Any pics you can get would be great. Up to this point, the only "Bangled" BMW I seem to like is the Z4. From what I've seen on the web re: the X3, it actually doesn't look too bad. I'm starting to warm up to the new 6 series car......but I think I will need to see that one in person before I can make any assessment of it.

I recently got to check out a New 5 series up close....wasn't that "taken" by it. The E34s and E39s were great cars IMHO.

Is the X3 3.0 going to have a 6spd option?

[SoonerE39]

Is the X3 3.0 going to have a 6spd option?

Yup, they will come standard with a manual tranny. The X5 3.0 comes with one now, too. Yay, BMW. :D

[M3 Ryan]

I will try and get some photos too if I can sneek them in...

Long Beach got our first one on Wednesday.

The outside is kinda off. The hood is too long and low. The interior is very nice though, and it drives like a mini-X5; very stable for an SUV.

The outside is kinda off.

thats what i keep thinkin when i see the pics of em...like its too tall and narrow or sumthn...i'll be keen to see em in the metal for a better opinion...but yea, sumthn just looks wrong to me.

I saw one this weekend and really like them, wouldn't mind seeing my dad buy one.

[Rob]

how much will they cost?

[SykoBMW]

The 2.5 starts at 30k, 3.0 starts at 36-37k.

[AdamF 88iS]

The one at we got a work is a 3.0 automatic with premium pack and the sticker was about $41k.

I like the dual moonroof, they had a sweet display of it at the factory. Other than that the car seems like a cross between an X5 and an xterra, which should prove itself offroad
I can dig it

[Jand3rson]

I like it A LOT better than the X5, but I still hate the Bangle-ized headlights and grilles.

[Rob]

the new Cayenne V6 will have most of the hotness off the V8 and TT models, and sticker at $42K

competition is good.
