can watch a movie while on a road trip. Most important feature for me :)
@@100RentalCars There is an aftermarket app called Bimmercode that lets you customize almost every aspect of the car. All the way from changing the display that greets you on the dashboard to turning off seat belt chimes, etc. I didnt code too much... just those and of course the Video thing. You just plug it in, open the app and choose your settings. I enjoy your car reviews. Its refreshing to see somebody review everyday cars that real people can afford. Keep it up!
Did I miss it? Uggg. Dude, there were so many features on this car it was hard to cover them all. Sorry 'bout that. Hopefully, I get a chance to rent this one again. Although BMWs are pretty rare where I rent. If I do get another one, I promise I'll make blind spot detection a HUGE part of the video. Cheers!
Haha, don't bother, that was just my stupid joke, sorry:) Seriously though, I really hope that you'll find time and willingness to make more of these tests after you complete 100
Thanks man, I think I will keep going. Although making these is a lot more work than I anticipated, so I might slow down a bit after 100. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement! It helps.
For sure it must be a bit of a hassle so I think everyone appreciates your effort. Anyway, I wish I had an opportunity to drive so much, so many vehicles, and on so good roads. Cheers!
+Shabbir Naqvi Good idea. I've looked into it and it's not that expensive; however, most of my rentals are through work. I'm not sure they'd approve of me renting a Ferrari. But maybe I can do something special for reviews number 75 and 100 (I recently god a BMW X3 for #50). I was kinda hoping to try out the Tesla Model S and Model 3.
It wasn't quite THAT old, but close. Thankfully, this is and older video and I have upgraded my camera. Check out one of my newer videos and let me know what you think. Here's one: th-cam.com/video/AAeOGXqtQBU/w-d-xo.html

That’s just what I did. On my second X3. Both were used and are great deals.
Exactly my plan.
I just purchased the x3. I absolutely love it!

We have a 328i xDrive Sedan (basically the 4-door sedan version of this car) and love it! They're super fun to drive, economical, and pretty quick! :)
+Vincent D Nice! I'm a bit jealous, sounds like a great car. How long have you had it?
Really nice video. Accidentally came across. I am lucky to have a 2017 X3 and it’s awesome.
Thanks for the kind words Craig!
Love the details and true fascination and passion for cars.
does this one have USB port for iPod connection and for charging phone?
That cigarette lighter port is so 1996
J Maddox It has one in the center consul and in the back

You can always tell the size of the tires by reading the tire's sidewall.
+brorowcarwiz Doh, I knew that. Thanks for reminding me. Cheers!
Very good video. Fantastic car BMW X3 F25

Wow! Is that hard to do? We have a CD player in the minivan and THAT would be amazing for long road trips.

BMW 3 words luxury car company
+Colleen Rudder Agreed.
Look under the hood. The color name is printed somewhere near the strut tower. It looks Jet Black to me.
+Josh Brinson Really? I will next time. Thanks for the tip!
Have you been so impressed that you actually forgot about the blind spot detection?;) What a nice car, and it's not even an X5, not to mention X7

Trunk door is usually called hatch ;)
The hatch. Got it! I'll use it next time. Thanks!
