Looking for good information as we search for the right XI wagon. We're currently BMW owners. My wife's 3 series cab is stored in the garage for the winter. The wagon appeals to us because of its quality, handling, and space it has for the things we need when we're out doing stuff!

Welcome to the best e60 forum in the world and have fun too
So far the I drive has me thoroughly confused. As soon as I think that I'm smart enough, it shows me otherwise.
And I'm not used to the turn signal stock yet. I think I'm used to stopping at the detent for lane changing, and then I go too far. So I end up cancelling the turn signal. Just clumsy I guess.
I'm really enjoying the XIT. I find the 530 has lots of spunk, and the wonderful handling and comfort are incredible.
Glad we bought it.

Thanks so much! We've had a number of BMW's Mers's and Volvos, including a previous generation 540, an 850i.and others...but a couple of things are fazing me.
