BMW for Mercedes

I feel like a traitor!

My C240 4-matic wagon just came off lease. I wanted to replace it with another Mercedes but there was nothing with the same size and utility to replace it with.

So today I went to the BMW dealership and ended up leasing an X3. I drove one for the first time today. I'll pick it up Thursday.

congrats on the new car.

personally I'd get the 325xi wagon over the X3 anyday since they have the same room, the 325 would handle better, and you can't realy take the X3 off-road.

I know, but the wagon was $100 more per month with the same $ down, and the dog will be able to stand up in the X3.

Well X3's are REALLY cheap to lease as opposed to the new e90's...congrats the x3 was fun to drive when I tested one out a couple years ago. They look much better now that they have body matched bumpers.
