This is a weekend/ long haul vehicle for us, so I need to balance out need for practicality with my desire not to feel like I'm piloting a wayward yacht when I hit a corner or uneven pavement.

On the X3, my wife and I loved how our '11 35i M-Sport drove, but I can't stand the new M-Sport... so I'm in a pickle. I want sport seats and the sport auto, but don't want to order M Sport.

I'm not entirely sure what happened with the configurator, but I've told my dealer that I'll send him a deposit of he can order that spec. Early read is- "can't do it", but they're following up with BMW NA.

I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks for the feedback w/the F15 and I'm surprised you aren't happy with it. I've been debating selling my E70 diesel and either getting an F15 or the LCI F25. I'm like you, and want something that handles well and is spirited. I'm worried the X5 will continue to feel too big for us.

I hear you about the MSport LCI F25, but I think it is growing on me and I would never order one without the MSport given the options it comes with. I may strike a deal soon, if my dealer gives me a few more bucks on the E70
