Our X5 has a new garagemate. I picked up our new 2003 325xi yesterday, replacing our beloved and trading the '97 Nissan Pathfinder. It was a floor model so we got a great deal on it. The 2004 lineups are arriving in by next month. Besides, we don't have to wait for delivery. I drove it right out from the lot. I'm impressed after driving 200 mi. this weekend. Excellent gas milage. The auto tranny is much better than I had expected, especially in the sport mode, and the manual shift mode is fun when I remember it is there. Fit and finish is excellent and the little six banger is smooth and willing, although the "grunt" from the V-8 in the X5 cannot be replaced. Got leather, AWD sports Package, Premium Package. Not too crazy about the black ext. and tan leather int. (The missus has the say on this, she'll be the main driver). She's selling her 2002 Accord the her sister. Looking forward to get over the break-in period.
Sorry for the long post. I am too excited with my our new baby.
