How many of you ...

after parking your X3 will try to keep staring at it for as long as possible while walking away still?

I don't do it to my 1M, so I don't think I will do it to the X3 when it arrives .

I do sometimes when it's just been cleaned. Particularly the alloys

Also good to see someone else driving it towards you every now and again too (pretty much always the wife in my case) and to look at the angel eyes. Still looks impressive IMO and the DRLs make it stand out

o park the farthest away possible in parking lots where I have at least 5 to 10 spots to myself (my wife loves this as well) . Only to come out to see only my car and some big jallopy parked right on top of it in the far distance.

My X3 28i will be arriving in a few weeks. But I am a bit regret that I didn't order either the Sports package, nor the Xenons. So I will not have Angel Eyes, the X-Lines, a bigger and more good-look wheel, and the sports seat. Can you give me some reason that I don't need them and make me feel better?

Use the $ and buy your other half something. Then everyone is happy.

Or... do a road trip and enjoy your new car!

Yeah, what is up with that. I have had that happen on numerous occasions.

I always look back, just can't stop looking at my 35i. Love the X3 for sure, and the metallic black looks awesome when it is clean.

I do the same thing all the time. Frequently just walk out into the garage and look at the wheel, and lines of the vehicle.

I do it to some of my past and present cars that are more exotic, like my GT3 for example, especially when it's clean. X3? I don't think it is that good looking a car to warrant a look is it? Haha

You don't actually "need" any of those options but they're all nice to have. Perhaps I'll see you around Bellevue (lives on Woodridge Hill) once you get your car, been seeing more X3 owners around town lately.
