Favorite thing about your X4

Hey all,

Still expecting my X4 to arrive and just wanted to hear from owners about what their favorite part about owning an X4 has been so far.

exilio: I bought my X4 35i because:
-I like the styling - at least efter lowering
-easy in-out.
-BIC (Best in Class) 6 cyl engine. 7000rpm - not 4500 as with a diesel
-BIC 8-speed gearbox
-BIC AWD

I have all performance gadgets.

I was a bit disappointed of: sidewind sensitivity, steering precision and steer-in-a-curve,but that was rectified with lowering. Although I got a bit harsh ride comfort.

One thing remaining: the Klappenexhaust.

Tjalle, I believe by now the whole world knows you lowered your car.....You mention it (including the picture) in almost every single reply you post...... Just so you know: We all know ok!

Jypsie, sorry if you are disturbed, but since exilio is the new kid on the block, I wanted to give him the full picture of what I like about the X4, and that includes both lowering and the Klappenexhaust.

I was critizised for not supplying picture when I described my lowering some months ago.

Tjalle, I am now sorry that I was insistent on providing a picture of your car some months back

Exilio, you'll soon understand.....

On topic.....
For me are the 2 most interesting features:
- The HUD: Can not miss it anymore
- The HK sound: Great sound!
- The dynamic suspension and steering: gives you the right correction when needed

but it is actually the whole car......no side wind issues at all, even at 220km/h

This is going to sound silly but I just love that they put the trunk hatch open button on the door. I travel with my dog in the crate back there all the time. It's fantastic and efficient there, tap it while I'm getting out and it's open by the time I get back there.

Another feature I love is the "lock doors and activate alarm" automatically waits for everyone to close the doors. My infiniti just used to beep angrily at me until my lolligagging friends closed their damn doors.

Besides all the good responses, I love my X4 because it handles great in winter driving conditions here in Alberta.

My favorite thing is the smooth, silent and powerful engine (30d) together with the auto transmission.
I also love all the gadgets. HUD is an amazing thing. Never thought I would appreciate as much as I do.

I'm still adjusting to driving mine (coming from a Mini) but definitely the ease of driving and looks (have been complimented several times already) ....
