Default The TT got a big brother today.

<center><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p312/diehlryan/100_1387-2.jpg"></center><p>Finally got out of the A4 lease and financed an 04 X3 at 2.9%. Payments are great considering there was a ton of negative equity in the A4.

The lease had to go, we were in the overage situation with mileage and paying 25c a mile to drive it.

The X3 is a 3.0 w/ premium, cold weather package. Very nice. Its a pleasure to drive.

Default I don't know...I wouldn't trade the A4 for that. I looked into the X3 when buying the A4

and after speaking with the BMW sales rep, who is a friend of mine, it was very clear that A4 was a much better choice. Guess we all have our own opinions.

Default why didn't you just get a B7 a4? Cheap, reliable, warranty.

X3 really didn't do it for me, maybe because I'm used to the X5. Honestly after the A4 I don't even like the X5 anymore. Been driving the X5 for the last week and I really miss the A4. The only good thing about it is the extra space but I can easily live without it.

Default CPO BMW - Cheap, reliable, warranty, 2.9% financing.

$0 Maintence fees to 50k and for $2k more 0 Maintence fees to 100k. Not too shabby. My early experience with BMW is that they are a much more customer oriented business. Customer is always right, should always be happy.

Hell the BMW dealership we bought the X3 from has 40+ service bays and you dont even need to set an appt for service. Just show up and it gets done.

Default I can understand that. If it wasn't for the new Audi dealership near me, which happens to have

very good service, I probably wouldn't buy another audi.
