    2010 BMW X3 about to purchase

    Hello everyone. We are about to look at a 2010 X3 xdrive 30i tomorrow. It has 50k mi on it. Any tips what to watch for on a low miles car?

    Replacement for the 2000 323ci with 240k mi that was totaled. Wife’s car.

    Thank you

    Do parking lot maneuvers (slow, sharp turns) and see if the front tires feel like they're hopping - a good sign of transfer case failure.

I saw your post when you were in my shoes and curious to how it went and any advice you may have based on experience.
