If they changed the pads on the 2014's, they still use the old ones for replacements on 2011's. I had rear brakes done a few weeks ago and the new ones are just as bad as the originals.

I've been very satisfied with the AC. Michigan summers can get quite hot, and the car has always cooled down quickly after sitting 8+ hours in the full sun. I have the Oyster seats which might help...

UncleJ, You try your hardest to steer people away from the second generation X3. Have you actually taken one on an extended drive?

There are multiple ways to change radio stations on the X3, but my favorite when I know the exact station that I want is to use the voice command. Simple as saying 'FM 91.3'.

Have you tried deflating the side bolsters on the sport seats? Don't know if that will make a difference or not to your wife.

Just had it replaced. They tried disenfecting it but the smell was still there. Just wondered if this was more common than they thought.

I own a 35i, but have driven a 2013 28i. The 35i is so much more fun to drive.

I'm very satisfied with the air conditioner in my car. I never run at max for more than a few minutes and then set it to the lowest speed. My car cooled quickly today even though it was 100 degrees.

Of course, I'm not comparing it with a car or the smaller X3, but as a larger SUV, I was very satisfied with the handling. I can't say the same for the 2011 Explorer that I test drove.

I found out when my American made 2003 Ford Explorer alternator died, the transmission was locked along with the power windows and doors, so probably true for the X3 as well.

I was referring to the badges on the steering wheel and door sills. No biggie, just not my cup of tea. It wouldn't have stopped me from ordering the M Sport package.
