Cheers. I guess it's fingers crossed for calm seas! I've seen a website where you can track ships so no doubt I'll be wasting my time doing just that soon! I think the earliest it can possibly arrive would be about Feb 7 but realistically I expect it to be the end of Feb.

Funny how the tables have turned with the X3, X5 and X6 all being made exclusively in South Carolina now. Adds a month to our orders and takes a month off yours

Awesome, thanks. Will definitely have a look for this as soon as it leaves the factory. Anything to keep me occupied!

Go for it, the 18" make the world of visual difference without impacting on the ride

I'm not really sure about the X3. Was thinking X5 but its bigger than I need. Might keep the RAV4 another year then decide. I was thinking X3 vs Q5. X3 more powerful by a mile, but Q5 wins the looks department hands down. It also has nice interior. But being a BMW fanboi of sorts its pretty much leaning X3.

I have driven X5, so how does it compare to X5? I drove the old X3 hated it went for the RAV4 imagine that! I know they said the old and the bad are gone, but not really feeling the face and butt. I have to go down to the dealer look at one I guess. Problem is I don't know anyone has one anywhere near me.

How close are you to VA Beach? These folks have one: http://www.checkeredflag.com/locations/index.htm

Funny how style is so subjective…I think the Q5 looks nice, but the X3 looks better to me…more masculine and sporty than the Q5 jmho - and having test driven both, no contest between the two in driving dynamics…and better gas mileage to boot

Add much better ride, more comfortable and better driving position to the "in favour of X3" list. And the Q5 looks great from the front but from all other angles, hmmm, not so much IMO.

X3amb,

Please post some pics of that Chestnut interior, I have been dragging my feet on the final order waiting to see what that color will look like. The computer generated colors on BMWs site are tough to base a decision on.

Congrats

Beautiful pics! Is that an accurate pic of the chestnut or does it appear more red than in real life? It looks like the coral red leather in the pics. Thanks again for the pics!

My pleasure.
It does look more red than the colors shown on the bmwna site. Before I ordered I was shown a sample that looked burgundy color.
