Alpine White / Chestnut on its way...

Just received the email yesterday showing car going thru production and my east coast dealer says it should be here within 2 weeks.

Here's hoping that ...
• the rear seat is firmly attached to the car
• BOTH side mirrors are Alpine White
• my X3 35i isn't smashed into while at the dealer before I pick it up
• the car actually got the 6NR I waited for
• I get 'good' tires spec'ed on the car
• and that no one calls me a soccer mom. (I'm a dad who races triathlons and although I respect the game of soccer, don't find it that interesting)

Spec's on the car:

Electronic Damping Control

Satellite radio

Logic7 sound system with Surround Sound and Digital Sound Processing

Sport Activity Package

Convenience Package

Cold Weather Package

Premium Package

Technology Package

Premium Package

Negotiated price also includes carpet and all season floor mats.

My quick story: Originally searching for 2008/2009 used 5 series wagon and via the Internet heard about new X3. I did get a chance to drive 5 series wagon and wasn't overwhelmed.

Drove the X3 and was blown away. Spent a lot of time on this board and of course, ordered the Sport Act Package and Dynamic Handling Package and nearly everything else.

So my "yeah, I want to spend around $30,000 on a used wagon," became a much bigger purchase but I am pumped!

Will take pics when it arrives.

I was actually all set with Deep Sea Blue and then had a sudden change of heart to white and i've never owned a white car before.

I did a see a blue water metallic 325xi this weekend and was really surprised how nice the color looked.

Still, white with the red and black interior should be great combo.

Also took a chance with the Siena (lighter) wood, to brighten things up in the interior.

Looks like you did what I did. Looking at all my options and actually set to purchase a VW took a look and test drove the new Loaded X3 just to check it out. Closed the deal and drove home in my new X335i and ending up spending a lot more than I was planning for, but I love my X3 and all of the options. Congrats.

Such an interesting combination! I really look forward to pictures. With so many choices, it seems like the only way I'll get to see what I'd like in my next BMW...
