There are many things I love about the X5 more than in the 330i. For example, the cargo space, the people space, the rumble of the V8, the softer ride, the AWD...
On the other hand, I miss making spirited turns, listening to the low rumble below 2000RPM in 2nd gear, the raw steering feel of the 330i.
That's why I'm following the release of the E90 really closely. If money permits, I shall keep the X5 until it dies, but hopefully a 330i E90 would be a fine addition to the stable as a weekend car to be driven only on dry roads.  |
I decided to get PDC on the X5 when I backed over a wheelbarrow one fine day... It makes parallel parking so much easier. I'm getting it installed on my 330 tomorrow. I miss the space of the X5 and the V8 the most, and I miss how relaxing it was to drive... but how it could really get you excited about driving at the same time.
