Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 X3

The 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i is an extremely difficult car to maintain when compared to other similar models. You will have to remove a large panel from under the vehicle in order to reliably access the lower radiator hose. This will require you to contend with gravity as you complete. The battery is more complicated to remove than usual, as you will need to remove many more components than usual to complete. You will have to completely remove the tail light housing in order to access the bulbs. This housing can grow tight to the vehicle and be a problem to pull out.

Most repairs on the 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i are difficult to complete, but there are some easier aspects. The oil fill cap is easily accessible in the engine bay, allowing you to fill the oil easily. The tire pressure stick is easy to spot on this vehicle. It’s important to keep the air in your tires at the recommended level. On one side, changing your headlight is extremely easy, as you only have to reach behind the housing for access. The other side only requires you to move a reservoir for access.
