Thinking of buying the 2015 BMW X3?
No 2015 BMW X3 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2015 BMW X3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the X3 answers the big questions. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the X3 on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
When you know your dates
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2015 BMW X3 from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2015 BMW X3 for you and reply within one business day.
