My previous car was this nice machine:
A V50 T5 Geartronic Summum which was a great car. But having driven an Audi for a test drive and some BMW's I've that there are cars with a much better chassis and handling. I still drive a Volvo for private use, a fully loaded 2.5T geartronic. My company cars are only used for business use (something to do with huge taxes on lease cars when used privately) Before that: Volvo V50 2.4i Geartronic Summum Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 wagon Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 sedan Some VW Passat's

Was driving a '06 Honda Accord EXL 4 cyl manual. Solid comfortable, reliable, boring. Before that a '00 VW Jetta GLX w/VR6 also manual. Fun car except for the continuous nagging problems. Wifey was driving a '03 Toyota RAV4. Now going to the kids.

This F25 is our first BMW. Came from an '05 XC70 but up until a couple of months before placing the order was pretty intent on an XC60 D5. In the end went for the X3 30d largely because of the availability of the 30d engine in the Austalian market.

Actually yes, but my good lady wife who was in the car at the time more so as thankfully she walked away from it with only very minor injuries.

New to the BMW family.
Coming from a 2006 Audi A4 Avant quattro. Very impressed with the X3. Love the comfort, the technology, and very fun to drive. Waiting for snow and ice to see if I will miss the quattro (quattro very impressive on ice and snow). |

The X3 replaced my E61 M Sport Business Edition - Le Mans Blue.
And when I sell the X3 in April 12 I'll probably be buying an E61 Touring.
