X3 Sightings
So far I have only seen 3 X3s on the road, a black one in Covent Gardens, a white one in Earls Court and a black one near Barking.

Not a bad haul. I think we need dates of the sightings so that if it was an xBimmer member, they can identify themselves

2 this week! It must only be a matter of time before I spot one. I'm in central London most days and I keep seeing X5s but still no F25 X3s spotted. I'm starting to think my subconscious mind is playing tricks and blanking them out so I think that mine is the only one
I've seen about 4 Porsche Panameras in the last month. Who on earth is buying these? Shocker of a car.

Believe it or not, including mine there are 3 parked nightly on my 2 block street! I know, more deliveries in the States so far but still. Two days ago a black one identical to mine followed me for 5 blocks. So maybe no longer extraordinary here but still turning heads! Yesterday's onlooker was a Q5 driver next to me at a light. Light turned green and I quickly put him in my rearview mirror - couldn't help myself.

live in London, drive most days and haven't seen any either - for a car so much in demand, that some got in December - seems odd.
But I've also been a bit surprised I haven't seen more than a handful of 11 plates since 1st March.

I haven't spotted any other F25s in downtown Brooklyn NY. I would assume they are selling well. I am not complaining...I will enjoy the uniqueness as long as I can. I also get a lot of wtfs from audi drivers among others...

Not seen any others in St. Louis. Have 3 BMW dealerships in town. Plaza motors, the one I went to, has sold their 2011 allotment.
Have now noticed plenty of the 1st gen X3s--suspect those owners are envious of the beautiful second gen styling! |

In the last 6 weeks (the period in which I have been taking a really keen verging on obsessive interest in the X3) I have travelled from Leeds to Warrington, Wakefield, Carlisle, Harrogate, York and Malton. Also commuted 40 mile round trip each weekday, so covered wide area and around 2,000 miles. For those not familiar with the UK this is a pretty good coverage of much of the north of England.
Sightings so far - NIL ! Had a few "is this one" - "no it's an X5 again" moments. |

+1 Get these X5 mirages a lot. Also a brand new TS X1 coming up a hill yesterday had me thinking that I'd finally broken my duck. No dice. There just aren't that many out there yet. Either that or I'm just rubbish at this!

Our car park in Nottingham had up until two weeks ago a black one parked up regularly, and I often see a Space Grey one in the c/p of my local leisure centre.
Mine's gone into production this week, any ideas how long I've got to wait? Dealer says early May. |

6 weeks from start of production is the norm so early May looks accurate
