On holiday in St Ives last week, only spotted 2 X3's. I Blue one driving near Truro and one which parked two cars away from me in St Ives, Black anmd same interior as mine but with the 18 inch tyres. Didn't spot any others on the drive down or back.
By the way, since they changed the comms unit on the car the Sat screen has worked perfectly

AW on a 60 plate on the A167(M) - Newcastle central motorway. (Along with 2 X5s and an old X3 within a quarter mile near the Tyne Bridge; must be all you rich southerners in town for the Great North Run!)

Not mine either! It's some little consolation that they still aren't too common up here in the Northeast.

Did the seagulls have fun with your black paintwork?

Also glad you sorted the nav screen

I seem to be in a low X3 density area too. Nowhere near as many sightings as some of these other boys. I've also only seen two in central London and I'm there a lot, and only a handful on numerous trips along the M4 to Wales and around the M25. Not complaining, in fact still enjoying the exclusivity although those early days back in February were better

They probably all run and hide when they see you coming! Take a sneaky look in your rear view mirror and see if you can catch them making faces behind your back!

sfax, you're not trying hard enough. Black x-line with 19" wheels parked in Car Park 6 at the Newbury Show on Saturday. As reported in this thread I think I've seen the same AW in the Reading area a couple of times.

The frustrating thing is, I'm always on the lookout!!

I'm gonna bag yours before too long Waffle

Look out for a TiAg + 19s + Ti grille roaming the streets....

I know it doesn't count as a proper sighting, but today I saw 6 to 8 on the back of 3 transporters leaving Southampton this morning. Mostly blacks and whites, SEs and M Sports.

Some lucky people are getting theirs in the next few days .

I'm still waiting for mine, end of October hopefully.

Saw a Titanium Silver in London, last Sunday (25/09) at about 11:30am, at the junction of Grosvenor Road and Vauxhall Bridge (Rd).
I was in the outer lane, going straight (West), TS was in outer lane also, on opposite side of junction, going East..

Sfax was that you?!

Brilliant description marmite but alas, I was in Wales at the time (with the X3). We're still waiting for a UK XBimmer member to get spotted. Has to happen soon!

Oh well, will happen.
It's nice to spot them, still less often than I'd expect.
