I like the X3, too. I think it's cool looking and I've driven them.. They handle great and I've driven them in some fairly deep snow and they do well. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the interior... It's kinda low-grade for a BMW.. But then of course if you're the outdoorsy type you don't want a luxury interior.. (I'm willing to bet most X3 owners aren't doing anything remotely outdoorsy with their car, but that's another story)... But overall I think it's a cool car and you should be happy with it. GL!
