Common Problem

TL;DR
• Known issues include front active air vent grill motor failures, CarPlay glitches, and tire wear problems. • Regular maintenance and careful selection of tires can mitigate some issues.
Active Air Vent Grill Motors
One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the 2020 BMW X3 is the failure of the front active air vent grill motors. This problem is significant enough that BMW has extended the warranty for this component to 10 years or 150,000 miles. The issue typically manifests as the grill slats failing to close properly, but it is generally an easy fix and often covered under warranty.
CarPlay and Electronics Glitches
Several users have reported experiencing glitches with Apple CarPlay in their 2020 X3s. These issues seem to be more of an annoyance than a major problem, but they are worth noting if you rely heavily on CarPlay for navigation or entertainment.
Tire Wear Issues
Tire wear, particularly uneven and rapid wear, is another common concern among 2020 BMW X3 owners. Some users have experienced significant tire wear at relatively low mileages, which may be exacerbated by the use of run-flat tires. Switching to non-runflat tires might improve longevity and ride comfort. It's also suggested that alignment checks be performed by independent shops to ensure accuracy.
Other Mechanical Concerns
For specific models like the x30i, there are reports of needing to replace motor mounts, coolant hoses, and eventually the water pump. These issues are not unique to the 2020 model year but are worth considering when planning for long-term maintenance.
General Reliability
Overall, many owners report positive experiences with their 2020 BMW X3s, citing few major issues aside from those mentioned above. The vehicle is often praised for its driving dynamics and overall performance. Regular maintenance and addressing minor issues proactively seem to contribute to a satisfactory ownership experience.
