Hi X3'ers!
I'm a new member (sort of) and wanted to say "hi". I've owned 24 BMWs (not a typo) and have had an E53 for the last two years. Yesterday I went to my local BMW Dealership to trade in my 01' X5 3.0 on a beautiful 2006 X5 4.4. I drove the new X5, loved it and started signing the paperwork to buy it. Halfway through, I saw a stunning Montego Blue 2007 X3 sitting outside. I just had to look at it, the color alone forces you to stare at it!! I darted outside, looked at it, test drove it and ended up buying it over the 2006 X5. I got a killer deal on the X3 too!!
Here's the stats on my new X3:
2007
Montego Blue Metallic
Grey Leather Interior
Steptronic
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package w/ Heated Rear Seats
Bluetooth / BMW Assist
Adaptive Xenon Headlights
Full Alarm / Security System
iPod / iPhone Interface
Probably more that I'm forgetting
It has every option and package except Nav.
It has 22,000 miles on it and is a one owner car that was bought new at the same dealership that I bought it at and has all dealership service records from 2007 through now. All books, manuals and keys too!
I'm not new to the E83 at all. I bought a brand new base model (only option being the Pano) 'Dark Silver' 2.5i back in 2004 when they first came out. I traded it in the very next year on a brand new pretty loaded 'Mystic Blue' 2005 2.5i. Several months ago, my Mom bought a 2007 X3 for herself. Now we're twins! Well, different color combos and options but still kinda cool!!
Here's the new plaything:
