How it scores for you10 scores
An X3 with a fastback tax — sportier stance, less headroom and cargo, and the same aging-engine caveats.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 5 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 14% of cars we track.
17.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 21% of other SUVs we track.
The sloped roof cuts rear headroom and cargo to 17.7 cu ft — the practicality tax is real.
Stiffer and lower than the X3; the M40i brought real pace to the coupe-SUV niche.
The same aging mid-2010s iDrive as the F25 X3.
A firmer ride and tighter cabin than the X3 in exchange for the roofline.
Luxury brands like BMW tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
