Thank you for sharing, Kenneth - an interesting and enjoyable read with great images!
We are really enjoying our X3MCs as well, with about 15K combined miles on the odometers, and we share many of your thoughts. We would differ a bit on the panoramic moon roof option - ordered mine without it, but my wife's was on a lot so had to get it. We've never used it, and from our perspective we don't need that extra weight on top, but it is an option for those who wish to have that experience.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
