I bumped into an X3 test drive during a weekend trip to Asheville.

We chased a 645 for several miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway....first time for me in an X3 and I was very impressed with the road manners and performance of (the 3.0 liter) engine. Feels much lighter in hand than my X5, but I really would miss the 8-pot sound. Last shot is some color for the leaf people out there.
