One thing neither of us realized was how much more like a car the X1 drives, then the X3. I realize it's based on the 3 series wagon, so I guess they leaned the driving characteristics more to car-like driving than an SUV. So not sure what we're gonna do, they're only asking $16K for the vehicle, which seems like a bargain for the year and mileage. And we did like it, just not as much as we thought. So basically we're trying to decide what to do.
How happy is everyone with run flat tires, btw? I noticed it had them, and I have no experience with them.

Day one I removed the runflats, now it is a pleasure to drive. Of course X5 is bigger but it all about what your needs are and what MPG you want. I Do not believe I would purchase a BMW if not certified.
