Probably worth checking out, but my experience for consideration. I'd had BMWs previously, but moved overseas and back and had a crappy rental for a couple months waiting for the X3. When I picked up the X3 I was amazed how quiet it was, but my comparison was the rental. Sometimes I'd think the engine was off, when it was still on. After driving it a couple months, though, I started to notice the sound of the engine, particularly at idle. Sounded like a diesel locomotive or something. Not really sure if it got louder, but I'm pretty much convinced I just got used to the quiet and eventually picked up on the new sound. On service, the dealer insisted it sounded perfectly normal. Have had no problems. Mine is a gas engine, though.
