Post by nickyboy2013 » Wed Mar 06, 2013 3:02 pm

Hi i'm a Brit living in Berlin  just recently joined because of purchase from BMW DE of a Black X3 XDrive 2.0DA Comfort Pack Xenon Sportline 2009 not sure which spec i think they are different over here do not talk or read the lingo yet so can't read log book,it seems to have enough extras for what i want,had a test drive a few years back really liked it but just before signing up for one the wife was made redundant now finally have one and think it is great the wife was happy we managed to get her initials and DOB on Number plate for free, they did not have mine :-( ,also got some 18 inch Alloy rims with winter tyres for €600 unlike BMW to give away a bargain,i like to join owners clubs because you can learn about good or bad things about your Motor and see what other owners have done to theirs.

indeed a good price but I guess winter tyre sets are 2 to a penny in Germany and supply is more than demand unlike year in the UK were winter tyres are something new for people to get their heads and wallets round.

Hello and Welcime.

Good to see the X3 Crew slowly but steadily increasing too. :)

Indeed. It's a real shame more X1 & X3 owners have not come on board. X1's are staring to be more common place on the road as well.
