The X3 IMHO, is just an Okay car. There are many reasons I could never own one. It may drive like a BMW, but it just dosn't FEEL like one. The interior feels low-rate; and as this may have been adressed for the facelift, looking at early '04 models it seems that the X3's interior was not on par from the begining. And most X3 owners will use the excuse that the interior is bad because it is Sporty; but really there is no excuse. The doors are light minus the thud when you close the door. The E46 that it was based on felt way more on par with a BMW feel than the X3. And I see way more soccer moms driving X3's than 4.4i and 4.8is X5's.....


Long Live the Original....
