Made Me A Believer
 So, always wanted a BMW...finally bought one off a 3-year lease that was certified.My salesperson said that once I owned a BMW that'd it'd be the only car I'd ever own again..he was SO correct!!The handling is great for an SUV; just like a sports sedan.And, yes, the ride is bumpy. I've read that it's been improved after 2006.But I don't mind..because it handles so great in snow & rain.I've had gas mileage 35 mpg on highway.Of course, with A/C on and driving in city, any car can be as bad as 10 mpg, no exception to date.Even with gas prices predicted at $5.00/gallon, I'd rather be in something safe than a roller skate getting 40 mpg.Think about it!!Planning on keeping this.
