As I understand it, the suspension and shock absorbers is one thing that has been rectified on the newer X3s - even Top Gear complained about that. Correcting that, combined with a longer wheel base has made the new X3 a quite different drive from the old one.

Personally, I prefer hard and quick suspensions, oversized shocks, and soft wheels. I hate careening feather rides like in a Citroen - I get sea sick.
But I know I'm in a minority.
