What color is your X3?

nosnoop · 01-08-2018, 04:04 AM

Looks like everyone has selected Phytonic Blue...
OK, not everyone

- just want to see the popularity of different colors.

Yes... I went THE blue.
It looks nice.

Blue - for me the weather in Ireland is grey enough without monochrome colours. I likes blue anyway

Here is my 330d at the dealers in '13 - you would think it was photoshopped!

sahajesh · 01-08-2018, 05:26 AM

I can see Phytonic Blue being the new Estoril Blue for the F30s - looks good but common as muck now.

Hopefully by the time I'm looking to get mine, there will be a wider range and a decent selection of used ones with different colours so I can see in the flesh.

mathan416 · 01-08-2018, 08:39 AM

They need more colours beyond the blacks, whites, and several shades of grey. LOL. I would have gone for a dark red if they had it available - and wasn't about to pay Individual rates.

So far as I know Sunstone is the only individual colour for Canada. No word on custom Individual colours at the moment but I can't see why they could not use any of the X4 colours (Melbourne Red for example).

sahajesh · 01-08-2018, 08:53 AM

Don't they keep the colour selection small for the first year or so and increase later on? May not help everyone as some are looking to buy now.

Keweenawbee · 01-08-2018, 11:48 AM

I would love to see the X-Line/M-Sport factor in this poll.

ZHPsedan · 01-08-2018, 11:56 AM

I saw a couple of Sunstones at the factory on the tour on Friday. Good looking color for sure.

I am anxious to see it!

KAP8 · 01-08-2018, 12:12 PM

I felt from the start that Phytonic Blue Metallic would be the big seller since that is what they were showing in all the pictures and videos.

BMWX3DRIVER · 01-08-2018, 12:35 PM

I was feeling for Terra Brown but just ended up with white in the end..kind of surprised to see none for Terra Brown so far.
I thought it looked really good on previous generation as well as other models (X1, X5).

It's a very different kind of vehicle from a 3 series. I would personally be pleased to see a few more bright blue SUVs in my neighborhood -- it would be a nice change from the usual monotony of white/grey/black SUVs. Having said that, we ordered CB.

CB is nice but take your point.

Just hoping by the time I come to get one, there will be a wider choice (two years from now).

Keweenawbee · 01-08-2018, 02:13 PM

Maybe we'll see formations of them (Phytonic Blue X3's) at ceremonies, civic events and the like.

KevinAC · 01-09-2018, 03:15 PM

I love my Carbon Black when it's clean, but it's becoming very difficult to keep it that way. I've always had dark cars, garage kept and I like cleaning them, but the CB seems to be a dirt magnet.

savage670 · 01-10-2018, 12:00 AM

M40i | Glacier Silver, Cognac interior, and 20” M wheels keeps it classy.

I highly recommend Ceramic paint protection right after you pick it up from the dealer!

Bimar · 01-10-2018, 07:16 AM

Can the 2 people with sandstone please post their pics....when they have them

Andy_o · 01-13-2018, 01:02 PM

The colour choice on the new X3 is really depressing

Shades of grey and dullness, which at a time when other manufacturers are being quite bold and innovative

I adore the Melbourne Red on my current X3
