New purchase-2008 X3 3.0si
Hi all. I just added a 2008 X3 to my fleet. It's a great find. There's only 106k miles on the clock. The car is platinum bronze metallic over sand-beige leather. Cosmetically it's in great condition inside and out. It was ordered with the cold weather and premium packages. It has the xenon adaptive headlights. (That was mandatory for me.) Best of all it came with no screen or nav. That greatly simplifies upgrading the system. Unfortunately, it only came with one key and the remote battery in that gave up the ghost a long time ago. I bought 2 new keys from the dealer and am now waiting on a battery to patch up the old key's remote. The dealer that sold it did their inspection and refurbishment. I know it got brand new tires and hood struts. I'll be going through the vehicle this weekend to see what they missed.

The one big question I have right now is which Android screen to add to the car. I'm looking for one that runs Android 11, is 4G capable, and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Built in Nav is preferred. I've found a couple that look good. If anyone knows of others, let me know.
