Thinking of buying the 2020 BMW X3?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 BMW X3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is what to know about the 2020 BMW X3 before buying one.
What to check on the X3
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 110 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
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. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 8.9 L/100 km: about 27 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $15.58 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the X3 makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the X3 answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $155.80 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Does the 2020 BMW X3 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 16 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2020 BMW X3 cost in fuel a year?

Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
