Mein Auto: 2013 X3 M-Sport

Chris the XC60T6 was runner-up on my X3 purchase.
I drove both cars several times and always gravitated to the BMW's better (in my opinion) driving dynamics. I also liked the idea of a 8spd automatic in the BMW as opposed to the Volvo's 6spd.
The seats in the Volvo fit me like a glove but the waterfall dash made the interior feel claustrophobic. The BMW felt more spacious especially the rear seats.
The R-design came with the Polestar tuned 325hp engine but to be honest in did not pull as strong as the bimmer's 300hp.
I still prefer the exterior styling of the XC60 but I bought my car because I like to be behind the driver's wheel where I can't see the somewhat ugly lines of my X3.
