Make sure you get the regular suspension though and not the sports one. We tried both and the sports ride is VERY rough.

That's good to know. I was considering the sport suspension. Anyone have experience with the 2.5L?

Sorry I made the mistake and tested the 3L first and it is very quick so I would assume the 2.5 is very adequate... just not great like the 3L. This SAV definetly does not need sport suspension..... i have sport suspension on my 540 and it is smoother than the regular suspension on x3 which is quite tight.... almost too tight................. but it corners like stink, so it is great with regular susp..... you do bounce around a bit however.. but it is an suv.

But the more you drive it, Alex, the better it handles and keeps on cornering OK. I agree that the 3.0i is spirited.
