However before I had the X5 and the 330i, I had an Audi A6 2.8 - that was a large car - more legroom front and rear than a 5-series. Going from that into a 330i was tight for the first 6 months. Plus I declared the trunk in the 330i as useless due to the hanging HK subs.
But you get used to it after a while, and with the 330i, you can move into small holes in the traffic easily. LOL I still perform such manuevers with the X5 - scares the s*it out of people; sometimes me too. 
The 330xi is a VERY fine automobile, which would be my natural replacement for the X5 if I didn't need cargo space. |
I'm certainly not complaining about driving a 330xi, it's an excellent car. Its performance is on par with the 4.4i, but I miss having all that torque. I feel very enclosed in the 330 because I learned to drive on an X5, XC70, and Audi A8, which is like switching from driving a barge to a cigarette boat. Yes, the trunk is very useless. When I go skiing I can't fit a darned thing in there. Only enough space for two people's gear even with the ski bag. It's easier to dart through traffic, yes, but I still prefer riding above it all!
