Specify exactly how BMW needs to be more competitive in the 3ers with their interiors and what additional features do you think it needs?....

Lexus IS - Features & Pricing - Interior check the gallery

Jeep - I'm stealing your image for the purposes of this post... http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/...-interior1.jpg ... just no comparison. I know some of the features can be found in idrive but for $40k, it is looking a lot like lower end makes. Have you seen the Z3/Z4s before they re-did them? Perhaps the X3 too? I'm glad they bumped those up now. It's time for the 3ers...

NO BMW dealer in MO, WY, ND?? There are about FIVE dealerships in a 12-15 mile radius where I live!!!
I saw a new, white Explorer at the Eurowerks BMW meet on May 7 (Florida). And guess which vehicle I thought was the sexiest!? LOL

I will probably get rid of my 2005 X5 in a few months, and replace it with a 3 series (likely a 335).

Nice cars guys. I don't feel so "guilty" that I'd go beyond BMW now. :-)

I'm replacing my X5 with a Q7. The E70 is just sooooo unreliable, it seems something breaks on it every month. I was all fired up to order a LCI, but after a spate of reliability issues in the last three months, I'm off over to Audi. Plus in the UK a higher spec Q7 is about 10k (GBP) cheaper than an X5 at the moment.

335d = nice. I like the combination of torque, mileage, handling and the way it looks inside and outside.
