The 3.5 with the Max Trailer tow is the same as the 6.2 at 11300 lbs towing capability.The 6.2 does sound great and the 3.5 sounds like a BMW inline 6 and is really quiet but peak torque is only 14 lbs less 1750 rpm earlier than the 6.2 but is also down 46 horsepower.But it is a truck and is usually driven slowly anyhow so I think it will be fine and for the rare times that I do tow it will be quite good.

Bunn, congratulations!

Your new X3 is sweet!

I've heard good things about BMW Endras too.

It's just your winter beater anyways

Who needs to go fast in the winter? I actually really like the new Ford trucks, but can't see myself ever needing one.

Im pretty impressed with how responsive the suv is, no wonder they are selling so well.

Hi.....I just contacted Endras about an '09 Coupe, black on Red Fox, 52k KM. Was this your vehicle?

bunnn · 12-01-2011, 08:23 AM

It could be, sounds like it.

KGMctok · 12-01-2011, 09:10 AM

I'm looking at an M3 coupe, black on red fox, at Endras. Was that your vehicle?

KGMctok · 12-01-2011, 09:13 AM

Sorry.... I missed your reply. Did you have any issues with it?

Nope, no issues at all. Only 1 thing that they already taken care off, the roof trim that popped off.

KGMctok · 12-01-2011, 12:31 PM

Thanks Ben.....I'm serious about buying. I would appreciate chance to talk to you about vehicle history. Can I call you?

Jaypod · 12-01-2011, 12:33 PM

Ben looks after his stuff. Would be a good choice to buy. Seen the car many times and it was always impeccable.

(oh and he drives like a grandma so its been babied.....

J/K Ben! )

gosu · 12-01-2011, 08:53 PM

I had a great experience at Endras as well.
Jason Kwan took care of me and I got a good deal.. also told him to save me a used M3 in a few years when I'm ready to step up

Endras is an all around good dealership for sure.

MaxL · 12-02-2011, 10:09 AM

Congrats on the swap, Ben! Too bad I missed the part-out of the M3 - I wanted a couple of things from your mods. I am planning to do the same thing next winter - replace M3 with X3 M or something similar and a less practical more track-focused upgrade to M3. Hope your leg heals in time for the track season.

Congratulations on your new purchase! I saw your jerez on extended fox at Endras just yesterday. They are asking $57,900. Good deal compared to all the 08's you see marked in the 60's. It would of been a better deal if whoever was buying it bought out your lease.

picus · 12-06-2011, 10:45 PM

it's a good thing I like the new x3.

I didnt know you hurt your knee. I broke mine last year. What happened? (if you dont mind me asking).

It was a snowboard injury that never healed properly and agitated by weekly basketball sessions. I told Marco my car was for sale

Guess he didn't update you.

Don't worry, I'll be back in something you should enjoy even more by Spring.
