Thinking of buying the 2014 BMW X3?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 BMW X3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2014 BMW X3, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the X3
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. 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.
Plan on about 30 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.9 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.33 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the X3
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the X3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the X3 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the X3 tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
One more step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2014 BMW X3 from us first.
