And then I slightly forgot about posting. Still pretty washed out with the amount of light we get in here and taking them with the iPhone4. Vermillion Red on Oyster 28i.
We ordered a Vermillion Red M sport with Oyster 2 weeks ago...can't wait! Thanks for the pictures; we haven't even seen an X3 M sport in real life yet regardless of interior/exterior color so this helps to confirm our choice.

I noticed that the rims are different from the other M sports that I've seen; any reason?

Yes, it is a 28i. The 28i gets 18" wheels with a slightly different spoke pattern vs. the 19" wheels on the 35i M Sport.

And the pickup time came yersterday Afternoon. I bring back my E91 and took the F25. What a huge improvement in terms of comfort, the dynamic damping control make the car feel like a magic carpet even with the 19'' wheels. here are the old one, and the new one.

Congrats! Very nice indeed. Our E91 went in trade for the X5, and the E90 for the X3.

Thanks Guys.

Yes ledzep I remember you from the E91 board. Space gray has the advantage to be light enough to make the front sides air intakes looking big. The visual effect is less noticeable on dark colors.

The car is just great and awesome.

Update 7/19/11 : some pics

If you pull that string, will the little observatory fall down?

Nice photos!

not sure it will fall down. Or I will need tires with extra grip...
In fact it is not an observatory, but the (or one of the) approach radar of Geneva Airport. The string, is the lift used for the maintenance people of the radar.

Why is the scenery other places always so beautiful? I live in a wonderfully beautiful place but Europe seems so much more.

Grr. Decided to add the M package a little too late. Wish I can go back in time to add it in.

The grass is always greener....

True though, some of the backgrounds in other's photos do tend to take center stage.

Case in point, check out my scenery. Every time I visit other places I can't wait to get back to the mountains here.
