tranny problem fixed?
I'm thinking about an 08 X3 but was wondering if anyone with a current build is experiencing the tranny issue?

TIA

Since the mid-winter builds, the AT transmission software seems to have improved. I would order a 2009 to be absolutely sure, or get a manual transmission. I know that for 2009, Saddle Brown is available as an interior leather option.

Oh, sorry. I saw the thud and got ahead of myself.

The FX is one of the ugliest SUV's on the market right now. It looks like a bloated Hyundai Tiburon. Everyone calls the Cayenne a pepper, but the FX looks much more "pepper-ish" from the profile if you ask me.

I think an Infinity might make a great dd for him considering he's got a Vette to play with. Reliable, pretty competent power and handling, but slightly boring compared to Bimmer (and you get to keep your headlights ).

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
