As a newb who is excited about his new ride, I have been checking by this forum now a couple of times a day ( Yeah, I know) and it seems like the only people posting in the X-World are X5 owners.

I get that the X5 has been out for a few more years and so forth, but can it be that the X3 owners are really in such a disproportionate minority here?
In fact, even the two-year old E70 model has three times the threads and four times as many posts as the X3 forum.

Well, just for the sake of "discussion", I am interested in any thoughts you all might have as to an explanation for this.

Is it that the X3's don't break as often?

Or maybe it's that we X3'ers bought the wrong car.

Maybe we're (well not me) all just active goers with better things to focus attention on than discussing their car on an online forum?

Anyway, I am interested in your thoughts on this.


In the meanwhile, I am going to sneak out (my wife thinks I am nuts) and take the X for a ride and watch those wacky headlights sliding around. Still "learning the clutch" after almost 400 miles and I love to hear that engine sing as I wind her up to sweet line.

Hello... my name is Drum and I am addicted to my X3.
