Vratenza Supersonic June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 (edited) Nah, it's just my personal opinion, maybe I tend to drive faster than most average SUV drivers. So the requirement in engine/transmission is different. As I said, there is no question about the handling of the X3, it is up there in that arena. If all out handling is what the SUV shopper is looking for, maybe should consider a sedan or station wagon with sporty handling which will win any SUV any day any time. Just like the 3 series, I find that 325i is the minimum to really enjoy the handling afforded by the chassis/setup. But we see more 316/318/320is on the road. End of the day most important is the person buying it must appreciate, likes it and willing to put his money where it matters. Then u must seriously try the new one, on paper its heavy and probably has a low hp/weight ratio.. but the damn car felt almost like a sports sedan. I also didnt expect much from it but it was above my expectations.. if only the price can come down alittle more haha.U can throw the car out of a corner at 60-70km/h and it still handles so well.Tested quite a few compact suvs already.

Tested quite a few compact suvs already. Remembered u drove your dad's X5 for a while....u sure u will be happy with a 2.0? Only 135kw with 290Nm, will be a drag if fully loaded with passengers & luggages (on road trip). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystream 1st Gear June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 (edited) 6 month wait??? You do custom indent features right Not really...when I order in Jan, the sale told me that i missed the Dec production run so have to wait for the April production schedule. They do have the typical white, black and etc....but me and wife like the phytonic blue with cognac leather combo...so decided to wait since I have a car to drive and in no specific hurry...So while waiting, I added in DDC and rear manual sun shade. Wow! U really can wait that long. Sdrive20 - $212,800. 5k overtrade for trade in. 5yrs warranty + 5yrs free servicing. 2.28% int rate instead of 2.68% oic. Thanks for the info.

Rayoflight 5th Gear June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 30i M sport is only cosmetic enhancement...with M sport brake, m sport suspension, HUD, M Sport steering wheel and a few other things more. Engine is the same with regular xline 30iThese enhancements not cheap to ownself do outside.. best to come as factory fitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your standard MSport order while waiting, can still add in custom factory features like a special indent order? Can share how much was the DDC (adaptive suspension) add-on? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GLC200 does even comes with a factory fitted GPS system. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
