Those are nice, I have never seen those. I bought the all weather x3 mats several weeks ago but these would be nice to use in the spring and summer.

It is legit cold.

The car did not get up to temp in my short .5 mile drive .

It handled the snow like a champ with the Michelin winter tires on there .

For you guys in EU, just enjoy the 'Tropical weather'!

I have to reiterate that, it makes zero sense that auxiliary heating is available in EU but not US where we can get much colder weather! :

Well it’s going to be -5°C here tonight, but that is tropical compared to Chicago!

It's not X3 but it shows the temperature.

It was -24F (-31C for rest of the world) with windchill of -47F.

It's funny that you post this because I was wondering how other cars are handling the cold.

This morning at the gym I saw a gentleman with a trailblazer that died on him .

It was sitting in my garage overnight. So it was fine.
My wife's X3 seems also fine since she did not call me and complained anything about it.

It will be interesting to see how it starts after work.

Passed the break in (2000km), and immediately put into Sport Individual .. but not to any real effect since it's been snowing for the last few days .. and -5°C .. means.. quite shitty roads and less traction.

Added the Rear 3d Spider mats today They fit really nice and I've had the fronts for several weeks and they are very easy to clean! I like that it's in 3 separate pieces, as opposed to one big piece - makes it easier to select pieces that need cleaning and not having to take the whole thing out. Highly recommend

took her to an oil/filter change, scope service (?), and spoiler recall check looking like a wintry mess.

Cleaned up the first vomit in the back seat. The Vernasca was much easier to clean that the seat cover and baby chair... and the fabric seats in my previous car...

Installed the Bumper Shield Magnum (bumper with rubber spring to absorb any rear end impact - saw it from a tesla X forum) on my hitch, along with hitch lock. Also mounted the Tuxmat - wished I checked out the spider mats first as the three pieces in the rear would make it easier to wash.
