scottwithrow's Full Review: 2004 BMW X3
I just replaced the factory installed Bridgestone tires with Michelins after 35,500 miles on my 2004 BMW X3. The bone-jarring ride is gone and I am now driving a car rather than a truck. The guy at the tire store called the Bridgestones "bricks". The difference is amazing. When I first leased the vehicle, I needed more room than a 3 series BMW but I wanted a manual transmission, so I got the X3. I was considering anteing up the $55,000 for a 2008 BMW 535 wagon with a manual transmission, but the new tires have convinced me to buy the X3 off lease, for $30,000 less.
