Honestly thought it would be a downgrade and would be up for disappointment on the sever side ( car was for the mrs.) After a few days of driving I like it way better than the X3. Yes, I was apprehensive at first and that is putting it mildly. But all things considered it has great pick up, turn radius, driver comfort ( I'm 6'0), sound, the view through the windshield (in comparison to my old 335i and X3 ) is considerably better... Let's just say it is 180 degrees opposite of what I was expecting. Now next would be an M upgrade certainly.
