All I Expected and More
 This is, without question, the best automobile I've ever owned.  It is powerful, responsive, agile for its size/weight and BMW's N52 straight-6 engine is buttery smooth and quiet. (Although one doesn't hear it inside the vehicle, from outside the vehicle the X3's exhaust note has a nice bit of a growl.)  I opted for the 6-speed manual transmission, and I must say it takes a bit of getting used to.  The clutch pedal has a lot of "travel" in it, but the engagement point is a fairly narrow area quite near to where the clutch pedal is in its undepressed state.  I'm impressed with the fit and finish of the vehicle and it just has a nice, solid feel to it.
