I am thinking of buying an X3 to replace my wife's 1999 Passat. She doesn't want an SUV/SAV but I just bought an 2007 328i to replace my 2000 328i and if we buy an X3 she will drive the 328i. It is ok because I also have a 2006 M roadster, so I have a fun car.

So, the struggle I am having is that having just bought the 328i and then looking at the X3 it seems like a step backward to all of the old technology. The 2007 328i is loaded with dual zone air conditioning with vents to the back seats, new stalk controls for wipers, turn signals, etc. The new ignition system with the start/stop button, etc. The X3 gets redesigned for 2010 but that is two model years away. Just wondering if anyone knows when the 2008 model year should be hitting dealers and if there is a chance that it will have updated to the 328i technology?
