The drivers door sill only had the transport info sticker and tire size and pressure sticker. That's when I asked if it was ok to pop the hood.

after viewing the video, its a completely different steering wheel

bmwusa.com is showing same steering wheel for both models

somer · 10-09-2017, 02:54 PM

nice wheels, bmw really shit the bed with the f90 m5 wheels

sharocks · 10-09-2017, 02:58 PM

The M on the center console is straight rice. Get that out of there.

Exhaust tips have be decently confused. But whatever, they're different.

Looks good! Do we know the power figures already?

I thought the same thing. It looks very dofferent

It looks good but it looks narrow and under wheeled compared to its bigger brother the X5,

Even though these are 21" which is a big wheel, visually they appear like a 19" in proportion to the car, and they are also seriously lacking concavity..

Sweet M badge above the cupholders...

No, really, it's sort of an M, if you just stare at the badge above your Starbucks, you will really really feel it, we swear!

Wheels are too small too...

Congratulations on your tour, Palbay, and thanks for sharing.

I think it looks better without those grey accents in the bumper IMO.

The stance/ride height look photoshop

Red Bread · 10-09-2017, 04:53 PM

So the third pic shows the side "vent" to be ornamental only, correct?

Are you discussing looks or how they will affect its performance? http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showth...1406537&page=2 - referencing Kozzi's post at 10-06-2017, 11:13 AM

Agreed. Just find it amusing that people think these goofy things on the 4er, 5er and X5 actually do anything.

Maybe they should just get rid of the roundel all together and just rename the company ///M. How can there be more M labels then bmw labels??

That's because it was a euro-spec car. Sometimes they got VIN sticker on the passenger side door jamb.

LemonOne · 10-09-2017, 06:38 PM

So the steering wheel is the same.
What happened to the silver trim on the front bumper??

Correct, as-per the lead designer Calvin Luk walk-around video from weeks ago.

Confirmed, as-per Palbay.
