I've had lots of cars and now I just wouldn't get cars with big low profile wheel/tyre set ups. They jar everything, don't feel right, make the ride crap and lead to tyre and/or wheel damage.
I agree @mattwright2964 they look good but what good is that if the car doesn’t feel right especially when it comes to ride and handling which are so crucial for me personally
Hope you enjoy. Apparently the X5 isn’t quite as susceptible to the transfer box issues but still can suffer. This is from a BMW specialist not me. As long as you get a good one that hasn’t been messed with I’m sure you’ll be fine. Lovely cars both 👍
@@wiwon I sold it for £7K less than I paid a year later. Transfer box was causing it to skip. S drive is a safer bet and will drive even better in dry conditions anyway 👍
I live in Napa with crazy mountain turns hair pins beautiful winding roads long stretched crest over right turns and left. The msport 35i x3 2017 I have drives incredible and I’ve owned older bmws. I’m actually really surprised at how well this sub handles. For reference I race vehicles in amateur league, so I understand what a car feels like at the limit, didn’t say I’m a great driver 😅but I do have some experience and this vehicle really holds its own. I wonder have you ever really pushed it around some back roads?
@@LafemmebearMusic to be fair I never really did push it that hard. We’ve got some great back roads here in Cornwall but I’ve got a cayman s for my handling needs! The bmw was always a comfort car for me. I loved the ride and handling for such a big car though especially once I put non run flats on 👍
Yeah I got rid mate. My BMW Indy reckoned it was likely to cost me thousands even the chain was rattling at times! Lovely cars when looked after though 👌
You’ve got aftermarket wheels on the car surely that wouldn’t be helping the situation

I'm trading up to either an X3 or X5 from an E90 and this is useful information - thanks.

How is your BMW? Did it broke down or had problems? I recently bought a BMW X3 2016 sdrive28i
