How new is the car? My wife thought her X3 braked terribly when we first bought it - and for reference she came from an Infiniti EX35, which is a sporty crossover competitor. After about 700 miles or so, we both notice the initial bite to be much improved and the brakes to stop much shorter. I agree with many of the other posters above however, in that they are not nearly as responsive as my prior E90, but I'd say they're about as good as the EX35, which is really about what you would expect for a 4000+ lb SAV...
