2004 BMW X3 SUV 3.0i AWD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Best 'Car-like' Luxury SUV
 I hate SUVs. Needed more space, and didn't want a wagon, so looked at the X3, and haven't looked back. Closest thing to a car ride. Have bad backs, and dual lumbar support in front seats are THE BEST compared to other cars. Suspension is a little tight, though not as bad on mine w/o the sport package. Base sound system so/so only. Panoramic sunroof amazing. Backseat comfort very good - spacious, especially with sunroof. Fuel economy is my biggest gripe:  average 16 MPG in mostly city driving (with a heavy foot). Overall value was great with end of year deals -  probably wouldn't have justified cost otherwise. Got Aux. audio jack:  Works great with iPod (don't think iPod jack is worth it)!
