Buying a used BMW X3 - What should I look out for?

I'm thinking of buying a hi-spec BMW X3, year, 2010/11. Prices I'm being quoted are £16/17K for low mileage models. Is there anything I should be aware of when buying this model? Timing belts, niggling problems etc? Is there another model/make you would recommend of a similar spec?
