Yeah, not sure if it's the lighting or if they used high gloss leather wipes, but looks different than most of the red interiors I've seen. I'd kind of like to do a superman car and swap in some red seating. 

Don't know if you care about the brakes Justin, but that one doesn't have M brakes. Expect to be shunned in the school pick up line. Although, the M brakes do have occasion to make some noise when especially cold out.

I've read some timing chain guide issues as well, but it seemed mostly in the 2013. need to check back, maybe it's cropping in 2014s now. I noticed that too on the CPO and thought I was missing something, not really worth it. There is a thread over in F30 post about extended warranty purchased through BMW dealership and I think it was either Rockville or Sterling that had a pretty good deal on it at one time.

Nice choice. My coworker just got a new crv. EX I think - cloth seats but has Apple car play/Android auto, remote start, heated seats. It's nice. The price of new cars is insane these days.

I mean, Stef’s CX9 was the top rated 3 row crossover according to most enthusiast mags... but that is also like saying it’s the most attractive patient at the local methadone clinic.

I like it enough, would have no issues driving it as my DD, and I don’t have to strap a hemorrhoid to the top of it every time I want to the kids and my stuff someplace, so :bootyshake: at you wagon jokers.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

Better than riding in the hemorrhoid. All the time.

  I was just stoking on Apoc.  I am fully aware he isn't an SUV fan.
Isn't that your car that you can't sell?  Tongue 

Apoc, it isn't an SUV and can technically hold "3 people" in this case.....hahha  Why don't we have a thread for things we have convinced our significant others to do and probably won't ever happen again?

Yeah, cant sell the damn thing. Traded 50 emails with a guy in the past 2 weeks who seemed pretty interested, but didnt respond to his last one with a lowball offer.

By the time it sells, it'll be spring time and I wont want to replace it with another car, so there's that. My wife's ride will be the vespa.

That probably means I'm just the most overbearing husband... but I will say my wife didn't like the CX-5, V60, or Allroad we drove so we did arrive at the decision together. She didn't want a white wagon. She lost that battle.

I just bought what my wife liked the best *shrug

She originally wanted the CX5 when I convinced her to get the RDX, but I'm glad I waited a generation to replace it with one because I like the 2017 better.

Me too... I've just trained her not to like anything that isn't a wagon.  Big Grin

Honestly though, she's always been anti-SUV. She loved her Mazda3 and very much wanted a wagon too. I tried to talk her into testing an X1 and she nixed that for being too tall.
