No substiute for torque
My 2012 BTC is back at the dealer for it's hopefully last service before the extended warranty expires as I'm at 96650 miles. I got a new GLE350 as a loaner and while it's very smooth I suppose I need to learn how to drive a gasser as opposed to the diesel. Whereas the BTC has lots of shove the gas needs to rev to get going. I have also seen my roundtrip to the office go from 23.1 to 14.9 mpg.
The new interior layout is good but the mouse pad it very touchy...often changing stations
The decision now is to keep the BTC or look elsewhere. ML size to be just right for me but spending $40k to upgrade makes no sense. Q5 appears too small..Q7 too big. X5 never been my cup of tea but suppose it deserves a look.

I'd trade it in while you still can. According to some, the BT will start to be a PITA after the 100k mile marker. You got good service outta her, time to trade her in.
