New to BMW, Please help me decide!
HI all! I'm new to the BMW family. I am currently in an 05 FX35 and was looking at the X5d, X3 and ML350 Bluetech.
I built out the 2012 X5d as Platinum Gray/ Oyster/ Bamboo Trim Premium Pkg Sport Activity Pkg with 20" wheels Running Boards BMW Apps Smart phone integration MSRP $64,775 Invoice $56,900 I haven't gotten a quote on the X3 but it was Carbon Black / Oyster / Fineline Wave Wood Premium Sound Cold Weather Pkg Technology Pkg M Sport Pkg Premium Pkg Split fold down rear seats BMW Apps Smart Phone integration Extended Warranty MSRP $57,234 I love the sporty feel of my FX, so that's why I love BMW, but my FX also feels more "plush" comparatively. Which is how the ML350 I test drove felt. However, I don't know if I like the play in the steering w/ the ML, however it did have less of the turbo drag and drove more like a gasoline engine than the BMWs. That being said, I've had many friends w/ MB and they complain constantly that they are always in the shop and I am so afraid that will be me. I need something reliable and my friends w/ BMWs rant and rave about them. Anyway, knowing that this is a BMW forum, I realize I will get more opinions toward it, so if you feel that it's easier to help me choose between the X5d and the X3, I would greatly appreciate it. I love the look of the M Sport Pkg, but I like the gas mileage of the diesel and I am getting rid of the FX35 to get something a little bigger, which the X5d fit better than the X3. I just didn't know which buy would be better in the long run. Please help! TIA! |

X5
I'd go with the X5...how close to invoice will you get with your local dealer?

Only one way you buy a car - go and drive it and compare your feeling and personal choice to the different models as to what you want - we all differ on what we like and dont like on a vehicle - in the end its your choice and what makes you happy !

Love the X5 you built. I have the 35i Premium with the Platinum Grey / Oyster / Bamboo. Best looking combo IMO. I considered MB also, but BMW is so much more sporty and I'm in love with mine.
