Its finally arrived!

Took delivery of my new X3 20d SE yesterday. Hadn't driven one since test drive in December. Worried that after my 330D it would seem underpowered but after a 160 mile drive back from the dealer I was very happy with performance given its newness. The 8 speed auto is very smooth and it handles well but auto stop with an auto takes a bit of getting used to. The quality of the plastics is definitely inferior to the 3 series and it doesn't quite have the BMW driver appeal but the driving position is good and the sports seats are comfortable. Wish I had opted for the sound system upgrade as the standard one is OK but a bit disappointing. Ipod works well through media package and impressed with sat nav. The new iDrive seems a big improvement on one i used on a 2006 535D touring.

Ave 36 MPG consumption on a motorway run with quite heavy traffic on M25/A1 return journey with just 156 miles on the clock.
