I was at a local grocery store this past weekend when I saw one of the new 2006 X3s in the parking lot (the ones with the painted bumpers). I decided to go and have a look to see if there is really any difference between my ’04 X3 and the new ’06 X3. To my surprise I noticed something…the ’06 model came with an ///M Series steering wheel and the rims had the ///M Series emblem on it (I’m not talking about someone putting an ///M Series sticker on the rims, I’m talking about actual ///M Series rims).

Since when is this feature available. Since my father works for BMW I asked him if there is now an ///M Series version available for the X3 but he hasn’t heard of that yet.

Anyone know about this?
