Waiting for my X3

Hello

New to this forum.

I’m now impatiently waiting for my X3, in mineralsilber, with beige leather interior and 20” rims 

Can’t wait to receive it. Will be exciting to see the difference in handling compared to my old car, an Audi A5

20"

It's hard to compare a car's handling to an SUV especially since the A5 is no slouch.

When is the ETA? Congratulations!!

The car has arrived looked great. But looking forward to fitting the 20s on it tomorrow. I'll post some photos as soon as the new rims are fitted

Welcome to the X3 club. Which 20" wheel did you get? Look forward to PICs. Owned my m-sport with stock 19" wheels for almost a year and love it. Congratulations!

Thanks a lot the 20's Are the 311 5 spoke. No fancy, but very clean and "Scandinavian"

Unfortunately no 35i in my garage. The basic price for that with msport is 180 000 USD

Stick on this one Was a bit of a gamble, but I like it. Had multitronic on the A5 and got a bit bored on Norwegian country-roads

The impression is excellent. I really like the drive, and was better in corners than I thought it would be. Off course the A5 cornered a bit better, but the X3 is very good

Nice vehicle, good color choice! Is it me, or does the nav screen look smaller than the US models?

Congratulatiions! Beautiful color combo. Enjoy!! Myself coming from a 2000 A6 2.7T - and my 20D is just so much nicer - although 12 years means a lot of technological improvements - and current A6 may also be nice - but I'm off big cars and a low seating position.
