I'm headed over tomorrow morning to crawl around it. It's too bad there aren't any good tire options in the 21" size but like the SQ5, I'll stick to the 20" wheels so I can get DWS 06s in that size. I wish Michelin had the A/S 3+ but maybe they'll add those sizes down the line.

I stand corrected. 40 wall on a 21 inch rim. They should have kept it at 45 since it gives more comfort, saves the wheel from bends and curb scrapes.

i saw the red and black interior on the new X3 and i actually like it more than the Sakhir Orange Interior in my F80. Looks cleaner and classier and not splashy like the F80... looks like coral red... looks good folks..!

So this is definitely carbon black?

An employee at the show said it was Carbon Black and when I checked the VIN it came back as Carbon Black. It did not have a paint code on it that I could find though.

There are three X3's displayed in the pics, the first one with the "M Performance" decal on its side is Carbon Black based on the VIN and my own eyes - also no reason to show it in Azurite since Azurite isn't available to order, the second is Phytonic, and the third (the last pic) isn't an M40i.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Yes, the M Performance branded M40i is Carbon Black with a Fiona Interior and was in a display of M Performance vehicles. It was next to an M Performance branded 7er that was Azurite Black Metallic and the rest of the M Performance vehicles displayed there all appeared to be Azurite as well, but I did not check paint codes or VINs for all of them.

The Phytonic Blue one was off on its own for an X3 display.

Thanks guys for confirming, and I'm sure the color pops more b/c of the show lights, but I would have sworn the M40i pictured was Tanzanite Blue. Then again, you guys personally confirmed with the VIN, so there shouldn't be any doubt. I have to search more to see if Carbon Black will pop like that outside, b/c it is stunning!
