CJ, how did you feel when you went from your X5 to the 3?

I don't know if flimsy is the word I'd use to describe it, but I know what you're talking about. The E46 is very well built. I don't get the same secure feeling that I had in the X5, though. The X5 just felt so safe... The 330xi just doesnt feel as good. It's too small for my taste. When I went from the X5 to the 3, I didn't like it... The way I feel now is that I love my 3er, but it can't hold a candle to the X5. I feel about the X5 the same way you do, Juan. Every time I drove it, I'd get out and still be amazed that the car (SAV, whatever) could drive sooo well, make you feel so safe, etc. I don't feel that way about the 3. Don't get me wrong.. I love it, but it's just not the same.
