All that is true. But not sure I care as much, if it's s second car (along with my 2). I've had two 3 wagons, a 5 wagon, two X5s, and a million 3 sedans/convertible. I totally get it. Also, there is such a glut of Xs on the market, they are relatively cheap for what you get.

And, admittedly, the 2 is so spartan, it would be nice to have the comparative luxury of the X5 platform.

Water pools up fast here. Not sure of the depth, three inches? Probably more, as it often hits the front end of my 2 and plows.
