Replying to: markcincinnati (Apr 11, 2008 5:35 am) That would be, from above and behind. If one has the appropriate tatoo, they can enjoy the view while they're at it. Glad to hear your family is enjoying the new X3, but having just bought (yeah, I never learn) a new vehicle, having driven the old one most of eight years, I'm still interested in that piece of the puzzle. Most aren't, I realize. |

We've had our '07 X3 3.0siA since the end of July '07 and my wife really likes it! She's been piling on the miles working and shuttling out 18 month old son around, so we've been using my '01 Prelude Type SH as our weekend/family vehicle (as long as we don't have too much stuff). I actually got to drive the X3 around town today and forgot how much I really enjoy driving it.

Replying to: nyccarguy (Apr 13, 2008 6:30 pm) My wife still likes her '04, but I think she'd really prefer a 128i or a Mini Cooper S Clubman. Maybe when our son starts driving the X3... |

This time around I wanted to keep our car payments low (even though I know leasing is more expensive long term). At $471.67 per month (0 cap cost reduction, 36 months, 15K per year) our very lightly optioned (but not lightly equipped) '07 X3 is a great deal for a truck that stickered for a little less than $41K. I'm a big believer in the fact that cars are very well made and if properly (read: anally) maintained should last between 8 & 10 years. When our lease is up, we'll be looking to buy our next vehicle. Maybe a Passat Wagon or A4 2.0T Avant. I'd consider another X3 too. |

"love the Touch Signalling -- dealer sales didn't even know about it, in fact claimed it did not work on the X3 since it doesn't have iDrive." What do you mean by touch signalling? Can you please explain? I have an 08 X3 also, but would like to have the same feature as you. I've seen the angel eyes as the daytime running light on the 328 and 335 coupes, also the new X5s. I am wondering why the X3 has the dim yellow light instead. It will be cool to have the daytime running angel eyes.

Replying to: bmw4life (Apr 16, 2008 4:01 pm) The angel eyes, too, are on our car and they and the DRL's are now on the moment the key is turned to the ON position. We had the auto door lock feature turned on, too. There are a bunch of dealer only turn on features (controlled by idrive in other BMW's,) they are detailed in the manual. The voice command is listed as "separate manual" -- there is NO separate manual -- it is just there and you can say "help" and it will list the commands it understands. Pretty cool, even works with the blackberry my wife is never without. "Dial number: etc etc etc"
