Very nice colour. I wasn't brave enough to order a red car.

In your pics I also see two red bikes, a red sled, a red snow shovel, a red dust pan, and a red pole of some kind - guess a red X3 was an easy choice!

Congrats ! great looking car , wish you the best of luck with her !

Congrats Lotus. Nice choice of colour. I like the way it shows off the accents on the side of the car. Will look even better in the sun when you get some!

Now that's what I'm talking about Thanks Lotus. I really like the VR. Will it ever be that clean again?

Are those Pirelli Cinturate P7s (i.e. summer tires)? Did your dealer have any comments about their use in our lovely winters?

Thanks for clearing that up (and the pic). Couldn't imagine BMW would go with a strictly summer tire for the North America market but googled the P7s and only saw the summers.

I swear I'm going to know more about my X3 at delivery than any dealership employee in the building! All BMW salesman should be required to use this site as their homepage!

Sharp looking car! That color suites it very well. I like those outdoor photos with all the reflections!

Curious. Your photo shows some"yellow" parking pads. I presume these are markers for vehicle positioning. I've used a tennis ball hung from the ceiling for similar positioning. Do these work well? How are they held down? Where did you get them?
