Return to the BMW X family

Greencat · 11-08-2018, 04:03 PM

After a brief hiatus, I am glad to be rejoining the X family. I spent the fall lurking the forums (thank you everyone) and contemplating between the G01 and the G05 and it was a tough decision. I waited till I could see the new G05 in person to make my decision. It was gorgeous but the lack of a diesel X5 option and the "fun factor" of the M40i steered me to the X3. I don't think I could have gone wrong either way. I just wish it could have been in Vermilion Red. Now the waiting begins...

Pictures with the fog light cover film on a G01?

Man, you guys are intriguing me to get an X3 instead of G05 X5.
I feel that the G01 X3 is more sportier than G05 X5.

It's DEF sportier. But if you have more than 1 kid then I would still recommend the X5. I went back and forth with the same dilemma. But in the end....the X3 won.

I am not too worry about that.
I fit both of them in my 997 C4S when I took it out.

I am more worry about getting bored in 1 year. Haha.

JWright82 · 11-09-2018, 08:41 AM

Congrats on the order and awesome build. Now let the waiting begin! Mine has been stuck on 150 (production begins) for eight days or something... I also considered the G05 but of course, went with the G01.

Look on my web under G30 or F90.
It is the same fitment.

Unfortunately, I can't post my own website per forum policy.
