Question type: General

I have a 2017 BMW 330i and am 5'9" tall but have a hard time seeing over the
hood for parking. Would a BMW X3 have better visibility

Sit in it and see. Adjusting the seat up higher should help.

I've adjusted seat in 2017 330i as high as possible and it didn't help. However in my last 5 BMW sedans I could adjust the drivers seat much higher but not the 2017. Can the seat in the 2019 or 2020be adjusted higher? I've just moved to Kewaunee, WI where the closest BMW dealer is an hour away for test drive vs where I lived in Barrington, I'll and Motor Werks was 1 mike from my home.

Any SUV will give you a better view since the vehicle is up higher. But you won't see any better past the hood. That is why the new vehicles come with parking sensors both front and rear. I'd recommend the X5 over the X3 due to being more comfortable and versatile.
