TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 BMW X3

2014 BMW X3 Available Features: Cons
YearComment
Since you can add $15,000 in options, the BMW X3 is clearly available with a large number of features. Some, like the power adjustable side bolsters, aren't available in competitors. But competitors have some features not available in the North American X3. We can't get adaptive cruise control, blind sport warning, lane departure prevention, or a drowsiness monitor. If you put a high priority on the latest safety-related tech, you might prefer a Mercedes-Benz GLK350. Then again, many driving enthusiasts prefer not to have these features. see full BMW X3 review
