Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3973605, member: 1414"] I was later to BMWs. A 2007 328xi. But that straight six is legendary. Just a gem. Might be the best engine the ever made. Unfortunately our local roads are broken and the ride quality nearly broke me over time. I would hit the bump stops constantly. Bought a 2017 CPO 340si two years ago which was screaming fast. Dyno on it is way beyond the rated HP. But I developed sciatica or some such and was in excruciating pain after 25 minutes driving it. Traded it back to the same local shop for an X5. I also have a steep driveway. So I gave up fun, though the X5 is not slow, for really tall windows and a big moonroof. I treat it like a monstrous convertible of sorts, or a less clumsy 4Runner. It is nice to effortlessly drive over curbs to park at the rail trail and it swallows golf clubs with ease. Head’s up display is nice. Given I work from home now, it should last a long time. [/QUOTE]
