Hey there Drum,
Maybe we're just too busy enjoying our X3's? I like mine a lot. I'm also very pleased to report 18 mpg/city this last tank! With gas prices hitting $4.00/Gal around here that makes me feel a lot better about my choice.
I haven't had any real problems, not even a dead battery, although I do have a small list of issues to get taken care of under warranty. Namely a small split in the material in a corner around the mirror in the drivers side visor. Also the courtesy light on the drivers side comes on when I move the visor over to the side window... very strange. At least they are both related to the visor and can be fixed when they replace it.
Oh yeah, I'm about to need a new set of tires...
