Well, not everybody wants the same thing out of a car. Like I said, my wife is certain that her X-type is far superior to my car. Maybe Mike doesn't want the same things that you and I do and he truly does like the X-type better. If your idea of driving hard is an occasional quick acceleration in a straight line, you won't ever appreciate or understand the mysticism that is BMW. If Mike likes his X-type better, good for him! His choice doesn't affect us. I will keep my 330 and be equally convinced that for me, I have the right car.


Mike P appears to be the biggest X-type cheerleader on this board, but he will not explain to me why he traded in a BMW for an X-type. I can only think of two reasons, 1) he never owned a BMW, and just says that to give more credibility to his continual gushing about the X-type, or 2) the BMW was more car then he could handle, and thus he chose the X type because he thought he would still look 'cool' in a Jag, even if it was a Ford with a Jag makeover.

Mike P (I know you will read this), feel free to prove me wrong, or address any of my earlier comments about the X-type's poor performance in C&D's comparison.
