    They get pricey really fast when you start adding options.

    From an old topic that I posted in.....my review. I have to admit, I'd be tempted by a 3.0l 6-speed with no options. Still too much $$, though.

    >>
    I spent 2 hours putting 120 miles on an X3 3.0 in the rockies. My thoughts:

    1 - The interior sucks. Really sucks. Low quality and not attrative. Decent interior room, however.
    2 - Not enough power, at least in the rockies. Wouldn't go 75 without forcing the manu-matic down a gear and keeping it there. I don't care if it is 8000 feet, if I'm paying $42k.....
    3 - It was SIGNIFICANTLY more fun to drive than the 330xi, which I was underwhelmed by. Better steering feel, better balance, less understeer!
    4 - The ride was CRUSTY, and this was the non-sport-pack. I can't imagine what the sport pack would be like... this was just tolerable.

    Overall, if I had to choose between the 330xi and the X3 3.0i, I'd take the X3 based on the fun-to-drive factor, which was a shock for me (I'm not an SUV fan at ALL), but I was still less than impressed with it.

    you did a great review again, saved me the trouble!!
    The price deterred me anyhow, way overpriced - especially if the interior is chincy .
    thanks for your input!

    Interesting, the local dealer quoted me $12,995 American.

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Best,
