Goodbye to One X3

[White05X3]

Well, I have sold my 6-speed X3. I am planning to get a new 335i coupe for european delivery in July. We still have the automatic, which will be replaced with an 08 X3 3.0 in December.

In the interim I am driving a 2007 Honda Civic Si 4-door. Reading my posts on this board reveals that I am truly a BMW fan. Perhaps to a fault... I must confess (as much as it pains me) that the navigation in my Civic is head and shoulders above the system in the X3. The ease of entering addresses, the ability to enter waypoints, to switch voices, the clarity of the instructions (it specifies street names in the verbal instructions for example), the organization of destinations...just superior.

Now, the nav in the X3 has gotten me all over europe and all over California. It works fine, it is just that other systems work better.

The X3 is a wonderful car which my good friend will enjoy driving for another couple of years.
