The current X3 is a little slow. I mean, the X5 3.0i does 60MPH in 8.8 seconds, whereas the X3 does it slightly faster at 8.3 seconds. But there is over a 500 pound difference. I thought the X3 could have been faster...

I've driven an X5 3.0i (my friend's got one) and it was underwhelming.. But I thought a smaller car with the same engine would feel faster, but it really didn't.
And the 2.5i was SOOOOOO SLOW!
