I do too.

Very nice. While the X5 is way too expensive for my tastes, I do respect the way that thing hustles down the road. Hopefully, the X3 will have similar traits (just leave the big pricetag at the factory please!).

I don't like the eyelids, and BMW doesn't need another SUV (BTW, Porsche doesn't need an SUV period, but that didn't stop them, but the turbo cayenne will beat most coupes and roadster straightline!!) (5.6s 0-60 for an SUV!!, why!)

This does look nice. However, no doubt like other BMW products, it will cost more than it should. Perhaps they need more cash flow to support BMWFilms?

What a waste of money! Oh, well, give the Germans your dough, because you are incapable of thinking for yourself. A compact SUV pretty much defeats the purpose of the SUV. Let's see, acclerates OK, but handles like a pig and stops like a pig. Sounds like a recipe for disaster in the hands of a typical BMW bozo.

It does look pretty good, but what is the point, other than to keep up with your neighbors?
