Fantastic deal. Didn't even bother test driving. Trusted my gut and it was right. This SUV defies physics. Reminds me of my F85.

Some crappy iPhone photos from today's pick up at the dealership. Fantastic CA. Fantastic dealership. Fantastic experience. Highly recommended. BMW West Houston.

Thank you

I do like the interior had that on my M6. It may be a bit much but the car is already more than any X3 needs so congrats!

What do you mean you never drove one, and I thought you weren’t impressed?

I trust that the driving dynamics of M cars will exceed my needs so I didn't want to waste time confirming! Long time M cars owner. And the fact that there is NO competition with this value so even if I was disappointed I had no choice

I wasn't impressed with the pedal lag.


I meant I didn't test drive this vehicle. That was a comp model (I think, it was a year ago or so) for only a few minutes.

Only thing I didn't like was the lag but I took the forum's advice driving this one home and you guys were right

Sport plus everything fixes any driving issues

Love the red on red. The seat texture and small 2-tone accents really help out the theme!

What are your plans for it?
