Bmw X3
I know these things are little, but I heard somewhere they were offered with a diesel... IMO that seems like it would make an excellent year round daily and roadtrip vehicle (I LOVE diesel).
Unfortunately I can't find information anywhere on the diesel engine offered or pricing. The BMW website doesn't have it, and neither does edmunds. I believe it was Car and Driver TV that was talking about it, so I assume it was correct information.
Do any of you guys have links to any info on it?! I would get a diesel Touraeg but they are $65k!!!

A business partner just picked up one 2 weeks ago, well not diesel.... I noticed a silver 3 series in the parking lot this morning....
Naturally being a Lexus fan I say "In the shop already?"
Glim look, he nods. I say, you should have bought a Lexus. His wife wanted the X3......
He had a small shopping list of issues, as of 4pm they called and said they couldn't fix anything, the major one being the very hard turn over\starting on the colder mornings, they said they found nothing wrong with the engine.... A little bit after 4pm I get a note "I should have bought a Lexus"
This is going to make for some awesome badgering I can already tell!!

Mercedes offers an E-Class diesel...or will very shortly. The big obstacles to selling diesels in the U.S. have been cheap gasoline and a lack of high-quality low-sulfur fuel here.....most of the diesel fuel sold here (except for VW) has been for large trucks and diesel railroad locomotives. By 2006 we will have low-sulfur diesel fuel in production here, and you will then start to see MANY more diesels coming over here from Europe and Japan.

I think all sport utes are ugly, so for me it comes down to a matter of engine selection and what kind of mileage it will get...
Also, something that can tow is very important, which is why diesel is high on my priority list.

guys..
is the vw touraeg really that bad???..hmm i think it is a good value suv..few LA dealers already giving good size discount...i would also consider a low-miles pre-owned cayenne S..vs. a loaded VW
back to the thread..i saw few x3s in LA lately, ok from the outside. it is basically target someone who wants an suv, with german name plate..then again, the 1st yr, or 2 , will always have reliablity issues..the % is def higher with european cars- this is coming from a guy who work for a german car dealership
