I've owned Infinity for years and thought it was time for a change and so got the BMW X3 35i....it's terrible! The 'intelligence' that went into this design is incomprehensible. The instrumental panel is nearly totally dark, I have to leave headlights on in the day time and even then it's hard to see....there is no separation for the navigation display to reduce lights when night driving, if you reduce display for navigation so you can see, the instrument dulls as well, meaning you cannot see how fast you are going. There is virtually ZERO ability to see clock, temps or any other instruments...there is no display for tire pressure. There are so many stupid things that the Germans missed with this, that as soon as my plates come in I am getting rid of it and going back to Infinity. Even hubby who is German says even GERMANS don't buy BMW because there are NO OPTIONS on the cars unless you pay outrageous prices for them. Japan has it ALL OVER the imports from Europe in this regard...I rented a KIA that has more options and better visibility than this BMW...VERY unhappy. The gas tank holds about 14 gallons and so you have to fill up every three days, it's just a ridiculous car.

My favorite car!

This is my fourth BMW, and by far my favorite. It is responsive but gets much better gas mileage than any of my previous BMWs, due to the way the car automatically cuts off at stops when it idles. This was disconcerting at first but you can turn it off if you need the immediate acceleration.

Wonderful sporty SUV with good fuel economy compared to full size models like the X5. Great options packages that make driving a breeze.
