White05X3 is on a distinguished road
It is indeed a 3.0 manual...I will say this though... just because it CAN do 132 does not necessarily mean it SHOULD do 132. Most BMWs feel pretty stable up to our US only speed limiters. The X3 on the other hand was fine until about 120 or so and then started feeling light and a bit wanderish. Now admittedly that speed was obtained during ED with 2 adults, 2 kids and 3 weeks worth of luggage so there was a distinct rear weight bias (it was a LOT of luggage ). I would just have preferred it if the car would have felt more planted. Obviously it was fine since we are all here...I think that knowing what I know now about the X3 (having spent a decent amount of time racing it) I would have had more confidence in the car.
