Bye X5 hello X3

Bye X5 hello X3

Hi

I got rid of my 2009 X5 with 100K miles, i am going to miss that car, I ended up getting a X3, but looking at forums, there is not much Activity or questions not answer. Is there any other Forum site that X3 owners are using?

Will Post my Vin when my Vehicle gets delivered. I traded in my car to BMW, I would not sell it to someone without notifying the issues I know I had in the car. BMW Dealer said only issues was the Control Arm needed replacements. But they knew that, cause that was the shop that did 90 percent of my car work.

You didn't mention which X3 generation you're getting...that would help us help you better in finding a more active forum. Here are some of the other forum sites I visit and the X3 forums they have. But don't give up on the X3 forum here at BimFest...try to keep engaging with them here or document and share on the forum here to help them understand what a great forum looks like. The more they share, the better the forum due to the collective wisdom of everyone's input. If the site is full of takers (of info) but no one shares...then the forum will become a ghost forum.

Here's some X3 forums of other sites I frequent...perhaps one of them is more active:

  1. https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=101 - E83/F25/G01 (X3 forums)
  2. https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/index.php - E83/F25/F97/G01 (X3 forums)
  3. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/f...03-X3-(E83-F25) - E83/F25 (X3 forums)
