The car has part analogue part digital display, the MPH is displayed only via the analogue dial in 10 MPH increments. It's difficult to maintain speeds at 25 / 35 /45 /65 mph. The functionality exists to enable the digital speedometer but BMW refuses to code it on. Rather the company directs you to after market coders to enable the functionality. Alternatively you needed to opt to the $1000 optional fully digital display but this was not made clear at the sales process. BMW has a solution for the 2019 / 2020 X3 under SIB 62 07 19 but refuses to acknowledge this at service centers.

On April 12, 2021 I was driving my 2021 BMW X3 and as I was pulling up into a parking stall, my vehicle accelerated on its own causing my vehicle to collide with a brick wall.

3 times today shortly after engaging cruise control and setting it to 75mph, the vehicle accelerated quickly to over 90mph and had to be manually disengaged. When this happened, I did not have my foot on the gas and didn't press any of the cruise control buttons except to disengage it when it dangerously accelerated on its own.

My car's speedometer only displays speed in 10 miles increments, which makes it nearly impossible to know exact current speed of the car. For example when speed is between 50 and 60 I can only guess what my actual speed is, 52 or 58. BMW for some strange reason sells an optional package which enables accurate digital speedometer, and I think accurate speedometer must be standard. This is a safety issue.
