Good to hear you are enjoying it Malfunction.
I took the 30d m sport demo out for 24 hours from westside.
That was enough to sell it for me.
The accelerative power is more than you need in any 4WD, the performance control really pulls the car around the corners.
Even the ride is great - better than the X5 40d ride in my opinion.

When I handed it back, one of the sales team who shall remain nameless took it out for a lap of an industrial Estate.
I followed in the Z4 to see how fast he took it.
While I could keep up with it, on the up hill sweeping corner, i found the X3 was comfortably accelerating away while i was starting to slip the back end out and sliding around the corner. I just didn't have the grip and cornering ability of the X3.
Very impressive.

The hardest part is putting up with the Kluger until November.
