I personally feel that the X3 is a bargain for what you are getting. I just priced a pretty stock xDrive28i with the following configurations:
X3 xDrive28i
Jet Black
Black Leatherette
Xenon Headlights (with LED Corona Rings)
$38,525
I know its pretty stripped down. You dont have the X-Line trim which looks pretty nice (wish there was Shadowline), the roof rails, and navi, BUT you get the following:
-iDrive standard (same size as X5/X6 screen)
-8-speed automatic standard
-LED license plate lights
-xDrive
-8-way front power seats
-ambiant light package standard
-rain-sensing wipers
-HD Radio
I'd say compared with 2010 and older X3's they were getting ripped off pretty bad given the much improved quality of the 2nd gen model.
I was looking at getting a 128i for about 35k, but why now when I can get a well stocked, much larger X3 xDrive28i with Xenons for 38k
Just imagine the competitive pricing of the X1 when it comes out!
BMW has another hit on their hands!
