Yes, I went from an E90 to the E83. I knew that the X3 electronics were based on the e46 3-series so this wasn't a shock to me.

The only thing that we miss is the dual climate control and the REST button. On the plus side, the e46 electronics were/are less complicated so there should be less problems down the road.

My X3 was prewired for Sirius so I simply bought a BMW Sirius receiver, changed the wiring plugs on the head unit, and bought a subscription. No need for aftermarket Sirius.

There is not much of an aftermarket for the X3, but the big name tuners will make exhausts and springs for it. Nothing too dramatic though, and the push will be for the F25 for the future.
