That's a head turner!! Can you post some more pics on the new thing you have in the cargo area? Most importantly, where does it connect on top? I've been looking into something like this... apparently BMW makes it as I'm sur eyour car is stock.

very nice looking...congradulations

Congrats ! I know how you feel...just got my X3 10 days ago (first BMW...). I'm in love with it. Now, I'm always willing to go pickup some groceries, milk, bread or whatever ! Any reason to drive :D

Very nice. I shouuld be picking up my Black/Black `06 this week as well...

Beautiful ride! Congrats and welcome to the board. :thumbup:

Very nice. The color keyed bumbers make the X3 look so much better.

congrats

Looks nice!!

Thanks for all the well wishes, folks. :) This first week we put 250 miles on her, and already I had to clean off the brake dust. Yep, the slots in the star wheels are a pain in the @#$. Will have to try wheel wax or something similar.

1. Voice command works great for the bluetooth phone. Cool. :thumbup:
2. My wife has mastered the PDC, and it perfectly places the X3 in the garage.
3. Kids want a dog so we can use the cargo net.
4. The radio reception is superb. I get Charlottesville stations here in Richmond. (Wife's and my UVA 'Hoos lost to the Hokies, big time).
5. Driving it on the twisties is a blast. Heck, just even short trips to pick up groceries at the Food Dog (lion) are a blast. Love the deep exhaust sound.
6. Rain sensing wipers take a bit of getting used to.

It has been a great week.
One question: when does the flapper valve in the muffler close? :dunno: It always looks open to me?
