I love my first BMW - X3. It is incomparable. The handling is super!! the best!!! I traded my old RX300 and drove the new RX330:the drive are the same. The new RX330 had some minor detail enhancement and that's all. I was not impress at all and to think that I've worked at Toyota in Torrance for more than 6 months. I know fully well that after owning the RX300 for 5 years which that the X3 is really different. The fuel consumption are about the same with my old car, but of course I've been driving the freeways.

If you like the X5, but can't afford it, look at this. The X3 has the looks of the X5, and the pricetag of the 325i. Right now, I'm 13 years old. My dad bought one and he loves it! He has to drive about 60 miles a day and its gas mileage is good for a car that size (I'm a car fanatic). If you haven't driven one yet, do PLEASE!

Picked up the X3 today after not being able to get together with the VW Dealer on a Toureg. More money than the VW but I think I will really like the choice. Tested the X5 also. The X3 seemed as comfortable...felt a little lighter... and more nimble. Feels more agile than the Toureg. Opted for Met. Black w/ 6speed manual. FUN!! Quality seems great, fit and finish perfect, milage shows about 21.5. Clutch is touchier than my Jetta TDI but am getting used to it. The 3.0 doesn't seem as quick as my wifes A4 with the 1.8 turbo. I'm sure after it loosens up it will be quicker. Corners, stops, accelerates on packed snow flawlessly. So far am lovin' it.

Today, I bought a BMW 2.5i. The best choice I ever made. What a great car to keep my kid, and my wife safe on the road. It grips the road like the tires are glued to the pavement. It's very good.

Some of the reviews I've read say the ride is too rough. Just not true in my opinion. The sports package might increase the stiffness of the ride a bit. It was a great mix of SUV feel with the fun of a sports car. It is truly SUV meets 300 series BMW. If you are interested in this car, don't listen to the few negative reviews that are out there in regards to the smoothness of the ride, but, rather, go test drive one of these beauties for yourself and you, too, will discover a sweet little ride.
