Pointless photos and random places

A quick stop at the mall...

The wife and I are expecting so obviously she needs a proper 'Mom Car' in comes our new to us X3 M40i. Never knew she had such a heavy foot until now

Do these count as random pictures?

Today's "why not" pictures.

Wish there was a legit 1:64 scale diecast available but this is the best pocket-sized version of M40i I could get so far.

Hahaha slicks with bolt holes on the front two (or I have no clue if you didn’t mean run-flat tires).

Here are some more pics. It is actually a key holder for my X3 with working head&tail lights.

AliExpress at about 12-15 bucks.

Comes in black and white. You can also select the ones without the working lights.

Type “X3 key cover” to search for the sellers.

Same manufacturer seems to be doing many cars with the same format (3/5/X3 for BMW).

Said goodbye to our ol' girl today. 2020 x30e. Great car. I LOVED the hybrid. Sad this option is no longer available in the US.

This was her on day 1, before the chrome delete and shiny black shoes...

This was her today, the last day, with stock wheels back on. Final goodbyes. No looking back.

Turned the page. New chapter..

Decided not to wait on the refresh because of good discounts and not looking forward to the lack of buttons and a good shifter.

Is that a 30i? How’s the power difference between the 30e & I if so? What kind of discounts off msrp were you able to get?

SCOOkumar · 03-28-2024, 12:33 AM

Did you guys ever think you could love the X3 this much?

Yes, it's the 30i. First impression, the 30e felt faster, especially on takeoff. Haven't had a chance to open the 30i up but it's plenty fast. Noticeable difference is the shift in gear. 0-60 in the E was smooth as it took off in electric (and seamlessly transitioned to gas). Whereas the I has the expected "kick" from takeoff.

Engine sound is more satisfying in the I, if that's your thing. Handling on the I was stiffer, but the E felt more responsive.

Didn't know what to expect with Phytonic Blue. Pictures online looked nice, but nothing to write home about. But in person, Phytonic Blue is B-E-A-U-tiful.

I miss the E, that thing was sweat, but the 2024 I is very very impressive.

Edit: Seats in the I are much more comfortable. 30 minutes in the E, lower back would start hurting.

I always thought that Phytonic Blue was average in pictures, but on the road, I find it "bluetiful." LOL!
