I looked hard at the wagon, but it still has low clearance and low profile tires. I don't see how sports cars survive the bad roads in cities - my previous car was a subaru and it still got knocked...

Took my X3 in for the update and just found out that they kept it all day for a reset of the transmission adaptation. Apparently they are required to take baby steps towards the software upload.:cry:
