The 2017 BMW X3: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 BMW X3 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2017 BMW X3, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an 8-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Plan on about 30 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.0 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.50 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What the X3 is like
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the X3 for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the X3 answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
When you know your dates
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
