2011 BMW X3 xDrive28i

Despite enchanting few critics along the way, the all-new 2011 BMW X3 has been helping its German parent clean up on the sales charts.

Like the rest of the premium crossover segment, the X3 has been viewed by some brand diehards as a blatant cash-grab. The starting price might be easy enough to swallow, but start ticking the option boxes and the sticker swells to a size more startling than the first time you heard your mother drop an F-bomb. Despite this, we wanted to see if the 2011 BMW X3 xDrive28i could break through the enthusiast's wall of prejudice. As you'd expect, it's a mixed bag.

Wimmer, you need to stop taking an entire article. A few paragraphs and a link, please. As I recall, you're protective of your own work; don't take someone else's.

How am I "taking someone elses"? I posted a link to where the article is posted and nowhere do I claim that I took these photos or wrote the review.

If someone hyperlinked all your photos in a thread somewhere and said "these are by Wimmer," you wouldn't mind? Copyright protections aren't voided by saying "someone else wrote this thing that I am republishing."

Okay, ask Autoblog if they're cool with it. If they say yes, feel free to post their entire articles. Until then, assume they are most definitely not cool with it. This is not a suggestion.
