2 months, approx 2400 miles - very happy w/ my X3. glad I ordered all the options and color I did. Glad I didn't get the Q5. Happy w/ my choice to get a late 2011 so I could get SAP + 308 wheels. Sent my JD Powers survey back this weekend w/ no reported problems at all.

I really don't miss my E91 much anymore, really prefer the F25 X3.

Last, I like Botwin's X3 as much as mine because DSB+Mojave X3 rules (insert rant about your color choice here)

2200 miles so far so good.

Carbon black metallic 35i

Millions of things I love.

Things I hate:

- gas milage/lack of diesel in US (bs)
- sport suspension delete
- it wasn't free

Even the colors and combos I was not too sure about have ended up looking pretty good once real owner pics are posted - can't think of a color I don't like the X3 in...(well maybe that light blue...)

I had a 2004 bluewater X3 and really liked the color.
It’s one of those colors that changes a lot with varying light conditions.
I was considering getting it again, but just wanted a change so I went with black.

Hope you'll love the color as much as I do. I've yet to see another bluewater metallic X3 in person.

http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=550003 official blue water metallic thread - hasn't been updated in nearly 2 months - you all should post some picts. same for other colors who haven't posted yet - those official color threads are a great place to see lots of X3's by color. I guess some people forget to check the 2nd forum for picts and vids. would love to see blue water + mojave.

I like that the X3 is stealth-fast!

We had 4 inches of snow on top of rain/ice and the X3 with snow tires is as good as any winter car I have driven so far...and I really liked the 335xi with snow tires used the past 4 years!
