True. I've had a 545i as well as three 3 Series vehicles. I test drove a 135i DCT M Sport recently and the reason I didn't get it: the radio sucked!!

The only medium-sized SUV I would get is the MDX because it's more reliable than the X5. But, the X3 is closer to the size I need. Can't knock the revised interior-just great!

My wife has knee problems and has trouble getting out of the 328i. So, I will trade it in for an SUV over the summer-leading contenders are the MDX and X3.

Yes indeed: a sizeable piece of change for the X3 28i when loaded as I want it-as much as an MDX with tech package.
