Would you switch to an F25 x3?

[vstolpner]

Yeah that's what I have as well. But then I'm a techie and can tell the difference even when it's in the port and worried that others will as well and want it for themselves.

Like I said, it's a preference to have it hidden, that's all

Kinda apples and oranges. This is a real suv not a e9X

I will say a few things:

cons:
Seats are awful. flat with no support. My karman ghia has better seats.
Key fob is HUGE. I don't like my pockets cramped
USB only in the arm rest..not in the front console

pros:
big and comfy ride
NBT evo is nice (might have to do the retro fit)
headlights are awesome (probably because im a foot higher)
parking assist is much better than mine (360 camera i think)

Yea, not sure what's up with the newest BMW seats. the base seats in the F48 X1 were really bad, and my wife couldn't get comfy in the F25 X3 seats either (I was ok)

Come on!! THere's no comparing them, the X3 is far, far bigger. It's not even close! We had an X1 and with a rear facing seat plus a 5 year old in a booster it was too small, the X3 is perfect for the family, though the boot could be a bit bigger.

This topic is about done, but i spent the day driving dad's x3 again and noticed one more thing I don't like. The brakes feel squishy. Dunno if it's the added weight or if the brakes are actually inferior. And I like the electric power steering less every time. In the past year I've driven a 320i, f48, and dad's x3. In all cases, vastly preferred my e84. She's a keeper.

The X3 is some 350kg heavier.

I think I would switch, if the real world gas mileage is similar between xDrive models. I'm averaging about 26 combined on my Xdrive28i. I bet real world for the X3 is not far behind...

The 35i is fucking thirsty i'll tell you that much.

I could only see someone going from the e84 to one of the other x models if you wanted more of an SUV feel, shape, storage, etc. The e84 is already higher than I'd prefer....

20mpg combined here!

The F25 xdrive28i loaner had maybe 1-2 higher mpg, so it's kind of a wash I think

I seem to be averaging about 21 or less, so far (all short city trips).
