You got a brand new car because the tach didn't work? That's impressive.

My 2 cents would be that this X3 is the best vehicle I have ever owned (my 4th BMW). I can't believe I get 23mpg with 300HP in an SUV and I have a lead foot. I would also add that while I hated the...

I hated the run flats on my 335 and did switch them out. But honestly, I have no problem with them on the X3. They seem to be quiet and with a less sporty suspension than the 335 they don't punish...

+1. I was going to pay cash for my X3, but I got 2.39% for 60 months from Bellco Credit Union. There is no point in paying it off at those super low rates. I'd rather invest it elsewhere.

As a fellow Coloradan, I got rid of my 335 in January for similar reasons. I just couldn't stand the beatings and constant low-profile tire problems that resulted. I am more of a car person too but...

I just traded my 335 for an X3 a few months ago and I noticed as well. I thought it was just on the new x3 but apparently it is across the models. I don't like it either. When i get into the hot...

If you have the ipod option (USB connector in center console) you can simply use the cable that came with the nano...does everything.

Just don't put it on. It is not a moving violation and like a $15 fine. I have been pulled over before in my 335 without it and the cop doesn't even bother checking.

I would want one heck of alot more off the price than $1985 for 2K miles on a 2011. I just picked up a brand new 2012 x3 35i for $2625 less than MSRP and the dealer had to do a trade and ship it...

Same for me. I drove off the lot and the TPMS went off. It turned out 3 of them were at 42 PSI and one was at 28 PSI.

Based solely on the quoted statement above, it would be impossible for me to recommend that you buy any BMW...simply based on the cost of repairs vs. other cars.

I am trading mine in the next week as soon as my new car arrives. The deal is already made so I can't sell it to you, but mine is loaded with 55K miles. It will be at Gebhardt BMW in Boulder.

Thanks for your responses. I'll check out truecar. It would definitely be an advantage to live where there are a ton of competing dealers close.

I have to ask. If you can afford a $60,000 car, why can't you afford to move out of crime infested neighborhood? I'd much rather drive a ford focus and not have to wear a bullet proof vest.

I bought a new 328i but it stinks in the snow...what can I do to add AWD? Hmmm...it is a shame there isn't a version of the car that you can buy to address this problem.

See what I did there?

But yet they have $1000s of dollars available for mods plus the $1000s of lost value when you try to re-sell a modded car?
