I bought a chick car - bigger is better

[blackx3]

The verdict's in.
Thanks to all for your feedback regarding my X3 - but I've concluded that I did indeed by a sweet, brand new, 2006 black on black BMW X3... chick car.

My pal Corey in Oregon and his stylin' Saturn Vue agree that I bought a pansy ride.
The Vue is bigger and has a faster Honda engine -- who knew?
I immediately booked a flight to OR and beat him silly with my new X3 manual.

Point: Nobody's running around calling the Saturn Vue a Chick Car.

And, biggger IS better. Seems like X5 rules over X3 - by popular consensus.

I could quote what you all have said but you can go look for yourselves.
And most of you seem to be X5 owners... trying making the X3 owners feel better... probably so your X3 owner wives don't get mad at you.

Seems like the two cars are VERY close in size - 1 inch in height and a few in length. No diference in width. If anything - so they say, there's a tad more space in the X3.

That means I can fit one more bag of Trader Joes groceries... or a small child in the back end, folded over... definitely worth the x-tra dollars on the X5.

Bottom line, the X5 is bigger, more expensive and oh, I forgot... has a cooler, more straight-edged less girly design.

Truth - if I would have afforded the X5, as opposed to donating thousands of dollars to not only the starving children around the world but those who are just feeing a bit peckish - could use a snack, maybe a pop-tart or a fig newton, I would have done so. But all the same, I'm happy to be the proud owner of the X3. Enough said.

I do believe that the X3 was shat out as a chick-targeted "Less-UV" and I have one, I'm stuck with it for 3 years and I dig it.

I'll just adjust my seat a bit higher.
