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. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2017 BMW X3 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: 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.
It is rated at 10.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 30 litres. Every 100 km costs about $17.50 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who the X3 suits
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the X3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the X3 on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
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. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Your move
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
