I just returned from a BMW driving experience for the X3 which was awesome. I got to drive the new X3, Lexus R350 and Mercedes GLK350...I got to drive around a track with a driving instructor and it was the funnest thing I've done so far...Afterwards we did hot laps with the instructor driving and it was awesome...That X3 really handles great...I was really impressed...The Mercedes had decent handling but was harder to handle...The Lexus just plowed thru the corners...
