First post, first BMW

Finally took delivery today. Another ex-Audi customer here.

Kind of upset that Audi doesn't have anything in this segment to offer right now. Coming from S4 I found SQ5 to be boring and I think I've made a right choice with X3M.

Still adjusting to everything from driving dynamics to new interface. Maybe will post my observations once I put more miles on it.

So far I see a lot of positives, especially in a drive-train and power departments. It's going to be very hard to keep it down before break-in period expires

I haven't test driven the car before taking it so a lot of info came from this forum. So far I'm really excited with X3MC!

Yes, it’s extremely disappointing that Audi never made an RS Q5, probably to avoid competition with the higher end Macans. But hey, who cares if there is such a nice alternative from BMW!

Congrats! It is very hard to keep it within break-in parameters

Welcome and congratulations!

One could not make a better entrance as a first time BMW owner with X3MC. Love the interior!
