She arrived, titanium silver X3, check out pics

mtlcruisin · 05-06-2011, 09:45 AM

Just picked her up from the dealer. It's titanium silver, x35i, prem pack, 19" tsw wheels. Let me know what you guys think, this is taken with a blackberry so sorry for the bad qual pics. I'll try getting some recent ones with a good cam at another time.

Sorry but honestly those black wheel rims do not look good on white (looks like spare tire to me). Anyway, congratulations!

They look sick, and the car is Silver, you might need to adjust the contrast on your monitor.

Grzechos · 05-06-2011, 10:18 AM

Very nice X, but rims really look small.

They are 19" ..I think I should have gotten 20s, but I had to draw the limit somewhere. But, ya I agree, 20s would have looked a bit better. If I just had a bit more money

I think those rims must look great in the flesh. Also re size, I view is that SAVs with big rims and ultra low profile tyres look wrong. You can't even drive over a low kerb with ultra lows so I think the rims look right size-wise.

Harplayr · 05-06-2011, 10:26 AM

Looks absolutely beautiful and unique with those wheels.
I hope you enjoy driving it as much as looking at it.

Itchywasabi · 05-06-2011, 10:33 AM

The "before" photo doesn't look silver to me. .Still look like a spare tire to me whatever adjustment I do with my monitor

Bimar · 05-06-2011, 10:35 AM

Rims very nice but Honestly black rims on black bumper and wheel arches dont fly imho, original oem rims look better with black trim. Nice car though

tuco44 · 05-06-2011, 10:35 AM

Congrats on getting her, looks great.....except..........

I don't care for the wheels at all, I think the OEM wheels she came with look better. But that's just me, and it's your car, so enjoy.

Hawkshaw · 05-06-2011, 10:42 AM

Love the car, not feeling the black rims tho. To each his own!

lol seriously ..Either way, they look great in person and I like them, so that's what matters

fedinand · 05-06-2011, 10:52 AM

Looks good! I know pics can't pick up all the detail of those wheels - I bet they look a lot better in person!

W3dge · 05-06-2011, 11:15 AM

Agree about the wheels, look like they've been thrown on as a temporary measure...

sfax · 05-06-2011, 11:51 AM

The first picture is AW and a different X3 surely!?! I'm not a fan of the black rims TBH but each to his own. Congratulations on your new ride

ZipSpeed · 05-06-2011, 12:07 PM

Don't like the black rims. Ruins the look of the vehicle IMO.

BXM3W · 05-06-2011, 12:15 PM

Definitely unique. As long as you like it, that's all that matters but not something I would do myself.

mtlcruisin · 05-06-2011, 12:16 PM

First pic, the car looks a bit white because of the pic taken in the showroom but it's before tints/wheels. I understand a lot of people don't like black rims, it's the style I like for silver. Personally, I don't like the OEM rims, but to each his own. I am keeping them for winter.

Although, I just parked in a Quiznos, and had 4 people checking out the car. It does look a bit similiar to my silver cayenne somewhat, but this car has a lot of kick in it. Also, when I first test drove a 28 I wasn't feeling the brakes, but I'm getting used to BMW brakes and the stiffer gas pedal. Definitely a fun SUV to drive and I'm already liking my decision to go for the X3 over new cayenne S.

cer2225 · 05-06-2011, 12:21 PM

No way for me on those rims, they look ghetto to me but hey, if you like them that's all that matters. That is what makes this country great.

Enjoy your ride...

Shaw · 05-06-2011, 12:40 PM

Give the guy a break with the black rim thing... it's awsome! if you like it yourself (which you obviously do!), then that's what counts!!!
What you got for the seat and trim color?
