It was a good time, despite the weather! I ended up getting Dunlop Wintersport 3D runflats (wife is primary driver) on Enkei EKM3's. Seeing the Enkei's in person, I think they would look better on a smaller car, like the 3er but that's what I get for only being able to see a side profile online. One issue I ran into was that since Tire Rack didn't have info on the new X3 yet I took a risk and ordered the TPM sensors for the 2010 X3. Apparently, BMW recently changed the frequency their sensors operate on so I had to get new ones installed once I got home to Chicago.
I'll keep an eye out for you, Lotus7. So far, I have not seen a single F25 X3 on the road yet.

Only have about 75 miles on it so far, so you have a big head start. So far both the wife and me are happy with the car and are becoming familiar with all the bells and whistles. Picking it up at the dealer was a 2.5 hour experience between all the paperwork, sales pitches and explanations of the various extended warrantees and then the control walk-trough from the CA. Fortunately, from reading the on-line owner's manual, and the help of this forum, I knew more about the operation of the X3 than the CA. Our PCD consisted of a mile trip around the dealer's neighborhood at less then 40 mph.
What winter wheel/tire package did you wind up with and how do they feel?
Best of luck with your new toy. If you see a red one with 18 inch wheels, on the streets of Chicago, please wave.
