I've owned two BMWs and two Audis. I think they are very similar in most every respect. What made me switch brands was BMW's Chris Bangle. About 2004, he was brought in and completely destroyed BMW's good looks. I think they look like something a clown would drive. Some are worse than others. The bigger sedans aren't too bad. I simply like the styling of the Audi much better.

Being new to the "Q5" forum have pictures of the Deep Sea Blue Pearl SUV ever been posted? If not could that be done?

I think it's cool either way, whether the nod is out of jealousy, or admiration, getting a nod from another enthusiast is always excellent!

I'm a bit partial to this particular one:

Thanks for the pic's "11", I tried to acquire that exact combination in a 2010 in May, long story short version, could not get it done so am awaiting delivery of a 2011 with the same exact pedigree due either the end of July or 2nd wk in Aug. I did have a chance to see that combination in a Naples Fl. dealership so thanks again for the post I am trying to be patient.

BMW X3 rides rougher but handles better.I prefer the better ride.Handling in a SUV is not as important.
