New X3MC owner
I'm hijacking the spousal unit's account to share my new X3MC. Just picked it up yesterday. Replaced a 2016 Macan Turbo with it. The Macan was coming out of warranty & had some issues while we had it, so we were concerned about its long term reliability.
We considered ordering a new Macan Turbo, but decided that we'd explore other options for now. We've had many BMWs over the years & Hubs has an X5M right now, but I wanted something a bit smaller for a daily driver. The X3 seems to fit the bill well. I wanted this color & did not want the spare tire hump, so it took a while to find the right car. I'm glad to come back to the family. Sorry for the wonky pics. Not sure how to fix that. |

Thanks for the fix!
I'm looking for a sunshade for the windshield. Would appreciate recommends. I've got my Macan sunshade in there now. Not a great combo! |

Congrats on the new X3 M Comp. Blue with black and beige interior looks great.
Are there things you miss from your old Macan? |

Congrats.
Not sure about sunshade, but this is a must. I just got mine last week, it is amazing center compartment organizer. Beautost Fit For BMW X3 2018 2019... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J5NKKGG...p_mob_ap_share

I can't seem to find a setting to allow the seat to go back when I turn off the ignition. Porsche calls it comfort entry. Does the X3 have that? Also, thanks to r33_RGSport & knepsterd for the links. Will order both items. I had a similar armrest storage gizmo in my Macan. Very handy. I REALLY need to set up my own account here! The Hubs will be demanding his back soon. I think I'm going to go with X3MC_Biemer. I know the spelling's wrong, but our sweet dearly departed Lab was named Biemer. Last edited by m5biemer; 01-01-2020 at 07:34 PM.. |

Lab is one of my favorite big dog. That username will mean a lot for Biemer.

Congrats on the beautiful new ride! Looks great and awesome color combination. We too had a 2016 Macan Turbo. From one great car to another great car!

Upon seeing your question I researched online and found another highly-rated company, Tuningpros, which has one apparently designed specifically for the G01 models. I went ahead and ordered one (only $30 or so), and it should be here within the week so I'll report back to see how it fits. I'm a bit puzzled by it's measurements of 51" wide by 35" height, as that seems too different to what we're using now which is basically doing the job. We'll see when it arrives... https://www.amazon.com/Tuningpros-Wi...ype=automotive |

It actually measures 55" max width x 26.5" max ht, fits like a glove (unlike the old ones we've been using from the F25), and appears to be of quality construction considering it's about 1/2 the cost of the Ultimate Reflector. It weighs 493 g, whereas the older Ultimate Reflector weighs 550 g. |

I had that “feature” on my 2003 Maxima and it was the worst thing I ever experienced. I tend to exit cars quickly and with the seat in motion as I was getting out of it I almost face planted. I ran back to the dealer to disable it. Perhaps Porsche does it better or maybe I’m just too quick |
