New X3 Owner (Pending Delivery!)
Hello all,
I'm a member on the "Z" forum, but just wanted to drop a post to say that I've also just joined the ranks of the 2nd gen X3! Dealer made a great offer on my '09 Lexus and picked up a loaded X3 xDrive28i for a great price after trade-in. Colors: Bronze Metallic & Nevada leather, with dark wood trim. In any case, I'll post some pics at the end of February when I take delivery. Dave

Congrats! You are going to have a lot of folks interested in pics of the sparkling bronze! What color leather did you get?

Yes, I've read a few of the color threads. Some like it, some not so much. But I managed to actually see an X5 on the lot with the same paint code (Bronze Metallic) and it looked ok to me, even on a cloudy day.
I picked the Nevada (dark brown) leather, plus the interior wood trim vs. the aluminium trim. Pics in 4 or 5 weeks! Dave

Ahh...understood, sorry about that! Mojave leather was my selection - the darkest of the two.

I am getting ready to order the Bronze. I did see an X5 on the lot in that color and it is gorgeous. I took a flash photo of it and there are gorgeous gold and copper flecks in the paint.

Contacted BMW Canada earlier this morning & my car has left Spartanburg! It's on route now to Toronto so should have it in a couple of weeks!!
Can't wait...I'll be sure to post some pics of the SB & Havana interior assuming the weather cooperates! Great delivery time too; Ordered Jan 21st and looks like I'll be getting it somewhere around the 25th. Much faster than my MY11 Z last year. Dave

As promised, couple of quick photos of the new X3 I just picked up a couple of hours ago!
As others have said, color is much better in person. The Havana leather appears very washed out in the photo below, not sure why, but doesn't look anything like that "live". No issues with the pick-up, condition of the car was immaculate as was my previous BMW. Handles beautifully! Dave
