The Good:
I really like the X3 drove about 110 miles on the way back home from the dealership. A very nice ride and great pickup on 0 to 30MPH the first 3 gears are very responsive. My wife wanted something that was higher in height so this worked in our favor. The X3 has multiple packages too so that is a plus, love the seats with real leather so much comfortable for long drives and has only 62K miles so looking to hold on for several years.

No run flats have brand new Michelin Primacy Mxm4.

The Bad:
Has valve cover gasket leak dealer wanted to charge me $2500 additional to get it fixed including the oil housing gaskets if I wanted too if I didn't purchase they were going to wholesale it to a private/indy dealership. I took the risk and said no thanks on the additional repair after researching that this is a common issue and something I will be able to do since I've done many valve cover work on MB. I went and made a calculated risk.
Add a JB1 Tuner piggyback and those first 3 gears will be even more fun.
