Congratulations arvid!! I know you've had a long wait. Looks really nice. I think that black is the best colour for the M sport

Nice one!

Close to ordering a 2.0D M-Sport in alpine white myself!

Looks great - not sold on the M-Sport wheel offering though, are those the 19's?

Oh no, you're back on your M Sport kick again. I know from experience how the 3.5i engine gulps fuel, with fuel prices are where they are now, then diesel is a an option to be considered. M Sport brings a number of options to the X3 that otherwise you might specify individually. With the M Sport you get resale value on them too. Have a little respect for this guy's new car.......

18's I think, I quite like them but I gave up being fussy about wheels years ago....

edit: the wheels are indeed 19's , the 18's have spokes grouped in 3's.

Those are the 19" wheels that are the standard M Sport wheels for the 35i in the U.S. I think they look great.

Thanks for your comments!!! Will post more pics with a real camera... The weels are 19´s. The reason i choosed M-sport is cosmetic only. I did´nt go for rocker switch


(Kota, the most people understand the difference between m-sport and m-cars, M-sport has nothing to do, at all, with the engine. Please visit bmw.com for more information

Are those P Zero All-Seasons? I am hoping my M-sport comes with these as the Eagle LS2s I keep seeing on the US spec M-sports SUCK.

EDIT: So I take that back...those look like the P-Zero summer tires...oh well, looks like LS2s after all.

Haha i knew i would have upsetted many...hey im just joking, expressing my ideas because the forum would be boring if we would all always agree, so pleeeeeasese let me say what i think too...... it is obvious that we all have different ideas, tastes and each one is respectable. I dont mean to offend anyone, im happy for arvid car and the most important thing is that he is happy with it!

Congratulations!
The car looks great especially with the 19s. I have a CB 30d MSport on order with the same wheels, 2 months down, 6 more to go, due in December (it's killing me but pics like these help............I think!)

Enjoy and post some more pics please

You dont have the performance control switch?

Don't you have VSS or DDC? Thought all the m-sport had those switches.

Beautiful car, grattis ! Vad har du för däck på bilen?
