You can rally a GTI with big wheels right?

Or better yet.... Is it even mildly possible for me to tempt and enchant you with the thought of an Audi wagon?

If you truly want a three-pedal BMW wagon, my friend Chris would probably sell you his 2002 525iT. Silver on gray, cared for and up to date on everything. Happy to put y'all in touch.

They go around VIR pretty okay.

The 07/08 X3's have the N52 engine which has proven to be very reliable save for the drive belt tensioner (seal fails, slings grease) and oil filter housing gasket (seal fails, slings oil). Both are under $100 and super easy DIYs. The water pump is electric and a bit of a bitch to change when it's 17* that day. Also, it's like $400. I believe they give you a failure warning in the iDrive (low coolant flow or something) or you can just replace every 100k like any other BMW.

There was an issue with the AWD on some of them but I think mostly confined to the earlier years. Something about a solenoid or actuator? Sounded like an easy fix and very commonly known.

Otherwise they're just a big 330xi wagon on stilts.

i like everything about that except being on stilts. i have no need for more than about 5" of ground clearance. we already own a tippy wagon truck thing.

thanks for the info on the N52 though. everyone i've talked to has said the same thing about them being pretty much tanks.

which Jeff? i missed this.

i'm sort of picturing one lowered a bit with big mud flaps and some hella fog lights on the front. there could be potential for some rallyx fun but they're pretty heavy. i don't NEED something that tall but i've been trying to find a bmw 3 series wagon that doesn't have 100k+ miles, in a manual, that's less than 400 miles away, in my budget and its almost impossible.

i also would like something that's getting closer to 28-30 mpg highway. we already have a thirsty SUV as it is.

i dunno...i just feel kinda out of my element imaginging driving a BMW suv around...my mother in law will think im pretty cool though.
