:hi: to the Forum.

Looks like a tidy example - apart from the ///M badge of course.... :P

Wheels meet kerbs  :'(

An no to the badge as well ... sorry.

Car looking good, but even on those cobbles i would be worried about the rims.

Hi and welcome :)

Another vote against the badge.......... Those who know a little re BMW's will spot the fake placement of the badge & roll eyes or giggle. Those who don't know aren't likely to be interested in your car........ if by chance they do appreciate your car it wont be due to that badge.

Wheels not my personal taste but okay if the driving dynamics not compromised compared to OEM.

Oh and just to put my opinions into context I prefer the standard look & don't run larger or non standard rims.

Is it manual or auto ?

Cloth or leather ?

What mpg is the computer saying you are returning on average ?


Car looks tidy enough for sure - I hope you enjoy the forum and good to see more X3 owners here :)

Alloys look okay - bet they're a bitch to clean!

You know the score on the badge - the mods have spoken...

The M badge was on it when I bought it  :oops: but it will probably come off, as for spec 6speed man 2.0d, park sensors front & rear,  cloth  :( business cd, parrot hands free, running boards, alloys.
so far showing 40mpg? 600 miles to a tank, but thats no town work, off to get it terracleaned today to see if that makes any difference. Anyone else done this?

as for kerbing no probs so far and the wheels are dead easy to clean  :)
