Yeah the 250 is fun, but will not suffice for a blossoming family, which is why we sold ours. However, it rode like a toyota, not like a lexus. The 350 is even more fun.

I disagree on the x3 and x5 being fun... I took one of each home for a day before I bought my touareg. they were very not fun and the interiors in both cars were falling apart straight off the showroom floor. I expected much more from BWM.

Let me throw in another suggestion if you are buying newer and under warranty and selling before warranty ends.. Lr3 and range rover sport. I had a discovery and a range rover and absolutely loved both trucks. The problem with LR is that half of them have catastrophic electrical problems that drive you crazy. If you have a third car, you find that the amazing ride and comfort make these problems worth the hassle.

I will also say that the gx470 is one of the most comfortable cars we have owned, but I equate it to minivan status... a place that most don't want to go until they are forced to.
