X3 loaner - I'm impressed
 

My X5 is at the dealer since yesterday while they replace the steering rack. They gave me a brand new X3 3.0 with 1500 miles on it as a loaner. It poured yesterday so I really didn't drive it. I hate driving something that's not mine, especially in bad weather. Anyway, I'm surprised. Very responsive, peppy and handles great. It's much more of a vehicle than I expected. I give it a :thumbup:

:iagree: I had a X3 loaner too and same experience, better than expected. :thumbup:

Loved the one we had!! :thumbup:

Same here! Was very surprised and impressed!

I'm very envious of those who get BMW loaners..........I wish we got one!

Yeah, I always enjoy driving the CEO's X3. It's a nice car. It handles really well, it's quick, and has tons of storage room. :thumbup:

Hey Laura, was it a 2007 with the stronger motor? I've driven a few 06's and I was pretty impressed too, but I just can't get that V8 power and substance out of my blood! Wouldn't it be cool if they put the new turbo six in there though - 300hp..., now that may potentially put my love for the BMW V8 motor in jeopardy!

Funny you should say that - I hate driving my own vehicle in bad weather - makes her dirty! I'd much prefer driving someone else's car in bad weather! :rofl: ;)

i dropped my X5 off today and was thinking of starting
this same exact thread. 2 creature comforts that i
noticed and love right of the bat are the heated
steering wheel and the pano-roof.

What do they give you? I always get BMW loaners, usually 3 series.
