Need Help with decision - 7/31/2007 7:04:19 AM    scarrittjd   Posts: 2 Score: 0 Joined: 7/31/2007 Status: offline Need Help.  I am trying to decide between a BMW X3 and a Land Rover LR2.  The obvious comparison is price.  LR2 fully loaded is about the base price for an X3.  All the major magazines have done recent comparisons with these two vehicles as well as the Acura RDX.  Those publications are very biased and it’s hard to use that information, they are very inconsistent.  My sister has an X3, which I recently drove and thought was great.  I found a few issues I didn’t like, she said I was nit picking.  Can anyone lend me some insight on which vehicle I should purchase.  Thanks for the Info in advance!!

My Land Rover dealer also sells BMW, so I had the opportunity available to me to do a REAL comparison. Pricing is only one small part of owning a car.  _____________________________ VermontRoverGal-they can have my Land Rover when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!

BMW is and will always be my first love, but the X3 is not an attractive truck, and if you don't have a nice wheel and tire package on it they are borderline ugly.  The LR2 will look better in your driveway.
