The X3 is quiet and the engine is a gem - silky smooth and revs freely, almost Honda-like, but the transmission is kinda odd - seems to hold onto lower gears way too long.

It may have picked up bad habits from its previous user, if it is anything like the auto in the E46. Disconnecting the battery for a bit and re-connecting it might prove interesting.
