From Jersey to CA, will you drive?

Go for it!! I've made the trip from NYS to Colorado, arizona & Wyoming lots of times, and it's a great drive. Once you are west of the Mississippi r., the gas is 10% ethanol, so be sure to use the highest octane they have. Also, be aware that altitude decreases your power - about 3% for each 1000 ft. Thus, when you go thru the mountains, you'll be pushing a bit harder on the pedal. If you stay on I70 all the way, you'll go thru Denver and the Rockies west, and that is an absolutely GREAT drive for any BMW, let alone an X. Speed limits in the west are higher than in the east, and you'll be tempted to 'try 'er out' a bit.

I'd advise taking along some extra water and 1-2 qt. of oil. BMW stores in some of the western states are few . . .

Good luck and have fun.
