Is there an X3 demographics thread?
Prior to ordering the X3 I had an Audi A5 and was part of a thriving community very similar to this one in many ways. The forum http://www.a5oc.com was set up by someone in the US but also had a strong UK and worldwide contingent.
Possibly the most intriguing thread was the one about who people were and what they did for a living. Do we have one on here for the X3 that I've missed? See this: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/drivers-l...-work-you.html

IT Architect/Design Manager for a major UK telco/services brand that's now owned by a Spanish company (no prizes given the earlier pics)
Born early 1970 which makes me 41 as I write this. Married, two boys (currently 10 and 8) who just love the X3. Yes ... I can get get you a friends and family discount on a "UK" mobile phone contract ... although only within a couple of weeks of purchase/resign/upgrade. Think I can also get broadband and landline deals too these days. Take a look at https://o2justforyou.co.uk/friends-offers/ then PM me if you're interested. NB: contributors only - no lurkers No, I don't know exactly when the iPhone 5 or 4S will be out (even though I did work with Apple's iTunes team on the original UK iPhone launch ... bizarrely, they were all French and Canadian!)

45 + 2 kids at school. Used to work in IT.... but got fed up with several US employers and the way they continually change the business so I set up a rewewable technology company in UK 5 years ago. Have gone from airports and security to the M1/6&25 black spots. My F25 is only for private use, driving a met grey Caddy by day
Best places I have been to for car spotting are: CA for all the 'full size' SUV's. Qatar, UAE etc for high spec & high performance rare vehicles and Germany for the high speed premium motors everywhere and the least number of French cars |

Bought the x28 for my dad who is in his 50s, retired, grandfather, and a hunter-pecker on the keyboard. It will currently be used to replace his daily driver and to transport my niece around. I wouldn`t turn down a chance of getting one for myself... likely when I have kids on my own. Wife and I are under 30 and both work in finance.

It looks like I might be buying the wrong car!
I'm 59 and a civil servant, although my work has close associations with IT and I was an IT architect at an earlier point in my career. I have two grown children and four grandchildren, two in the UK and two in Australia. |
