It is considerably larger than the mat and it protects  8" of the sides of the compartment. The part number is 51 47 0 306 043 and MSRP is $265.00- or around $215.00 with your CCA card. |

I just picked up my X3 yesterday at the dealership. When I drove it home, I realized that after I signaled and made my left/right turn the signal would not shut off automatically, I didn't pay much attention to this until today. Is this a malfunction in the car? or is this how the car is? and is there a way I can fix it?

Thanks for the info on the rubber trunk mat! I will check it out when I go back to the dealer to find out why my new X3 rides like a truck! On smooth pavement it is sweet as can be but get on any kind of washboard, expansion joint, potholed surface and it will jar your fillings out. I have to believe that there is something not hooked up (like shocks!) under there. The units I test drove were not this harsh. I do not have the sport pkg, tho' it does have the 18" factory tire option. I hope that time will allow the suspension to loosen up a bit so I won't have to issue kidney belts to my pax! Did I mention that it really is a sweet driver!

Hi all, My X3 is in schedule on 2 weeks for inspection 1, 27K miles. I printout from BMW OC's the suggested checklist inspection I maintenance schedule, that explain to us "know exactly what to expect when your BMW is serviced". On the list I highlighted a few items and add a few mores. If someone already went to bring your X3 on inspection I and want to share their experiences is welcomed. Thanks,  X3_3.0 2004, Alpine White, Gray Montana, Steptronic

Replying to: xxmanutdxx (May 07, 2006 9:06 am) Does the indicator have the indents (you can feel them) or is this completely a sensor based version (like the other BMW's are at this point?) The switch may have the lane change feature which should allow you to hold the switch down for 1/2 second and release and the signal will continue for 3 or 4 more "blinks." Holding the stalk down for longer will activate the turn feature which does require the wheel to be articulated some number of degrees. At first you think it is you, then you learn to use the deft touch. On the other hand, stuff happens, things do break or are born broken. It seems improbable, but not impossible that this is what happened to you. |

It is difficult for me to read all of the badgering of the X3. Whether on this board or others...I must vent. If the ride is too stiff for you, get something else. If the trunk is too small, get something else. If the 0-60 is too slow, get something else. If the MPG is too low, get something else. If the price is too high, get something else. If the interior is not for you, get something else. If your looking for a vehicle that offers excellent winter traction, let's in lots of sun in the summer, provides an elevated stance on the road, gives some extra storage and utility and does it all with an almost 3-series like drive, then buy/lease the X3. I have an '04 X3 3.0, White w/Terr. In 26 months, only two or three trips to the dealer so far. Ok, I'm done now.

I am curious to know how many mpg people are getting in mixed and city driving on a tankful of gas in their 2006 X3s? Thanks.

Replying to: bodble2 (May 01, 2006 3:16 pm) bodble2, are you still there. I got kind of busy and haven't had a chance to reply...sorry. I agree that a Tuscon gets better mileage, a Jeep or Rover is better for off roading, a Lexus will be more reliable, etc. And, you are correct best is relative. I should probably say IMHO, I believe the X-3 has the best combination of engineering, looks, handling, most comfortable seating, and best overall thought out design (not too large, lots of cargo room,easy to reach controls. And every report I have read has been positive saying it is the closest to a car of any of the other SUV's. That is only my opinion, and I would be curious to know what you think is better? Of course, someone else will say a Lexus is best, and that will be their opinion. By the way, ride quality is very relative. I like to feel the road, so I don't mind the bumps...feels better than that spongy ride where you lean all over on the corners. |
