I couldn't resist taking this picture when I saw the lighting.

Very nice!

How long did it take from when you ordered to taking delivery? Mine still says in order and its been a 1 1/2 weeks since my dealer placed the order.

I'm envious.

I was in Chicago this week (stayed at the Omni on Michigan Avenue). I was surprised I only saw three new X3's on the road! Didn't see any the first 2 days and on the third day I saw one silver and two black. Women were driving the two black X's so I knew they weren't you! Did you decide to keep the X and not try to lemon it now that there is a "fix" for the RPM's jumping?

We'll see if this fix actually does anything. I'm keeping it for now. I will let you know if anything changes.

And next time you're in town keep a lookout for me!

Absolutely. Though it's not as gaudy and grainy as the black metallic paints of other carmakers (see Lincoln). As for the swirls, they're there, but just be careful if you want to keep them down. You can't see them in the pictures, but trust me, they're there. The right angles can hide anything.

Great night shot. All the pics are nice. Are you still enjoying your X3 as much as I enjoy mine?

Judd..I think you sold me on the sapphire black. I looked at all of the colors at the dealer other than the sparkling bronze, and I really liked the black. It's not flat, and the little flake makes it look super nice.

Same reason I picked it I saw another BMW with it in the sun and I was sold. The metallic flakes add a little something extra to the black
