![]() It does eat oil so i change it every 3k at walmart now for about $60. The clearance is low so im extra careful on speed bumps. Ive driven all four seasons and all conditions (obviously not driving in deep snow). I always love the taillight full bar illuminated, and the fog lights (which actually help in bad rain). Ive never had an issue with much of anything on the car. ![]() Ive used the manual shift thing, its kinda fun. I have reached its top speed (limited) and it didnt feel scary. I have xm radio so I always get nice tunes, the sound system is pretty good but im not beating the ear drums off. I used the car to uber, and ive driven from dc to charlotte multiple times. I am a pretty tall guy and with the seat all the way back, it is actually a very comfortable ride. So i have had plenty time behind the wheel of my car. I bought a 2015 rallye with around 20k on it in december 2016. Overall, the car has been very reliable and a joy to drive! If you buy this car used, be sure to pay attention to the features and how it was optioned. My older BMW's had a lot of these more common features standard. You have to add leather, a sunroof, heated seats, etc. Another example is if you do not get the Navigation, you do not get the nicely done, upscale graphics on the speedometer area. I will say that BMW has this peculiar way of stripping the cars down in the past 10 years and labeling it as "customization." You notice the small things such as no puddle lights on my particular car, as well as having to get packages for an improved interior/exterior. Cargo space is adequate for this class and three average sized adults can fit in the backseat comfortably. Feature wise, I fully recommend the backup camera and parking sensors as well as the heated seats/steering wheel. The handling feels like the 3 series sedan! Going up and down hills and mountainsides feels secure. ![]() It is easy to park and has a tight turning circle. I have taken this car on long trips a few times this year and it is great on gas, very comfortable seats and great visibility. The ride is super comfortable for day to day as well as trips. The software update has smoothed out the throttle greatly. Prior to it, I had the aggravating slow response met with a rush of acceleration. Acceleration is great after getting the software update. 2012 is the last year the 28i is powered by the 3.0L inline 6. The second generation is certainly a few steps above as far as comfort, style and driving performance. I have owned the original X3 and followed up with this model.
