Not in the U.S., it is a standard available leather color.

Too early to answer that. The X3 has the advantage of being the brand new baby... but the X5 is one hell of a sweet vehicle. Besides, I have both so that I don't have to make Sophie's Choice...

Can you take some pictures of the dampers to see if they are electronically controlled? Some aren't going to be convinced until its seen...

WOW! Nice!!!!
I didn't like those wheels at all on the Alpine White M Sport, but they look amazing on the Carbon Black. Beautiful!!

I have to admit that I was very nervous ordering the X3 M Sport in Carbon Black with the 310 style wheels without seeing them paired together first. I spent an hour at the dealer today staring at the vehicle at different angles, trying to decide if I liked the combo. One part of me thought it looked great and the other that it was too "boy racer" for lack of a better word. |

It's a different level of vehicle, just like the 5 Series compared to the 3 Series.

Good to hear your opinion, driven a number so know better materials etc so the size just keeps me off. Was more specifically curious on the difference in agility, handling of the two since you have both.

ChitownX looks awesome! This is exactly what I want to get! Just not set on trim. Consider alum or wood. Looking forward to more pics! Best wishes with it! Enjoy! Thanks for sharing!

BTW – I don’t understand why BMW doesn’t offer the same level of materials or options across model lines. Audi does a better job IMO offering the same level of materials and options across lines. Offering the same level in the X3 isn’t going to detract from the X5 or cause someone to step down from the X5 to the X3 because they can get everything in the X3 that’s offered in the X5. |
