As a software engineer, I still have to manually enter the correct number of parenthesis and semicolons. If I make a variable called “timeNow” and then later refer to it as “timenow”, computer freaks out.

Interesting. I’ve never had the chance to drive one, but I remember the reviews criticizing the ride as being unduly stiff, even for a BMW/SUV.

Back in 2008 it seemed like the manual transmission BMW would never die. How wrong we were. 

Used student loan money for a clutch on my old car instead of books for that semester.

Seems really hard to find an M-sport with 6 speed. Terracotta is a great color interior too. Wife really misses how awesome that moonroof was on the E83 compared to her G01 X3 now. It’s amazing how they dumb down a feature they did so well on in the past. 

My first exposure to these was while working as a BMW tech while these were still new. They grew on me. I really wanted an e46 wagon, but those were harder to find and more expensive at the time I bought the x3. I had ten 05 x3’s to choose from in silver, gray, and black. I picked a silver one with the stuff that…

Our ‘17 F25 35i is a fine fine car, but I miss my ‘07 E83 3.0si every single day. 

I loved my 05 3.0i. Had it for almost 3 years. Traded it on a 128i - wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. That x3 was, hands down, the best car I’ve ever owned. Yeah, the coolant reservoir got done as PM and I had driveshaft issues. Those were the biggest issues in 3 years and 50k miles. I’d gladly do it…

$6k is a fair price for an x3 of this vintage. 6 speed is a definite perk. The n52 makes a world of difference in these.

I don’t think we would be having this discussion if this were an automatic. Same with the Suzuki yesterday and several before that.

I do not understand why the lien changes the value for some people. Sure, you have to remove it, but the value of the car is the same. If we were talking about a one-year-old vehicle with a lien, no one would blink. So why is it an issue here? Is your house worth less because of a mortgage? Of course not. I’d be more…
