Hi guys

Sending some pictures of my new X3. I Picked her just 2 days ago. I Really like it.

It seems to me that M-Package, as gorgeous as it is, would reduce angles and height to the ground (ground cleareance) significantly. Do you happen to know the specs, what are the differences in angles (front and back and ground clereance) between normal car and M-Package?

I think these pics make it look lower than it actually is. Check my pics at the end of the Vermillion Red thread. I doubt the M Sport lowers the X3 even an inch.

Hey everyone, been a lirker for quite some time.

Here's my (new for me) 2011 X3 xDrive 35i M-Sport next to my 07 E70 X5 4.8. We live in Newbury Park, Ca where Designworks is. I see BMW prototypes all the time. I first laid eyes on the F25 about 3 years ago and it was love at first sight.

I stayed strong and resisted the jump to the Q5. Stoked I didn't. I held on for a good deal. It was previously owned by an elderly lady, so it's still got some of the plastic wrap on the interior.

Now the E70 has 123K on it and has been re tasked for lower mileage service.

Sally and Sally Jr (we name our cars).

Cheers

Chris

sorry for not taking any interior pics. Yes Black nevada leather. Was thinking about chestnut since i had coral red on my 3series before and it looks awesomes. but the chestnut seems more of a brownish color.

I ordered the AW with complete black interior, waiting now... will add some pics too later (end August)

A lot of gorgeous looking X3 M Sports!
Just can't get used to the ugly yellow reflector on US cars ... it just hurts my eyes!

Agree 100% but I would've thought that colour in particular would be right up your street

A little TLC and a couple coats, and she's ready for summer...

Sweet, I'm new to the x3. Getting one on Saturday. What front end is that.

Back in April we ordered our X3 MSport 35D, this bizarrely arrived on the same transporter as our 320D XDrive MSport which we ordered only 3 weeks ago - how excited was I, to receive an update from the dealer to say that both cars had arrived. Even though I'm not collecting them until September 1st (63 Reg) they allowed me to check out the cars in the compound straight after transporter delivery, I'm sure you wouldn't get this from every BMW dealership. However if you want a good dealer speak to Mark Roythorne at Listers (Kings Lynn) 01553 692000 - mention me "Gadgetz", they are a good team there and have always looked after me with every one of my BMW sales. Please find some pre-PDI photos of the X3 35D, I'll upload a few more when I collect it and its shiny!.

Check out the size of the pipes on the 35D - they are huge.

BMW X3 MSport 35D, Space Grey, Aluminium Rood Rails and Window Trims Visibility Pack, Professional Nav, Heated Front Seats, Heated Rear Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, 8 Speed Sport Auto, Oyster/Black Leather, Brush Aluminium Trim, Panoramic Sun Roof, BMW Advanced Stereo, Electric Front Seats, Electric Lumbar Support, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Head Up Display, Electric Tail gate, Electric Tow Bar, Sun Protection Glass2014 Model includes the new M badge on the front wing.

Had it for almost 40 days now....

Hey iceman,
the exterior is exactly the same on my ordered f25
Can't wait to pick it up.

The Combination with White, M Sport Package and those 310 M wheels is amazing....

Thanks for your pics. It helps me a lot.

This is a nice shot. Shows all the lines and where they flow.
