Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content


Recommended Posts

I cancelled my order for an X3 after reading several negative reports; my Rx300 SE is due in 6 days B)

I must say I'm pretty pleased with the decision having seed an X3 today but the wife's disappointed as she likes the X3.

What I'm looking for is confirmation I've made the right decision, so what do you think. RX300-SE or BMW X3 2.5?

Thrupennybit - I don't know anything about the the X3 but I have had my RX 300 SEL for two weeks now and it is a dream. The list of included extras is unending (unlike any BMW) and the build quality/finish is faultless.

I am stationed in Germany and the Germans don't do anything less than BMW or Merc, however, I have seen the sly looks of envy. :winky:

Reassure the wife when she gets her :tsktsk: into that RX 300 she will know that you made the right choice.

Enjoy

well most people don't even know why the x3 was made - nearly the same size as the X5 and less talented. Great. oh not to mentioned over priced!

The RX 300 wins every time. The cost of specing up an X3 to the level of an rx would be silly.

I recently read an article comparing the X3 with an RX, a volvo xc90 and a freelander. Even the freelander, which is a much older vehicle (and way cheaper)came out better than the X3!

Rest assured, you definitely made the right decision!
