535xi wagon? are you shitting me?
335xi? with 2 dogs, ski equipment, 2 people etc? too small.
MDX - FWD bias... won't EVER drive a FWD car. Don't like the sensation of being pulled.

Thanks for the suggestions, but it obvious you're a "BMW only guy" which is cool, but I'm not disqualifying a car just because it doesn't have a roundel on it.
btw- i should restate what i said above a bit... i don't NOT need excitement in my DD, what I should have said is that because I have another car that is sports car i dont' need my dd/truck/suv to be the epitome of a sports car or handle like one etc. The FX has an excellent engine, suspension, handling, interior etc etc. The vette is my #1 ride, my DD isn't.

I too have a Vette as my #1 ride but we only can drive the Vette seven months of the year - the rest is SUV weather up here in Canada. I have an 07 X3 and really the tranny problem is overstated - The X3 goes like a bat, is fun to drive, and reasonable on gas given what we pay

My two cents
