Talking Picked up my space gray 35i last night - Pics with 309's

I finally took delivery of my new X3. It's pretty much fully loaded and I added the 309's, which look fantastic. I've only got 30 miles on it so far, but it's an amazing car and my first (of many I'm sure) BMW.

As I know all X3 in US have red rear turn signals. Amber is only for Europe. Am I wrong?

Excellent pictures. I'm interested in comparing pictures taken in cloudy weather vs ones taken in clear weather.

There is a small stip of amber (orange) in the middle of the red that you can see.

The weather has been crap in Chicago recently. As soon as the weather breaks I'll get out and take some sunny pics.

lateshow -- That is almost the exact same X3 as I ordered, except mine is Black Sapphire and a Canadian version. You even got the storage package!

Lateshow--Gorgeous beast!! Advice I've seen in other threads is to fuzz out your license plate--

How was your experience with Fields?

I guess I was lazy. Not sure what the issue is with plates...security I guess.

I was 100% satisfied with my experience at Fields. In my opinion, a highly educated buyer can usually work around uncomfortable negotiations by knowing the right, and reasonable price to go in with. Taking delivery was a pleasure as well.

Yes, something about ID theft? Anyway just seems sensible. We have several Fields branches here in Florida and I dealt a bit with them and was impressed. I went with a local dealer in the end because he offered the best price; but Fields was smarter to deal with, knew more about the vehicle and were straighter about the process.
