New X3 Owner
 

I bit the bullet--after months of lurking I'm the proud owner of a CPO 2008 X3 3.0si. I've been looking at the X3, GLK, Q5, but happened upon an X3 that was the color I wanted, relatively low miles, had every package I wanted.

Something about the previous generation mechanicals plus the idea that it's at the end of its current lifecycle was comforting to me. And I feel better having the extra CPO warranty to boot.

I might be in the minority but I think she's a beauty. Love the proportions, character lines, convex/concave surfaces of the doors, just the right amount of cladding. In certain lighting the Silver Gray almost has a green, sometimes blue tint to it. Love the seating position, all of the glass. Really has a nice commanding view. Drives and handles beautifully. I find myself taking the windy roads home--it handles really well for its size.

Here she is, freshly detailed.

Congrats.

I had a two X3's a 06 and a 07.
I loved those cars drove the 06 for about 18 months and the 07 till I picked up the X5 in March.

Never had a single problem with either and really enjoyed them.

Hope you have the same experience.

Congratulations, looks great.

Love the mags!

Anyone know exactly which ones they are?

Look like Style 113s, 18"...to my eye.

Im trying to find a post where I can see all the available mags offered to the X3 (Canadian and US Market):popcorn:

P.s Sorry for the thread hi-jacking.....

Your X3 really looks great! :thumbup:

Well, here is a handy site, which shows most of the
BMW oe wheel styles...
Just plug in X3,(or X5, et al), in the drop down middle box:
Auswahl anzeigen: Baureihe: Alle

and you will get a photo list; click on one and it show a
close up pic, with wheel size, offset, tire size, etc.

Nice ride Pico!

I have the 113's on mine. I like them. (came with the winter package).

Thanks all. I think they're the standard type 204, 17" which came with car, pretty common here. I like that they're pretty easy to keep clean LOL. Just 5 spokes. Here are some more pics from my recent trip to California. Averaged about 25mpg...pretty impressed with the vehicle so far.
