Two problems related to body have been reported for the 2015 BMW X3. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2020

My 2015 BMW X3 has less than 30,000 miles on it and the driver door closure pull is deteriorating to a sticky untouchable mess. Also the front glove compartment door leather is pulling away from the box leaving an open gap. I did research online and found that this is a recurring issue with BMW owners. This is a manufacturer defect and should be recalled by BMW to replace the defective interior. The vehicle has been garage kept to avoid heat or sun damage. When I contacted my BMW dealer I was told that this would result in 800-1000 repair cost. The leather interior is not the quality I expected from a 48,000 vehicle.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2018

Sunroof suddenly exploded while driving on a highway. It was like an explosion from the inside and the glass shattered. No external object hit the roof. The explosion impacted all the glass surface.
