2023 X3 Brooklyn Grey

Just found this sub and thought I'd join. Bought this late in '22 (nearing 50k miles now) and like it alot. M styling, suspension & brakes but still just a 4. I usually change cars every two or three years but (no offense whatsoever to the folks who like/own 25s or 26s) I just can't get into the new style or interior. I DO love the ride of the new ones that don't have the runflat tires I have. Hopefully there'll be something in the 27 line I like, I'd like to stay with BMW.

2 Apple Car play questions

Issue 1: the car will choose my wife’s phone every single time over mine even though mine is set to priority in the car. I have no idea why and it’s super frustrating. Is there some Car Play setting that I’m missing either on my phone or in the car? When I get in by myself it will still have trouble sometimes.

Issue 2: once I do hook up to car play everything works great UNTIL I get to where I’m going, get out, do my thing in a store and come back out and get in. Car play starts immediately which is great, song keeps playing, but now the steering wheel controls for next song or previous do not work, and pulling up the info on the HUD is only met with loading. Subsequent starts for the rest of day seem 50/50 as far as those controls working.

TIA.

2019/2020 M40i. Issues? Concerns?

Hey, plan on buying an older X3M40i. Has anyone had hefty builds or things fail that has been drastic? I'll probably be within the 30-50k mile range when purchasing, what scares me is that mostly all of them for sale are sold around that mileage.

I've heard nothing but great things from everyone thats owned a B58, but I get somewhat skeptical. I don't think I'll tune the car at all, probably just an exhaust and I don't really beat on my cars.

2019 BMW X3 XDrive30i

Hey guys! Are there any options for a rear diffuser for my x3 30i (non m-sport). This is my current rear end. I hate the stock diffuser and the silver part. I am wrapping it black, but, i was wondering if they make any rear diffusers or if anyone has found one for this car (besides maxton’s design rear diffuser which is just slits, but if there are no other options i’ll just go with that one)

thank you!!

Considering moving to X3

I’m considering trading my 535 for a 2026 x3 x-drive. I haven’t have experience with the BMW x-drive. My535 is a rear wheel drive. Is that worth moving to? What is the maintenance like for these?

Left side DRL slightly dimmer than right. Short term fix?

Recently got a low mileage 2021 M40i. It’s super clean, only thing that’s bothering me is that the left DRL is a bit off. I have heard of the issues with the module/ burning the tube, so I am thinking it could be that.

Wondering if anyone has used bimmercode to adjust the brightness on one side to even it out. Ultimately if it is just the module I’d get that replaced, but also not sure how to find that out without actually disassembling.

I also am aware of the ability to turn the DRLs off during the daytime in iDrive, but I’d like to have them on if I can even it out.

I may have made an impulse purchase and this is my first concern. 2007 x3 3.0i

Any idea what this noise is? This isn’t even the only issue. Theres a slight vibration at idle and above 60mph it gets worse. But only when Not accelerating. Which the ai says could be driveshaft linkage. I plan on taking it to mechanic on Monday to assess the situation.

There’s a couple other minor issues I’ve found that’s going to bring the repair bill up as well.

Headlight high beams only work when the stick is pulled in. When it clicks forward, the light comes on the dash but no brights.

I really want to love this car and want to believe these are manageable repairs. But this noise has me the most concerned. Thanks for sharing your time and expertise!

X3 M50, what a beauty.

I’m happy with any B58 honestly. Alpine White FTW. Render vs IRL?

I picked up the new for me car Thursday night. Drove about 10 km on Friday and today, Saturday, about 17 km. It’s all city driving, stop and go and a lot of coasting. When I checked the Trip Info., it shows 15.7L/ 100 km or 15 mpg. I am driving Econo mode. Please help me understand what’s going on.

Tire fit on a 2022 X3

I'm considering trading my 2018 X1 for a 2022 X3. I currently have a set of winter tires on rims (2025/50R18).

Would I be able to use them in the X3?

Thank you so much for your help!

Bought it two weeks ago, after I finally got tired of driving my '20 Ram Rebel. Obviously the difference is immeasurable, lolol. Lucked out finding a '23 in Tanzanite Blue with 51K on it. If the interior had been mocha or cognac, that would've been great, but alas....just black. Oh well.
