Was I ever wrong about the X3

I agree. I really like the X3 exterior a lot, but the interior is sketchy if best. After we had that horrible accident in our X5, I was really scared to drive my 330cic. I went to our dealer and test drove an X3,,,,I knew we were gonna replace the X5, and I though I would trade my cic for a loaded X3.
The X3 interior is the closest thing German cars have to a Ford Focus, Pontiac Sunfire or Kia Sephia. BMW could have made the X3 awesome, if they would have just sourced parts from the 3 series mixed with the X5. Of all our Bimmers, I really think the X5 interior is so solid, and perfectly designed. Everytime we have someone ride in our X5, they are so impressed with the interior details and quality....just had a new CL55 AMG owner take a ride in our X5....and he was amazed how the interior of a $70,000 car felt better than his $120,000 car.
Look at the X5 new or CPO. You'll like the X3, you'll Love the X5!!!

The X3 may not match the X5 interior, but it is far from being shoddy or poorly executed, I find it has a rugged and lasting look of quality, I did not go out looking for a vehicle that would provide all the comforts of home, but one that I could feel was a driving machine, and at the same time gave me all the good things that I feel I need when I get in it and drive for a long time. I think BMW got it just right withone exception, which is the ride. It could be a lot softer and still be the fine vehicle that I think it is.
