Welcome to the club! Before leasing our first X3 (an '07) we had two MDX's. We didn't need the big SUV anymore so we downsized. Even the much maligned E83 was so far superior to the Acura. The MDX loosened up after a couple of years and started feeling old. The X3 felt new until we turned it in. My wife wanted a Mini Cooper when the X3 lease was up in '09, but I miss it so much I had to order a new one. It's waiting at the performance center for pick up in 2 weeks.

By the way, I hate to be a PITA, but BMW doesn't make a V6 engine. They're all straight sixes, and I hope they never change! That's the reason they're so smooth.
