Spotted another one in Poland near Krakow on the motorway yesterday. TiAg but that's all I could see as he was travelling the other way. That's 2 I've seen in 2 days over there but still only 4 in total in the UK

Seen 4 in Aberdeen, two in our office carpark (AW and what I think is mineral silver). I pass a vermillion red one on the way home and clocked a space grey one yesterday while stuck in traffic.

Still waiting to see a black one although th eone I got to test drive a couple of months back was jet black.

It's nearly July so only 5 months now until my CB 30d M Sport is mine

Bluewater, 17s, no xline, female driver, travelling north on the A38 near M4/M5 last night at about 8pm. First bluewater I've seen in the flesh and liked it

I have actually seen 5 in cardiff over the past 2 weeks, its far too common now. I bet their bloody nav screens work properly. Actually I don't Know what was happening last Sunday but I drove passed a Ferrari 599, Gallardo, DB9 and an 1M within 5 minutes of each other. By the way the 1M was in orange and looks one hell of a mean car and sound fantastic.

There is a good chance the White one could be mine!

I've only seen 4 so far (not including mine)

1 Black one (German plate) in February near Dusseldorf, then a silver one a couple of weeks later.

1 Silver one (French Plate) near Calais in May when I was driving Back to collect mine

1 white one at Park Lane BMW when I was collecting mine.

I've done 2,000 'bahn miles and not seen another one at all!

Mine's coming from Park Lane too, even though I live in Leeds. How come you ordered from there but state your location as DE? Forces?

This thread has died as they've become more and more common but I've still only seen about 10 or so in the UK. AW in Kensington last Thursday evening and a couple in Poland recently, including an SB X3 proudly on show next to an M3 and a 1M in Sopot

Photos attached to make it slightly more interesting

Common is right! Thought I was special in my little town, but coming at me the other day on the main road was a new AW and I park next to blue one the other day in the next town over. Oh well I guess my "15 minutes" of fame is up.

I think it's the "showroom" lights as it was an iPhone pic

I actually didn't like the colour in the flesh much at night under those lights BUT the next morning in the early morning sun it looked really nice. Again, those alloys are well suited to the SE too

Shhh! Don't tell anyone LOL. Actually I am returning to the UK shortly, no more 'bahn storming for me. I've only managed 128mph out of the X3.

I dealt with International and Specialist Sales, which was part of Park Lane.

TS X3 parked on a driveway in Remenham this afternoon. First TS I've seen without xLine and I definitely prefer the xLine window trim. Saw 17" alloys in the flesh again and they look much better than in photos

Sfax, were you on your way to the Rewind Festival?

If so did you need 4WD?
