Keep an eye out for my Black one in NW Leics

OMG, Titanium Silver one here at my work in the parking lot this morning!
This makes about the 4th or 5th X3 I've seen now.
2 white ones driving downtown ( could be the same one I saw twice )
1 black one on the freeway
1 Mineral silver in the woods ( I posted the pic in this thread )
and now a Titanum at my work parking lot...

Guess I'm not gonna be the first new X3 in the lot now

They're popping up all around downtown Chicago these days. There's a white one that someone street parks in Bucktown. I've seen 2 black ones and another space gray. One thing I haven't seen is one like mine that is wearing 309's, which makes me even happier for going that route (until it snows).

Redbhuna · 04-28-2011, 05:03 AM

Saw not one, not two but three yesterday, North bound M1 around J26.

Not X3's...

Transporters!

8 X3's (OK maybe some where X5's) on each.

Seems like those SC car builders have finally got to work!

Bimmer UK - Which dealer is yours from and whereabouts in NWL should I keep alert?

sfax · 04-28-2011, 05:17 AM

I'm nailed on for at least one sighting today. 250 miles of driving through England and Wales. Watch this space later for details

Good work on the transporter spot but as I told BimmerUK76, we can't count those

sfax · 04-28-2011, 12:06 PM

Not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure I saw a Sparkling Bronze on the A40 near Carmarthenshire earlier today.

Also saw an AW 1M - first 1M I've seen - very nice

Sytner Leics and work in the ville

I saw one outside of Loveland, CO. White...I think 28i.

fedinand · 04-28-2011, 03:14 PM

Saw a black X3 around 11AM today in Minneapolis. It was on 46th and crossing Nicollet going east. I couldn't tell if it was a 35i or 28i…just caught a brief glimpse while I was filling up with gas.

Andrewob · 04-29-2011, 03:04 PM

I have at long last spotted a very nice black x3 with oyster leather just outside abergavenny. Anyone on the forum own this?

I was quite surprised to see one, after a host x5's and x1's I thought were x3's...

Do you work in Bothell? Did it have roof rack? That may be mine...

Nope, work in downtown Bellevue... saw the titanium at the building I work at in an underground parking lot below, but have not seen it sense... not sure if it was just a visitor or an employee of this building. Is your's titanium silver? or maybe it was one of the other ones I saw... I think all I've seen so far have had roof racks.

How are you liking your 35i so far? Can't wait to get mine, but hasn't even gone into production yet

BIMMER UK 76 · 05-12-2011, 03:32 PM

Clocked up a few miles in Poland this week (Katowice to Kielce and return) and not a single F25 X3 (couple of old X3's and the odd old X5)

And I'm sure you were trying hard to spot one too

I'm still only on a count of 2 internationally but I'm still always looking....

DJ Daddy-O · 05-12-2011, 05:00 PM

How about this - got an email from my sales adviser today and he mentioned he had seen me driving around. Gave me a location which is spot on where I would be when he saw me driving to work.

Not all dealers deserve a bashing ....!

Waffle · 05-14-2011, 03:42 AM

Spotted a white one in Reading (UK) yesterday. Come on sfax.

Just bagged a jet black, no xline, london 60 plate, parked in Loddon Valley Leisure Club about an hour ago. Back of the net!

BIMMER UK 76 · 05-14-2011, 06:55 AM

V Red in Syston, Leicestershire (first VR in person and looked very nice)

Yes mine is titanium silver and so far I am very happy. Love the HUD and 360 degree camera. Handling in Sport mode is great; the feel of the steering wheel also becomes a little heavier which I like. I could go on. Bottom line I am very happy with the X3.

Only a couple minor "issues" that I have. One is the lift gate height setting sometimes will reset itself to the maximum height. This is a problem because my garage door when open is too low to allow the lift gate to open fully. The lift gate setting has reset several times and twice I missed that it was opening all the way! Ended up with minor scratches on the lift gate.

Other more minor gripe is that the suspension resets to "normal" every time the car is turned off. I prefer driving in Sport and would like it if the setting would remember where I left it.

That's about it.

First Sat with the X3, and I was on the A1231 going from Washington to Sunderland, and there was another X3, black with stock 17's (that's all I could see). Who was this?
