OK, so I drove the X3, and I want one!
I asked a sales rep to show me the car and he started the usual chit chat about all the features and luxuries in the car. I let him talk and talk, then when we got into the car I politely asked if he could refrain from talking with me unless I asked him a question. I explained that I wanted to focus on the car and nothing else. It worked!
I was able to really get a feel for the car and it felt very close to my E53 except more nimble and the new transmission is much faster. The sales rep seemed to not be offended and in the end this was the best test drive that I've had in a BMW.
Now how do I convince them next time to let me test drive alone like the Mini folks did?

Once he/she realizes you have done your homework and ready
