Replying to: bodble2 (Jul 10, 2006 10:08 am) Sorry, I don't know proper etiquette for BMW ownership. Why would you say that, although I think I get the point. Personally, I am too lazy and incompetent to add any after market items. But I think splash guards actually could look attractive, and are probably quite useful.

Replying to: driver100 (Jul 10, 2006 12:56 pm) They aren't aftermarket items. They are OEM BMW accessories:  My wife likes her truck to stay clean. Since our private gravel driveway is over 2600 feet long, I know that the guards help quite a bit-I also fitted BMW guards to her E36 and E39.

Replying to: div2 (Jul 10, 2006 1:42 pm) I thought I would need a new paint job, I am sure it is still stuck to the inside of all the wheels and under the car. I got a good tar cleaner and that worked quite well but flaps would have saved me a lot of work. I also get a lot of built up dirt on the doors just under the mirrors, that is very hard to remove. This might solve that problem. I only wash my car about once every 6 weeks. It's nice that they were made to blend in with the cars design.

I definitely dig the '07 X3 3.0 si. What's with the "s" now? They've got it on the Z4 and now the X3.

Replying to: nyccarguy (Jul 12, 2006 6:34 pm) Well one week with this post and nobody answers. This forum is so quite  Information copile directly from BMW of North America Explanation of the Name Change The X3 3.0si will replace the X3 3.0i. The "s' is meant to differentiate the new more powerful engine from the X3 3.0i model it replaces. It also differentiates it from the X3 3.0i that will replace the X3 2.5i in markets outside the US. The US will continue with a single model startegy that was implemented for MY2006, by only offereing the X3 3.0si. ( The naming strategy is also consistent with the Z4.) Start of Production August 2006 SOP

Replying to: markcincinnati (Jul 05, 2006 7:21 pm) Mark, Had no idea we had career's in common. I work for the bully of the industry right now but may be going back on my own soon. I like the X3 thinking about replacing my dearly departed FX35 with one. |
