[Nine17]

I bought a CPO '06 X3 with 15K mi for my wife in October. So far it's a superb car, one of the most practical I have ever owned. There's some cheap plastic in the interior but on our late-production '06 the suspension tuning is beautiful, classic BMW. Our X3 also has great suspension articulation and steering damping on dirt roads. The car is very roomy (the same interior volumes as the 1000 pound heavier Toureg or Cayenne). My main complaint is that the rear seat is a little on the hard side (the fronts are terrific). No rattles, even with that big Pope-mobile sunroof. The great price, great financing, and great warranty sealed the deal.
