Very fun to drive. More sports car like than many performance sedans I have driven. Very fast 0-60 will beat most vehicles on the road. It handles very well, and the ride quality can be adjusted. Very high-build quality with no rattle or gaps. Well designed interior with lots of storage.

I was looking for a small SUV because I was having problems getting into and out of my Acura Integra (bad knee). I also was looking for something a little luxurious. My X3 fills the bill. It is just the right size for me. I picked it up at the factory and also took their driving school. I like the fact that BMW produced a car that is evenly weighted front and back and side to side. The car glides down the road. It has a roomy backseat and plenty of cargo space. The interior is very quiet.
