Nice write-up op - thanks!

I've also had my X3 (28i) for a while now (since August actually) and am approaching 9k miles..

The N20 is very smooth motor especially when paired with 8 speed tranny which I think is fantastic..

IF you're in an area with snow - do yourselves a favor and get a dedicated winter set of tires (and enjoy sport set-up in summer).

Have I been happy with my choice? Absolutely - it fit our budget and broader needs at the time of the buy. I would characterize the X3 as an extremely capable and a comfortable everyday driver. A rationale vs emotional choice for me.

At lease end? I'll probably opt for something with a little more flair, testosterone and snort.

X4 diesel or in 35i trim maybe?
