SUV car BMW X3 or Benz GLC/GLB

[Webdev]

Hi,

I'm in between BMW X3 & Benz GLC. I liked few features in both. Any BMW/Benz car owners ? Trunk space wise GLC is bigger than GLB but some extra USB cabels are missing in GLC, other than interior is same.TIA.

BMW all day any day if you love driving and care about driving experience. 
If you have the budget, test drive X3 M40i and you’ll be mesmerized

Checked both XC60 & XC 90 test drive today.I felt XC 60 2nd row is similar to GLC & BMW X5, XC 60 cargo space is similar to both, except XC 90 cargo space is big.But seats comfort wise(head rest) Benz & BMW are good.Volvo 2024 interior is not that great, except front & rear heated seats , cargo space options.2024 Volvo XC 90 plus model in stock price $67 k all inc.

I been driving X3 from 6 years. I love the drive experience. My opinion Benz is chick car.

wow no hybrid pugin ev tesla bullshit talk..after long time seeing this kind of post..

i had x3 for 2 yrs, and glc for 2 yrs.

X3 - Awesome driving experience, more trunk space, free navigation, free oil changes for 3 yrs, better gas mileage

GLC - Comfortable long drives, relatively less repairs after the warranty expires.

GLB - more trunk space due to the boxy structure. Narrow and small interior for passengers.

PM me if you want more info.

Benz extended warranty is good(take it). Overall less maintenance. If you like the looks, which generally is the deal breaker, Benz on any given day. X3 is a high maintenance car when compared to GLC.

people have misconception that BMW are high maintenance and cost a lot of money. Yes, they require maintenance on the dot as they're high performance precision machines and their tolerances are really tight and are as reliable as Japanese if you maintain them regularly

find a good German indy in your area and avoid dealerships once warranty expires

But in general, nothing matches BMW drive other than Porsche

I have 52k miles on my x3 and I have changed tires once and that is the only big expense I paid so far.

that's what I mean. Gone are the days when BMW was not reliable. Their current B58 engine is literally bulletproof

no big issues on my 435 GC so far and 55k miles, brakes were replaced under maintenance plan

what tires you use? I'm a big fan of Continental and Michelin tires. Currently have Michelin ps4s and they're awesome
