Hi,

I couldn't find a dedicated pictures thread through the search, but I know how much folks here love their pictures and honestly I wish I would have been able to see this color combo before ordering (not that I'm not thrilled with it, but I was quite nervous). Allegedly it's the first tartufo interior my dealer has seen let alone this color combo in general. I think it looks quite classy and goes well all together. I'm far from a professional photographer and grabbed these with an iPhone 7. Some are out in the sun, some are in the parkade (seemed more important for the interior than anything).

• Phytonic blue
• Tartufo individual interior
• Piano black trim
• 21" 726i wheels
• Ultimate package

I'll add more pics tomorrow evening once all badges are gone, passenger/drivers windows are tinted 35%, the back 7 tinted 5%, PPF on the full front of the car (up to winshield), rear bumper deck and possibly door edges.

I would drive this.

Great looking car - enjoy!

[Slalom]

Great choices!

[GGEVOX]

Is that the new FOB?

[ZHPsedan]

Love the wheels and the seats.

Since it’s an M40i, I’m guessing it’s still a 2018? This isn’t what the keyfob look like in the states.. what gives?

Very nice looking vehicle!

Nice color combo... but also want to know what's up with the FOB!?

[MarkyM]

Looks great, love the interior colour, looks like a richer Cognac (which I have), was one extra too far for me otherwise would have gone for it

That’s the display key. Comes standard with canada’s Ultimate package. Here it is beside the standard fob for sizing.

Thanks for posting this combo as it was on my mind.

US cars don't get this?

[Scottatah]

Just ran through a US build and didn’t see it as an option. It’s super cool, but it’s also pretty large and I don’t think it can do anything the connected app can’t (haven’t quite got my login details yet). Having said that the fancy bmw’s use that key to remote-control drive their car forward or backward into parking spots.

Joe Achillies reviewed the car in the UK and it had that FOB. The states simply gets shafted on everything when it comes to this particular vehicle. The wheels, the tires, the key fob, the steering wheel, and no acoustic glass on the front 2 windows. Why BMW???

This key fob came with my car as well. It’s cool the first 10min and when showing it to friends. Other than that it’s a pain and I rather have the regular fob.

It’s quite large, limited in what it can do, needs frequent charging and has no key ring loop so it’s just another thing to carry around to lose

What I would really like is the activity key or some form of app-based Bluetooth unlocking

Just think of the thousands and in many countries, tens of thousands of dollars cheaper we get the vehicle for in the good ole USA. BMW better give them some extras for having paid a kings ransom over what we pay.

Very nice color combo. Excellent! Enjoy!

I agree - I look at prices for the X3 in the EU and really choke, but we have to remember that the prices on the configurator there include sales tax.

I think that Canada and the US are the best markets to buy an X3. Comparing the same configuration in Switzerland (where I used to live) a build like Scottah would be US$105k in all almost double the price.

Many happy miles!

Pics with tint, PPF and debadging. Was initially going to leave the side M badges off, but they had to take them off for the PPF and I decided to leave em off. Can always put them back on if necessary.

First time I've ever done 5% tint. I have yet to drive at night, but daytime driving with polarized sunglasses is kinda like when you flip your rear view mirror in an old vehicle. Can see lights, but everything else is quite dark. Shoulder checking the side windows (granted my seat is in a horrible position for drivers side - i look at the door pillar usually) I feel like I see reflections more than the outside. Will take a smidge of getting used to. Looks neat though!







One more interior shot, just cause the pic came out well and I think does a good job of showing the Tartufo interior color.

[TreDirtyFive]

Looks Outstanding! Also, wow that is some dark tint! I'd be pulled over in an instant in LA with that shade.
