Some Interesting Comparisons Between 2 X3's
 

Through dealer error and excellent customer service I ended-up with 2 virtually identical X3's. Both are 05's (one a March 05 production the other April 05 production) with sport, premium, nav, xenons, cold weather, premium sound, servotronic and privacy glass. Both are white with black interior. One is a stick the other is automatic.

I am fascinated by some of the differences between the 2 cars:

1. The April car (the automatic) has voice control for the phone
2. The steering on the April car is just a bit firmer than the March (stick) car
3. The head liner on the automatic is a lighter shade of gray than the stick

Just the meaningless observations of a guy with too damned much time on his hands (auto-x season is over so no racing to discuss). Happy Holidays everybody!

hey man you need another hobby :rofl:

Isn't that the truth!!!

You own both of these?

Odd as it seems, even to me, yes I do...

White: Pretty interesting obs., I think.

And, shows the variation via assembly...

Not analagous, but I've driven other guys'
Vettes, (same year for some, newer for others),
and they felt very similar.

I've driven other CR-Vs, (no cracks), and all the
others were much better than our POS CR-V in'
terms of handling, ride, noise, etc. We gotta
dog in our CR-V, but our Vette is Titz and our
X has run well for 5+ years, too.

Interesting, to me...

The Vette being from almost dead GM is lucky to have the same anything from car to car. No two alike, build what no one will buy. I think it's written in the GM designers hand book.

Well, thanks Rick...:confused:

Yes, GM is bleeding, though my GXM bonds are doing fine.

I suspect the Ol'General will be around for awhile longer.
No homer or big cheerleader for them but, if you haven't
driven a Vette lately, you will not believe what $50K gets
in terms of performance and engineering capability.

The only less expensive entree' to that kind of oommph
is a UJM liter or, liter+ sled.

And, having driving a few dozen late model Vettes, I remain
impressed with build quality, and "likeness" on those I've
driven and own. Commercial rant over.

MD - did you bring the yellow Cobalt to WFIV?

Yes...it was an Chevy "Aveo". Rental from Budget Rent A Car.
Emphasis on budget, lol!

It got us around and back to the airport...was a hit
at the show. :rofl:
