No idea what non-RFs would have been like, as I didn't have the car but four months before it was flooded and totaled.
As for the X3, I had two as loaners from the dealer while my 328i was being evaluated after the flood last July. One was white with a black interior, the other dark sapphire blue over caramel. Both rode beautifully, were swift and nimble, and didn't do too badly on fuel, and I got used to the higher-than-a-sedan seating position very fast. The blue was a new car. If I could have afforded to go into it, or a CPO, after the 328 was totaled, I might well have. Your '17 should be a dynamite vehicle!
Just completed driving the family on a shopping round trip, and I agree. Another thing that makes the car a real winner is the range, I filled up with 422 miles on the tank, most of that 422 was my wife's daily commute (half country and half miserable backed-up traffic). On open highway it should do even better. The V6 Camry also gets over 400 miles per tank.
I like Continentals in general (yuk yuk), will check them out when the time comes.
