Thumbs up X3 loaner - I'm impressed

My X5 is at the dealer since yesterday while they replace the steering rack. They gave me a brand new X3 3.0 with 1500 miles on it as a loaner. It poured yesterday so I really didn't drive it.

Yeah, I always enjoy driving the CEO's X3. It's a nice car. It handles really well, it's quick, and has tons of storage room.

Hey Laura, was it a 2007 with the stronger motor? I've driven a few 06's and I was pretty impressed too, but I just can't get that V8 power and substance out of my blood! Wouldn't it be cool if they put the new turbo six in there though - 300hp..., now that may potentially put my love for the BMW V8 motor in jeopardy!

Funny you should say that - I hate driving my own vehicle in bad weather - makes her dirty! I'd much prefer driving someone else's car in bad weather!

i dropped my X5 off today and was thinking of starting
this same exact thread. 2 creature comforts that i
noticed and love right of the bat are the heated
steering wheel and the pano-roof.
