Thinking of buying the 2013 BMW X3?
No 2013 BMW X3 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2013 BMW X3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the X3
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
At 9.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 30 litres of fuel. In money, 1,000 km costs about $173.30 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the X3
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
A longer test drive
Rent the X3 for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Make a request
Questions about trying a car first? Ask in your request.
Rent it for a week before you buy

Does the 2013 BMW X3 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
