Like many things in life, being a dad comes with stereotypes. How we dress, what we say, and yup, what we drive. But when it comes to driving, BMW has an answer in the form of the X3 and X4. With the option of that “M lite” power train, I decided to gather my own X3 xDrive30i, and compare it to an X4 M40i. I’m not cool anymore, but are these cars?

I love it for what it is, but it’s never going to ask you to dance. There is no doubt that if BMW still made a 3 Series wagon here, I’d be in one. But they don’t because we all buy SAVs instead. And that’s OK, because if I had a wagon, I would have made a mistake. I’d have a smidge of driving fun back in exchange for half the practicality.
