We didn’t even bother looking at the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . We are headed back to Chicago this weekend to pick up our “new” 2011 BMW X3 Xdrive35i.

Ironic, since a year ago my dad refused to even entertain the idea of a BMW because of the owner stereotypes. But man I love this car.

Too bad. I shall ruin the looks for you. The grille below the kidneys is the mouth of the car. Your X3 has Jay Leno chin.

I already noticed that. Still don’t care, it’s a nice car. I drove it last week.

Fair enough. Although I still see it as a downgrade from the Flex.

It’s smaller. That’s the only way it’s a downgrade. It’s newer, faster, better equipped, more efficient, and much much more fun to drive.

Yaaaay, no stupid connected kidney/headlights!

Looks pretty loaded too.

Which dealer are you getting it from?

Only option it didn’t have was the Msport pack, which we are fine with since that’s just big wheels, stiff suspension, and a thick wheel. Don’t need it to be more uncomfortable.

It was $52k new. For a fucking X3.

I see it this way : it's less cool, less practical, less comfortable, worse looking and has too many gizmos. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

Holy fucking hell. I question the sanity of anyone who spends that much on an X3.

It’s much more comfortable, actually. The Flex has good suspension, but so-so seats. This has fantastic seats. The Flex was cool when it came out, but now it doesn’t do anything for me. I like gizmos. Also, fortunately, we bought it for us, not you. You can buy the Flex still, if you want it.

Would you believe it was a lease?

If I had money, I would buy a flex. There is no better reasonably priced seven seater on the market. Unfortunately, I'm actually downgrading from a Cutlass to a Cavalier/Sunfire.

Suddenly a bit less surprised because BMWs insanely good lease deals. But still, fifty-two thousand dollars for a small-midish size crossover is borderline insane.

Good to know about the Flex seats. The only problem with our Passat Wagon is the seating capacity. My wife is leaning minivan, but I was going to have us go check out a Flex. It’s the seats that sold us on the Passat. The Germans know how to make comfortable seats...

Lies, that’s a mustache. The car is actually Charlie Chaplain. I would say Hitler, but the cheeks are wrong.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand its a well equipped BMW, but on the other hand its an X3; the least useful BMW aside from the 5 series GT or the X1

I’m confused... is this your car? Your dad’s car? Did he buy it for you? Is it yours to use?

His car primarily, but we use each other’s cars sometimes.
