#2264 of 3287 Re: Panoramic moonroof [bodble2] by terlato Nov 13, 2005 (11:37 am)
Replying to: bodble2 (Oct 09, 2005 7:25 pm) YES! Everytime someone got in my car they asked me if a rear window was open - it was that loud. I brought it in several times and finally they pushed the entire sunroof forward and that helped for a couple of months. Now, the noise is back and I have to keep the sunroof cover totally closed to keep the noise to a minimum. Even without the sunroof noise, it's a really loud vehicle - both engine and exterior wind noise.

Replying to: michellel (Oct 22, 2005 4:59 am) I live in Upstate NY, where we have lots of snow and ice for several months and it handled quite well. I am considering getting snow tires though, for even better handling. A few times the rear wheels fishtailed a bit on the ice, but overall the AWD is great. I had a Jimmy before this and it also handled well, but I think it mya have been a little heavier. I'll most likely get snowtires from tirerack.com. Hope this helps.   Melissia

Replying to: trader_tom (Nov 03, 2005 7:50 am) I live in Upstate NY, with lots of snow and ice. Overall it handles well, but I agree that snow handling could be better. I am most likely getting snow tires and rims for this winter from tirerack.com.   I had a Jimmy prior and it handled better in the snow - maybe it's a little heavier too?   Melissia

Replying to: jrynn (Nov 07, 2005 12:47 pm) I'm a little late in replying but maybe this helps. I have owned 3 Jeeps in the last 10 years. I did try a Blazer, Explorer new Jeep Liberty and Cherokee. Also a Nissan X-Trail (available in Canada and similar to a Honda). Then I tried the X3, mainly because my wife likes European cars the most. She has a 2004 Mercedes C240 wagon. When I drove the X3 I didn't want to try anything else. It is perfect. I didn't even want to take it back to the dealer. I can't imagine a better vehicle, great handling, comfort, looks, lots of room, safety features, reasonable gas mileage, gorgeous sun-roof. Hope this helps.
#2268 of 3287 05 X3 3.0i Died this weekend by chachi Nov 13, 2005 (7:54 pm)
Saturday morning at 6,596 miles my X3 shut off in the middle of an intersection. I went to start it and give it gas and it would die. Started it again and it had a very rough idle, engine sounds like a "tap tap tap" Check Engine light came on and it shut off again when I gave it gas. I barely got it out of the intersection. BMW Roadside Assistance came and got it within 30 min and took it to the dealership. Anybody have any clue on what might have happen to my car?   Thank you for your time. Nick W.

Replying to: chachi (Nov 13, 2005 7:54 pm) Sounds like bad gas/ clogged fuel filter or both. Were you low on gas??? Replies to this message: chachi (Nov 14, 2005 12:44 pm)

Replying to: cimedman (Nov 14, 2005 12:22 pm) The BMW dealer called and said the cylinder #3 ignition coil went bad. Apparently there is a new recall out on it. Nick W.
#2271 of 3287 X3 v. 330xi engines & AWD by jrynn Nov 16, 2005 (4:33 pm)
Why hasn't the X3 gotten the higher horsepower/higher torque 3.0 liter engine?   Is the AWD system in all BMW's now the same, or is the X3 still using an older version? Replies to this message: sfhondapilot (Nov 18, 2005 12:22 pm)
#2272 of 3287 Re: X3 v. 330xi engines & AWD [jrynn] by sfhondapilot Nov 18, 2005 (12:22 pm)
Replying to: jrynn (Nov 16, 2005 4:33 pm) The X3 was never using an "older version" of the AWD system. I'd expect the new engines to appear in the X3 in the 2007 model year.
#2273 of 3287 Home-Link by bmwbob277 Nov 20, 2005 (10:54 am)
I purchased a new X-3 and had the "garage opener" (Home-Link) installed as an option. My door opener is a LiftMaster (Chamberland) with the rolling code feature. I have programed several vehicles with this opener without any problems. But, the new X-3s HomeLink controller (mirror) will not program the door opener. I have also programed a non rolling code opener on the same (mirror) without any problem. Have anyone had any experience with my problem?? I've contacted BMW assist and HomeLink with no success. Thanks in advance for any help.
