I'd rather have a copy of the previous year manual (if nothing changed) then have a car company like BMW add to the cost of the vehicle because they had to print additional manuals. Remember that all costs get bumped to the consumer in some form or fashion.

Well, as long as the CAR itself is an '06, I don't know that I'd worry about it so much... if it makes you that uncomfortable, though, ask the dealer for a new manual.
Congrats on your new purchase, by the way!  Juan

They've probably gone with the same photo for all their world manuals, and since most X3's are produced with black bumpers, majority ruled... at least in the short term until they decide to produce a cover solely for the U.S. market.
The other thing that just occured to me, and maybe this makes more sense, is that with it being so early in the new model year they might not have the new manuals yet. That happened to me once about 10 years ago, and I was able to get a new manual a few months later from the dealer. Last edited by B&DCalgary; 10-19-2005 at 08:56 AM.

Like was posted on the 'other' X3 message board, the 2.5L's are still generally plastic bumpers whereas the 3.0 has the painted bumpers to differentiate the 2 models....at least that's what it's like here in Canada. Hence, contrary to your dismay, the plastic bumpers have not been discontinued or otherwise eliminated.
