Not quite as full figured/muscled as you are, but at 6'1" and 215, seat and legroom is a consideration.

I like our X, it's jes'getting to be decision time for a few things: mainly the warr. and 1 yr Ext Maint is going by-bye in Sept. I would not keep it w/out some kind of ext.warr, eg WarrDirect, et al. Have little interest in a new X5, (v.pricey), interested in X3, but the new 330 sport/6Spd is getting my fever up, :p . And, we will be "doing winters" in our new little seasonal starter shack in FlawRaDuh; thus the absolute need for AWD/XDrive is diminishing...

OTOH, the dough diff via trade is considerable and not sure I have Spydrz's balls for a brand new model, vis a vis the potential glitch factor.

Just mouthing off, "outloud", on the board...it's cheaper than actually kicking tars and getting sucked in!

Jeff: You gotta a good plan there, though, imo.
